Pocket Dyno

[Ericjayrol]

How many of you have used this app before?

is it accurate enough or is it just that its accurate enough for its price?

How much of a difference does it make if you enter the wrong weight into it? Since it wants you to account for luggage, petrol and passengers i doubt I could be spot on.

Do you have to keep going until you hit a certain speed for it to work?

If I just took it from 0-100 on a country road would that give me the readings?

Any information about it would be helpful, I want to be able to take these figures as not off by much and use this app to compare some of my mates cars with mine.

according to the free pocket dyno on my iphone i have 8111kw.

my r33 sure pulls hard....

[Munkyb0y]

well i put that app on my gf's gayphone. i pressed start. i shook the phone around, and apparently.... i ran an 8 second quarter mile.

not bad huh?

it equated to something like 1100hp ... at the elbow!

ahahahaha, tony you should wrap the phone in foam then give it to max and see how much HP he has.

[Munkyb0y]

i can tell you now, he does burnouts when he takes off on dirt and grass. and he's got some mad negative camber on the rear.

Dont forget to tick the mobil1 oil option on the app parameters.

Dont get any of the cheapo rubbish apps, they are beyond crap. I've got Dynolicious for the Ipod touch, its on the blackberry too. Works brilliantly well, i've always got the right sorts of figures with mine, an american car magazine compared it with a G-Tech (purpose built accelerometer measuring tool) and found it to be more accurate. They also took a car to the track and found the rwkw on the app was within 3kw of the actual dyno figure.

Remember with all accelerometer based devices the device has to be kept perfectly still, preferably a holder stuck to the car otherwise it wont be at all accurate.

Alright, thanks for all the info guys, especially Franga for really answering the question and providing some info thats related =P

mate had one on his phone, so while taking his car for a drive he tells me to stop and do a run (he doesnt have a licence so i drive his car). apparently a VLT with gt35r/r33 5 speed/nistune on ET streets takes 20+ secs to cover 400m... shit we got some speed up lol **moderator approved and sanctioned racetrack of course**

[Ericjayrol]

ofcourse it was on a sanctioned racetrack... one that you just decided to stop on and do a run while you were driving right?

i just got dynolicious and poket dyno on my iphone 3gs, cant wait to give them a try and them compare to a real dyno in a week or two ill post both results ...eventually

[Ericjayrol]

Thats great Dan!

Make sure to have it firmly attached, so we have accurate enough results

[mad082]

wonder if there are any for android, cause i had my car on the dyno about 2 weeks ago so would be interesting to compare

[JoelyMoley]

just bought dynolicious, lol looking forward to some straight highways now to give it a test

Dyno Master for android. Not sure how accurate it is but its worth a crack.

[xALmoN]

dynolicious doesn't work for the blackberry bold. thats kinda sad.

i'll look for someone with an iphone then. =(
