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 :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"
