Hello,
I have started this project to get the turbine/compressor RPM on my car. From there, I added more stuff to get a better understanding of our engine. In addition, I provided an alternate version of some formulas to accommodate the 2.4L platform.
I'm a software engineer, so you will see some weird tricks that I used to make this work with Torque Pro. I recommend to start with the easy equations and validate them one by one. It is quite easy to screw up a formula and get a bad result. Let me know if you find something wrong or just want to add a new gauge to your dashboard.
*: Replace the * by the multiplication sign (x) when entering the equation.
/: Replace the / by the division sign (÷) when entering the equation.

As you go, this ratio is changed to reach 100% of the ambient air temperature at 128 km/h. This model is based on data that I collected on my car last summer. You will need to create an extra PID reading this value if you want to convert it to Fahrenheit instead of Celcius.

This equation gives an estimate of the intercooler efficiency. You will see a negative result when you are not in boost since the air entering the IC is cooler than the intake air temperature (the equation acts a heater in this case).
