The new DGauge from Brockway Engineering is now available!



The DGauge is a digital multi-gauge that plugs into the diagnostic port on most 1996 and later Asian, European and some US vehicles and displays real-time engine data on it's color TFT LCD. Through the selection of one of 3 different screen modes, you can monitor 2 or 4 user selectable parameters at a time. As many as 25 different parameters are available for viewing, depending on vehicle support and 7 parameters via external sensors. Exceptionally easy to set up and operate. With unmatched performance and reliability, the DGauge offers the most advanced technology in engine monitoring.

100% compatible with all K-Series applications utilizing the factory ECU.
100% compatible with K-Pro. Monitor A/F ratio, engine temp, boost and more.

Supported vehicle parameters:

STF (Short Term Fuel Trim) %

LTF (Long Term Fuel Trim) %

CLV (Calculated Load Value) %

ALV (Absolute Load Value) %

RPM (Engine RPM)

IGN (Ignition Timing) °

TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) %

MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) kPa

BP (Boost Pressure) kPa or psi

MAF (Mass Air Flow) g/s

ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) °F or °C

EOT (Engine Oil Temperature) °F or °C

IAT (Intake Air Temperature) °F or °C

AAT (Ambient Air Temperature) °F or °C

O2 (Oxygen Sensor Voltage) v (Bank1 and Bank2)

AFR (A/F Ratio) (Bank1 and Bank2)

ALC (Fuel Alcohol Level) %

VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) mph or km/h

BAT (Battery Voltage) v

FRP (Fuel Rail Pressure) kPa or psi

GR (Gear Position) 1,2,3,4,5,6

* Some parameters not available on all vehicles.

Supported external sensor parameters:

EOT (Engine Oil Temperature) °F or °C

IAT (Intake Air Temperature) °F or °C

AFR (A/F Ratio)

EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) °F or °C

OIL (Oil Pressure) kPa or psi

FRP (Fuel Rail Pressure) kPa or psi

BP (Boost Pressure) kPa or psi

Features:

• 3 screen modes that allow the user to select the data displayed.

• Selectable color for each "Gauge".

• Speed and Temperature can be displayed in Metric or English units.

• Pressure can be displayed in kPa or psi.

• Reads and clears diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's).

• Turns off check engine light (CEL).

• Displays boost on vehicles equipped with a MAP sensor.

• Displays A/F ratio on vehicles equipped with an OEM wideband O2 sensor.

• 2 external sensor inputs.

• Programmable shift light output.

• Adjustable ECT, EOT, EGT, BP and OIL alerts.

• Adjustable LCD brightness.

• Fast update rate.

• Data output for logging.

• Updatable Firmware.

• Simple Plug and Play installation with included Data Link cable.

• Advanced high reliability 3" TFT LCD. Readable in direct sunlight.

• Automotive grade components used throughout.

• Compact size (5.2"x 2.2"x0.75"). Includes mounting brackets.

• A/F ratio conversion for Honda/Acura K20 engines built from 2002 to 2003. Vehicles with these engines have wideband A/F sensors but do not report the A/F ratio via the standard PID for A/F ratio and must be converted from the O2 sensor voltage. Accuracy is within a tenth of a point (0.1) from 11.5:1 to 15.5:1 A/F ratio. It will read richer and leaner mixtures, however the conversion is less accurate as the A/F ratio moves out of this range.

Options:

Shift Light - The shift light output is adjustable from 3,000 rpm to 9,900 rpm in 100 rpm increments. The output can drive an LED shift light such as the SL2A (sold separately).

External Sensors - The DGauge has 2 external sensor inputs. Sensors and sensor connection cables are sold separately.

We are in final stages of testing a new parameter. Gear Position can be monitored for 1 through 6. This will be great for track use. Bear in mind that this is based on a calculation of RPM vs vehicle speed, so if you push in the clutch or are in neutral, then it can't identify the gear and so just shows "0". So far it works flawlessly, but as always, we do extensive testing before it is released. Should be in the next week or so. Customers that currently have a DGauge can send their unit back to us for a re-flash.
Firmware now released. Here is a video showing the performance of the Gear Position indicator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifNCPkbQHh0

It's a bit blurry due to the engine/vehicle vibrations. Best we could do with the camera mount that we have.

By the way, it's a K20 doing the honors. :up:
Very cool!
Nice gauge!
How hard would it be to design a double din screen viewer that works off the K-manager?

You need a computer to run graphics like that. More specifically, a carputer.
And Hondata would have to create the graphics output as an option in the K-Manager program.

Your question would be better answered by Hondata.
on my car I see I have the use of factory iat, you also sell a secondary iat sensor, could I run 2 iat's at the same time using this, for example one in the intake tubing and one in the supercharger manifold? almost for like a before and after picture.

also can this datalog?

I ordered everything else, so I could run this, I will be purchasing very soon. I am gonna working on gettting a 1 female to 2 male obd2 harness, so that I can run this and flash pro at the same time.

so excited

Yes, you can monitor the factory IAT and the external IAT. So you can see how much hotter the compressed air is. :up:

No internal data logging. The DGauge streams the data to an external device that will plug into a computer, but it's not available yet.
any type of eta.

I cant wait, it looks like a sweet set up, you'll have my money on thursday

Could be a couple of months. There is another project in front of it.
Yes, it is a sweet setup. Many happy customers. :up:
We changed Screen mode 3 to a 4x gauge layout. Screen 1 = Gauges 1 and 2. Screen 2 = Gauges 3 and 4. Screen 3 = Gauges 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Will this work with the hybrid racing full race conversion harness with the obd2 data port?

Yes!
Ill be picking one up for myself when I'm about to get my car running

very cool product, especially since it can display A/F by using the OEM wideband. I'd be interested in picking on up when funds allow.

Let us know when you're ready. :up:
