Banshee Gauge pod w/ Aeroforce Gauges Install

[helicopterpilotdoug]

I installed the Gauge pod and gauges a couple of months ago. IMHO the gauges are great. They can read all kinds of information about your GTO, and what's going on.

Before installation go to http://www.aeroforcetech.com/manuals.html and choose your gauge. The one for the GTO with the latest gauges is 3.4.

Here are photos showing the install and what I did.

I'm very pleased with the gauges. Both gauges will read 2 different items, and right now I have them reading Oil Pressure and Temp. on one, and Intake air temp, with ambient air temp on the other. Like I said before, you can read all kinds of things on these gauges.

Hope this helps someone with the installation of a gauge pod with gauges.

Great write up. Plan on getting gauges soon. You just made this sound really really simple to do. I didnt know that the aero gauges just plugged right in. (well sort of) I was thinking of sccs gauges w/ gto, but do these have oil press?

I was intimidated by the whole idea of removing the top cover and fishing the wire through, but it was a easy install. Once started, it took about 2 hours, and that's with taking the pics along the way. The Aeroforce Interceptor gauges are great. They just plug and play. Yes, they have oil pressure. Here is a list of paramaters and features of the gauges, as well as more info.

They also come in different colors

Awesome right up. I love my Aeroforce gauges. For anyone installing these with the SCSS pod, install is basically the same, only you have to trim the corners of the front tab on the dash. The instructions come w/ the pod. It takes a little longer but still fairly simple.

I have the SCSS gator pod with the aeroforce gauges. I love em! Great thing is you can use the analog portion of the gauge for a wide band. Works great.

Right now I'm trying to decided if I should do these because of all the different things it can tell you, or should I go with SCSS Gauage Pod. What do ya'll think?

The Aeroforce Interceptor gauges are great, mainly because of what you mentioned. One feature I really like about them is that they read 2 parameters on each gauge, so it's like having 4 gauges installed. Also if you want, you can scan up to 8 different parameters on each gauge. When you order the dual gauges setup it comes with the wires already spliced together, with the OBD2 connector ready to feed both gauges. I don't know anything about the scss gauges.

Really nice write up! Those Aeroforce Gauges are making me think twice about the JHP set I have been thinking about picking up. I noticed someone mentioned being able to connect a wideband. How many analog inputs does it have?

They have 2 analog inputs on each gauge. Go to
http://www.aeroforcetech.com/products_interceptor.html
That will give you all the info, as well as links to the manuals, parameters and features. The gauges are kind of expensive, but well worth it IMHO.
