Hand Held Dyno System
Sorry if its a repost guys. Do ya'll think this is for real?
Pocket Size Dyno
If you want to know the horsepower and torque of your engine, or the 0 to 60 time of your car, or even the 1/4 mile time and speed, just use the Nology PDA-Dyno.
Nology's PDA-Dyno is also an OBD II scan tool. Use it to check and clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC), or to turn off the "Check Engine" light. Yes, the one that came on right after you did all those cool engine mod's. Perfect for when you have to get the car smogged.
The PDA-Dyno turns your PDA into a Data Logger - Record several 1/4-mile runs and compare them later. Lets say you want to upgrade your engine and you would like to know if that new trick air cleaner really gives you more power. Do a baseline run and record the airflow data. Now install the new air cleaner and make another run (damn this is hard work). Now compare the data. More airflow = more horsepower.
All OBD II supplied data can be recorded and stored - Record all data during a road-race, or record your car's gas mileage (mpg) for a specific trip. A standard 8 MB PDA can hold hours of driving data (depends on free memory space).
Do all this, and more, by simply connecting your own PDA (Palm, Handspring Visor, Sony Clié[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] to the car's OBD II connector under the dash using the supplied OBD II compliant cable.
Supports all Generic OBD II Data. Works on all vehicles 1996 and newer; SAE J1850 (VPW, PWM); ISO 9141-2 (ISO); ISO 14230 (KWP 2000).
Measure:
Horsepower and Torque
0 to 60 times
1/4 mile time and speed
Fuel Economy (MPG) -
Display:
Supported OBD II Engine and Vehicle Information -
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). Reset "Check Engine Light" -
Displays real-time sensor data. Up to two sensors can be monitored and graphed simultaneously -
Up to 5 sensors can be displayed in bar-graph and analog -
Display following sensor types:
Load Value
Vehicle Speed
Coolant Temperature
Ignition Timing
Engine RPM
Fuel Trim
Mass Air Flow
Intake Air Temperature
Throttle Position
Fuel Pressure
Intake Manifold Pressure
Oxygen Sensors
(Does not support Enhanced Powertrain Data)
Includes:
PDA-Dyno/OBD II Interface Box
OBD II Interface Cable
Software CD (includes manual)

Rep Power: 0 wtf...that sounds like it'd be nice just for using as a diagnostic tool for the OBDII stuff, but i'd really like to know how you can possibly get HP and torque readings from anything other than a real dyno....i mean its not like the car's computer records the HP and torque for ya[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 368 read up on gtech to find out how they calculate your hp and torque...
you'll need to input your car weight.. unless you can accurately do that, you cant get an accurate dyno..
however quarter mile time and 0-60 for those types of devices are usually on the dot.
via using quarter mile time, and trap speed mph, you can calculate the hp output of a car....
that particular one is kinda pricy... 340 bucks? even the new gtech pro competition doesn't cost that much...
http://www.gtechpro.com/
nor is the new APEXI Rev/Speed Meter http://www.apexi-usa.com/meters_revspeedmeter.asp
these are both fancy versions... the original gtech does the same deal, without all the flashy interface (still cool) for like 50-60 bucks used...
I was going to get one but then I thought about it more and seriously, how many times am I going to use that?

Rep Power: 0 gtech pro did not give my friend an accurate 1/4 mile time, sixty foot, or reaction time every single run he did down the drag strip. on 1/4 mile, it was off from an average of 0.8-1.0 seconds on every run he did.
he traded it in for eagle rods
