Datalogging

[Jim Allen]

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.

You can see more about the gauges here:

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!

Don't hold your breath.....
But it looks like with PHP's version of minotaur software for the f150s they might include a live link module so you can use a laptop with the Gryphon. This wouldn't include the CS or CTS unfortunately....

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.

Speaking of which, I'll likely be reverting from my AEM back to a Gotts-like system. Open filter is just too noisy and I just don't run the truck hard enough to benefit from the extra power.

With the short record time available, I will likely test at different EOTs. I'm most interested in startup and 100C, fully warmed up.

I ran open filter and I could barely hear it. I switched back because of the awful intake temps. I was sitting in line at San Antonio Raceway to get some solid quarter mile times and it would climb over 110 degrees every time in 50 degree weather. I was running summer quarter mile times. I'm also thinking the track had something to do with it. Took a single data log and saw some funky stuff from one of the runs compared to the regular logs I have.

You should be able to get some good info, it'll just take longer to build up larger stats.
