Anybody Used Dynolicious

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.

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">

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 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.

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 :)

      Powder coating wheels

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
