Horsepower 1 and Kilowatts 1 are derived from the vehicle’s Engine Control module and based on a percentage of maximum
Torque. This gauge must first be configured by setting the maximum torque for the target vehicle. The maximum torque is a
common parameter that can be found by searching the internet for the engine specification for your vehicle. The torque is
commonly specified as a Torque @ a particular RPM. For example, 200 ft.lbs @ 3200 RPM. The Maximum torque is set via
the menu system:

Set HP1 Max Torque
The torque may be entered in either fl.lbs or N.m
Note
: In order for the KW1/HP1 or TRQ1 gauge to function, the “%Engine Load” gauge must be placed in the next display
position. For example, If HP1 is at position 2, and TRQ1 is at position 3, then % Engine Load must be placed at position 4.
Also, TRQ1 and HP1 should be in adjacent positions, i.e., 1 & 2, or 2 & 3, or 3 & 4, etc.
Note
For modified engines, alter the Torque value to represent the new estimated Torque.
Note
. Horsepower/KW 1 & 2 are provided as competing methods of determining the power output of the engine. In general
HP1 is likely to be more accurate. However, use which ever provides the most reasonable results for your vehicle.

Horsepower 2 and Kilowatts 2 are derived based on the amount of energy being consumed by the engine and the engine’s
efficiency. By default the efficiency is assumed to be 24%. This means that only 24% of the energy contained in the fuel
actually produces power or torque output. 24% is an good average for typical modern vehicles. This value can be adjusted if
more specific information is available via the menu system:

. Horsepower/KW 1 & 2 are provided as competing methods of determining the power output of the engine. In general
HP1 is likely to be more accurate. However, use which ever provides the most reasonable results for your vehicle. HP2 is
typically better for modified engines. Fuel usage calibration improves the accuracy.
