Banks data monster/ anybody use one? - Page 4

BlaqWhole · 12-10-2021, 02:56 PM

I have the P3 vent gauge. It doesn't do everything the Banks gauge does. But it does read and clear DTCs and it does not disable the vent. The vents still funcion properly with the gauge installed. However I do plan to get a banks gauge with the suction mount as I'm starting to realize the importance of datalogging and monitoring more parameters. I'll probably try to get one as soon as the Holiday deals start going around.

Love mine. I just have the dual suction cup mount on mine. I have the data monster but haven’t read the data yet as I log on my laptop.

Gotta love those manifold temps

I don't love mine when they're 190, LOL!!

This looks like it works well.

I just picked one of the non-data logging models and can't seem to get knock retard to come up. Has anyone else used this feature? I just want to set-up an alert. I reached ot to Banks and they said they'd get with their engineers, but one of you guys said you've used it. The application list said 2020s weren't supported, but I figured the ECM couldn't be that dissimilar. I'm probably wrong, but wanted to ask if anyone else had used this feature and what year.

Thanks!

I don’t think knock retard is supported, just total timing. It’s probably the only thing I don’t like about my iDash. Otherwise, it’s awesome.

I’ve emailed them 3 times requesting knock to be added. Idk how hard it is to add that PID, but it can’t cost too much money or time.

Stephen12ZL1 · 12-31-2021, 08:44 PM

with regards to knock or knock retard...total timing is the net number if there is such an event. I suppose knowing if timing is retarded based on a knock event vs an IAT2/MAT temperature is worthy information. Keep asking Banks and let us know if an update becomes available!

*radz28* · 01-01-2022, 07:32 PM

I'm going to keep bugging them. I like the idea of an alert to pop-up because trying to drive fast while scanning a dashboard cluster and then off to an EQ-gauge and then squinting to see and calculate what my timing should be is just to much. It can't be that hard, especially after adding E-content.

I will follow-up with you guys. The more of you that express interest might be helpful, too, so please post up. I'll either reference this thread or start another strictly about this so they see there are more than a couple people who will find this helpful and maybe drag more sales to their product.

Okay, sent off another request. techsupport@bankspower.com

Hello,

Can you please add The knock retard PID as well as the ability to have a knock alert in the background to the Banks iDash?

There are many of us that have your product on https://www.camaro6.com/forums/. Furthermore, I’m sure there are many more sales for your product with expanded support for PID additions and firmware upgrades.

Here are just a few threads you can review to support this email request.

good work...and that PID could be used for GM products other than Camaros also. Seems like they should get the hint. Thanks!

Agreed, nice work fellas! I emailed Banks a few months back and will bug them again soon if your pleas do not motivate them.

swisstyphoon · 01-02-2022, 03:36 AM

I wish they could also include injector opening time in ms.
This way we could easily monitor the low-, and high side at the same time, with just one pid. We could set an alarm if it is too high, and we immediately know something is wrong with the fuel system.

*radz28* · 01-03-2022, 10:29 AM

I emailed them (minus swissy's request because I didn't see it at the time - I'm sorry about that) a little while ago. I attached a link to this thread, too, so they can see there is building interest for those who already made the purchase, so hopefully this will happen. When I hear something, I will post-up. It would do well for all of you you reach out to them, too, because the more noise we can make, the more they know their time will be valued.
