Wich gauge parameters are you using in TunerView ?

I am new to Ktuner/TunerView and tuning in general and would like to know what you guys are looking at on your display ? Wich ones are useful to have or useless when driving ?

Gauges to look at ?
-Knck Ctrl
-ECT
-IAT
-PSI (MAP)
-V (BAT) ?

Are these needed and why ?
-ECT2
-IAT2
-AFR/O2
-deg(IGN)
-PSI (TC) TurboC Pressure
-PSI (TC Target)

Nice to have but kinda useless...
-rpm already have it
-Speed already have it
-Gear I know wich gear I'm in
-throttle %(TPS)
-Acceleration (G force) ?
-Brake Pressure ?

And I maybe am listing parameters that don't have any sensor in the civicX...
these ones would be useless x2

They're all useful in some aspect, but you may find that some are not useful to you.

You will likely benefit from this list:

AFR is air/fuel ratio.

I view MAP(boost), IAT, IAT2, AFR, KControl, Voltage, ECT, ... not sure what else off the top of my head

I find that IAT2 is useful to view as it is the temperature after the intercooler and just before it goes into the motor. This is the actual temperature that the car uses for fuel mixtures. You can tell how well or poorly the intercooler is doing in the heat.

This makes a lot of sense.

Also, what values for AFR and deg(IGN) would tell me if my engine performs well or poorly ?

DBW is better than TPS.
TPS is your gas pedal. DBW is the throttle plate.
You could be giving it 20% but the DBW will be doing 100% instead

I'll switch to that. Thanks

@10civics how do you display knock control? I've been trying on mine but it doesn't let me.

Thank you that was awesome i was able to do it right away.

No problem

Is there any comparable app on iOS to be able to track such data or would I need to purchase a different device?

Not that I'm aware of.
