How to get a boost reading on the N gauge.

[LSchicago]

I just added a Procharger to my car, and I'm not seeing a way to get a boost reading on my N gauge. Anyone have the answer?

you can turn on the boost gauge on the dash with forscan

i dont believe n gauge has a dedicated signal to read boost.

Turn the vacuum gauge in the center of the cluster to display boost?

Correct, it will read like the EB (vacuum and boost), but you have to change the settings in forscan. It seems to be pretty close on my car when I compare it to the mechanical gauge I have.

LS, you would need a lund boost box/ boost box omega. Seems like they dont have it in stock.

Looks permanently discontinued.

Never used Forscan before, but it seems like a simple solution.

The Ngauge will except analog inputs. I actually have fuel pressure. You would need a pressure sensor, a 5 volt source, and the analog cable from e-motion. But I believe they may be out of business so probably will need to go a different route.

Simple....Order a 3.5 bar MAP from Zeitronix. You'll then need to find a connector or harness that can plug in to the NGauge analog inputs. You then connect the MAP to the NGauge then you can configure the Analog 1 input on the NGauge to read out your PSI's. Here is a link to the NGauge manual that shows the pinouts and tells you how to get it setup. Don't even consider the Boost Box. It's a piece of garbage and why Lund discontinued it.

Thanks!

If you purchase the harness it’s fairly straight forward

Respectfully, this isn't true. People on this forum have tested the boost box omega along with a Zeitronix and they read near identical. I have one and it's been rock solid. Lund discontinued making the nGauge boost box in large part because e-motion, the nGauge mfg, went out of business. Zeitronix, as you mention and I agree entirely, is another great option.

EDIT for the OP: Zeitronix sells the harness to connect a zt2 to the RJ12 input on the back of the ngauge. Using that port is easier to setup than using the analog input pins.

Does anyone know the ForScan line number and the code to change vacuum to boost?
