W12 engine monitoring sensors
Can any one explain or show me where I can find out how to make multiple engine sensor measurements using the Vas 5054a
Basically now my engine has had a tune I would like to see the following at a glance....just like Durametric can do with Porsche Engine Revs IAT EGT Ignition advance Actual boost Lambda Banks 1 & 2 I know each of the above can probably be measured individually but can you load a screen up to see whole picture. :confused: Thanks in advance guys.

No body......................
Since selling the 996tt and moving over to B cars I some times feel there is a distinct lack of deep knowledge about these cars. on the Porsche 6speed forum you could just about find any answer to any question. Are we all so in the dark about these cars??? Its like pulling hens teeth getting indepth technical information. Frank |
Frank,
I believe that you're getting frustrated because you are comparing oranges to apples. in the Porsche world you will find a lot of people driving their cars on the race track, trying their best to find the best settings in order to gain this 1/10th of a second they believe they can win on their last lap.... and... let's face it the 911 is much more ''simple'' than the CGT! I do believe that the Bentley owners are much more interested in the sheer pleasure of driving their car without really taking care of what his happing ''inside'' the engine.I'm convinced that some of us, including me, are technically interested to know ''how it works'', but IAT, EGT, ignition advance... really? who is going to be interested in these figures? is already difficult enough to get those car to "function" properly without trying to ''fine tune'' them.:o |

I want to plug it up and monitor the performance and engine safety data as i'm driving under full engine load etc etc etc. I think its the Polaris Submariner in me, the need to learn a system fully and be able to maintain it. I want to be master of the systems and not slave to a bewildering array of technology for which I constantly cross my fingers in the hope it doesn't go wrong. |
996 turbo you said! good civilized car!
I use to own a 930 turbo back in '79 that was really something to remember!:eek: coming back to the CGT I doubt very much that you could do what you want to do with the VAS. I think that most of the software is ''proprietary'' and that without the proper equipment and passwords you will never ''enter'' the system. the VAS will allow you to check the ''fault'' storage memory and fix some of it or reset some of the factory default settings but nothing else ... I haven't asked, but I'm not convinced that even the dealers can do what you want to do! why don't you call Bentley customer service in the factory and ask them or maybe the guys who did your DMS tune.... |
