Anybody Used Dynolicious

[robjay]

Hi All,

I was very excited about this new Iphone app called dynolicious. Unfortunately for me I only have an ipad (with some difficulty holding it vertical weged between the center console and some misc items - umbrella works well actually) so I used that instead and this is what I got after quite a bit of fooling around and some testing.

settings were: 1450kg , drive train loss 25%, roll-out 1inch (how sensitive is a real drag strip - i.e before it senses your reaction time vs star time), dollout distance (12 inches - default value - is this an unfair start?) (trigger 0.1G)

Car is a stock r34gtt auto - would up the boost to about 14 psi - no other mods.

Is this G of 0.65 accurate - can anybody confirm?

How would a similar car with manual trans perform?

What should I expect from an IC & 3 inch exhaust, should I also do fuel pump and EBC.

My only complaint is that I think the Kw are out of whack, I was expecting around 230kw. Has anybody else tried dynolicous and if so what settings have you used.

I think its pretty much on the money as I did a 14.71 quarter at a real drag strip with the same set-up.

Just pay to get it dyno'd. Then you can play with the apps.

lol, kids these days..

i'm pretty sure that app can remotely tune your ecu with realtime feedback. Not sure it does NOS yet.

[GTSBoy]

lol.

[dori34]

expecting 230kw from bone stock auto R34 GTT & 14psi?

righteo

[lilcrash]

Lol. My c34 only made 227kw with a hypergear turbo on 20 psi

The point was that Dynolicious and similar software is fairly accurate and if there was anyone out there that has used it.

Most of the replies so far strike as either young and immature or just immature.<br class="Apple-interchange-newline">

Really depends on the weight of the car that you input. Remember to include the driver and fuel weight. Also make sure the phone is solidly mounted. Is not too far off the mark actually.

Your approach to testing the power of your car strikes me as childish. I can go and say, "I dyno'd my car yesterday with my Iphone, got 300kw, fck yeh (self hi 5)"

Or

"Went and got my car dyno'd today at blahblah, car pulled a good 300kw with nice power curve and AFR's, boost was steady, car's looking pretty good"

Which phrase do you prefer?! Or do you prefer peak power reading other than power curve? I know which one wins races.

I believe that one of the UK car mags did a comparo with the app, the vbox that they use on new car reviews and they did it on the drag strip. There is a video floating around

ooo really. I might have to educate myself

Haha I really want to see your stockpile of avatar pics!

i think what would be cool is if the car dynod 200kw and the app showed 200kw, i would be impressed. more so if it was consistently accurate against lots of cars. that would be really cool.

but using it to determine how much power your car has, instead of being impressed with what an iphone can do, a liiiiitte silly.

one day im sure this technology will totally be possible. but right now i dont think we should fuss over the very first sign of such a thing

P.S. 206kw for your described setup is probably a little overstated. Maybe at the flywheel.

[some_cs_student]

I've got a copy of it but never have really been able to test it properly

The app to be accurate needs to be mounted with a good mount, otherwise movement completely throws off the calculation.

One friend claimed reasonable results with it, I'm skeptical.

To actually use it 0-100 or 1/4 mile you need to be in a straight line and start from a dead stop. On freeways you can't exactly stop so I've never done 0-100 properly

[jet_r31]

Woudn't it calculate flywheel hp by weight shifted ?, makes sense to me.....not rwkw, as every dyno is different all over the world, eg dynojet, mustang, mainline,dd, dynapack et etc...

Haha, I support this lineup fully!
