Most engine-monitoring software for cars doesn't support direct sensor 
interfacing, but relies on the car's computer system built-in engine 
monitoring, and simply displays the data that's already been collected 
and processed....

Apart from aircraft with a FADEC, or auto-powered experimentals running 
modern car engines complete with the OEM (or substitute) engine 
management computer... You need a hardware/software combo that can take 
raw data from whatever specific sensors you use, and convert it into 
graphical displays that make sense to you....

Eg, industrial-automation/SCADA equipment, or one of those 'custom' 
packages....
