Datalogging

[Jim Allen]

Thanks. That leads me to wonder... do you get more time the fewer the parameters you choose? Because I have a bunch of other instruments, the readouts of which I can also datalog, such as coolant temp, oil pressure, etc, using an Isspro Performax system. I really only need two parameters, EOT and VCT. The other info, including actual coolant temp (not interpolated CHT).

The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem......
BTW
Where'd you you get your dual gauge A pillar pod?

Yes but no, the less PIDs greatly increases the log time but there is no way for you to select less PIDs. The stock edge programmers record 6 PIDs for about a minute but Bill made some changes on the gryphons and it is 5 Pids for about 5 minutes, but he may have also adjusted the amount of memory that is taken up for datalogging. Are you positive your truck reads the EOT? Mine only uses CHT because the EOT ALWAYS reads zero on the gryphon making datalogging that PID impossible.

Hey, I recognize that picture.
Definitely makes mine look inferior.


Where did you get the tray mounts for those two lower guages and how did you route the wires? I'm assuming you drilled a hole and routed it down above the CD player.

The pod came from Isspro, but they sub it out and I think you can find them easily enough... just google it.

My Gryphon reads EOT (assuming you mean engine oil temp) on the PID. I hope you don't mean there is a glitch on the datalogging side? Anyway the VCT is disabled when oil temp is around 32F and operation limited until it reaches 100F, so the system definitely uses that temp sensor in the oil pan!

The two gauge pod down low where the ash tray would be is something I found and adapted. I keep the rear diff temp and trans cooler line outlet temp gauges there.

One thing that will be made clear on the link below is that the Performax system uses one wire to drive as many as 29 gauges, so the wiring runs are somewhat minimized under the dash.

Longshot - what year is your truck? Mine DOES display the EOT if I want it, but I remember Bill saying once that Ford dropped the EOT sensor in later model year trucks for some reason. If yours doesn't have the sensor, you're out of luck.

I really hate to say it.....
SCT is far more advanced in datalogging than the edge products will ever be.....

[Jim Allen]

Yeah, but the Gryphon is what I got!

Duh - I think I remember that now! I'm pretty sure you don't have the EOT sender.

Haha, yeah I was worried once upon a time because I put EOT on the display and it read zero for a few days. If you can read EOT on the gryphon then you can also log it. I just figured I'd throw it out there because I noticed you have an eleventh generation F150. They made some changes for the '08s and throwing out that sensor was one of them.

I just stuck to something easy like MAF sensor variations with the gotts mod to show that a truck wont run lean with the gotts mod. Your pushing a different boulder with your gryphon project.
But it probably will work well enough since the engine oil should be warm in a few minutes.
