FiTech electronic fuel injection (EFI) systems are a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to modernize their engine’s fuel delivery and performance. If you’re running a FiTech system or considering one, you might be wondering about its compatibility with OBDII and how to monitor your engine’s vitals effectively. The good news is, integrating digital gauges with your FiTech setup is easier than ever, especially with solutions like OneGauge.
OneGauge offers a plug-and-play solution to add a comprehensive digital gauge display to your FiTech EFI system. This kit simplifies the process, allowing you to monitor all the crucial parameters reported by your FiTech system right on a customizable screen.
This comprehensive kit includes everything you need to get started:
- OneGauge Hub: Encased in a durable ABS plastic housing and equipped with power wiring for easy installation.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Seamlessly connects with Android devices, enabling you to use popular apps like Torque Pro or RealDash for gauge display and data logging.
- OBDII Splitter: A convenient splitter is included, allowing you to use both your FiTech handheld tuner and the OneGauge screen simultaneously. You can keep your handheld connected for tuning adjustments while continuously monitoring gauges on your OneGauge display, or easily disconnect the handheld when not needed.
FiTech and OBDII Integration with OneGauge: Key Features
OneGauge is designed to work seamlessly with FiTech systems, leveraging the data available from your EFI setup. Here’s what makes OneGauge a great choice for FiTech users:
- Comprehensive Gauge Support: OneGauge reads and displays all the gauges available on your FiTech handheld’s “Dashboard” screen. This includes essential parameters like coolant temperature, RPM, manifold pressure, and more, giving you a complete overview of your engine’s performance.
- Handheld Tuner Functionality Maintained: You retain full functionality of your FiTech handheld tuner. OneGauge is designed for gauge display, while you continue to use your handheld for making system changes and fine-tuning your FiTech setup.
- Flexible Connection Modes: OneGauge offers two connection modes to suit your preference:
- Automatic Mode: This mode allows OneGauge to operate independently, without requiring the FiTech handheld to be plugged in for data access.
- Manual Mode: In this mode, you leave your FiTech handheld on the “Dashboard” screen, and OneGauge reads data directly from it. You can easily switch between these modes through the intuitive menus on OneGauge LCD screens (available with LCD screen kits). Users with Android devices can also have default settings configured and updated remotely.
- Important Note for Bluetooth Users: For optimal Bluetooth performance, OneGauge recommends using “manual” mode. Due to FiTech’s specific communication protocol, “automatic” mode with Bluetooth display connections is not guaranteed to be consistently reliable.
Beyond FiTech: The Versatility of OneGauge Digital Gauges
OneGauge is more than just a FiTech companion; it’s a highly versatile digital gauge system adaptable to a wide range of vehicles and engine configurations:
- Extensive Sensor Compatibility: Supports 25+ analog and digital inputs, compatible with a vast array of sensors. This makes OneGauge suitable for carbureted engines and pre-OBD-II vehicles as well as modern EFI systems.
- Easy Sensor Integration: Labeled screw terminals and clear instructions simplify the process of adding or removing sensors.
- OBD-II and CAN-BUS Options: Offers optional OBD-II connectivity for all OBDII-compliant vehicles and CAN-BUS communication for aftermarket EFI systems or standalone ECUs, expanding its compatibility even further.
- Wide Range of Sensor Options: Monitor a multitude of parameters with available sensors for temperature, pressure, boost/vacuum, oxygen levels, GPS speed, tachometer, voltage, fuel level, roll/tilt, TPMS, and much more.
- Adaptable and Upgradable: OneGauge is designed to grow with your vehicle needs. It can be transferred between vehicles, even those with different engine types, and expanded with optional upgrades at any time.
