Hi,

I did a search for dynolicious and couldn't find anything so forgive me if its been mentioned already.

Dynolicious

From the site.

* 0-60 Acceleration

* 1/4 Mile Elapsed Time

* Lateral G's

* Horsepower

If you have an Iphone its a cheap ($15.99) way to see some fairly accurate(?) stats for your car. Just do a search for dynolicious in the app store.

It does not have metric units in it so far, but I think it will be very popular and will get a metric option down the track.

Check out the screenshots page

EDIT: Just playing with the app now, you can put multiple cars into it, you get to put a photo for your car from the camera's photos. You also get to add mods to see before and after results. It has mounting instructions in the app.

The only testing ive been able to do so far is to swing it about to get to to measure g's and things which is making me look like an idiot in the office :blink:

Must work in a simliar way to a g-tech, accuracy will depend on the quality of the accelerometer in the i-phone. And a g-tech is accurate to aboutn 1/10 of a second they say.

Even if it isnt accurate (but it should be ok), it should be consistant, if you get what i mean. So good for comparing before and after. But i dont find the horsepower tool on my g-tech very useful, so i doubt you will on ur iphone.

Very nice little program...you essentially get a basic g-tech for a fraction of the price,

post ur times up

Or if you have a symbian S60 phone you can get that and more by using an ap called race chrono found here --> http://www.racechrono.com/ which is 100% free.

Thanks TiTAN.. hadnt heard of this before..

I have downloaded and installed it with the latest firmware onto my 6110 navigator, and ill let you guys know how it goes once i give it a run..

Hrmm, wonder whether GPS or accelerometer would be more accurate.. And if someone could make one for the iPhone that uses both for accuracy haha.

A 1hz GPS won't be accurate for standing start stuff because it only updates once a second.... a 5hz would be a bit better, a combination of both GPS and accelerometer would be good.

That is gold!! How do you know if your S60 symbian mob has an accelerometer or not, was thinking of getting a samsung G810, not sure if it has one though, would love something like that if it could data map stuff.

Don't worry, just saw it on the list for the 3rd edition... Pays to actually read links

N95 is S60 with acceleromter

ive got one on mine called TEMPES.GTX

its pretty average. i'm sure racechrono works on N95 too, but it has too many options for my liking.

i'm guessing Dynolicious will be ported to S60 before too long.

Dynolicious is pretty cool but only ported to iPhone at the moment as far as I know.

Can't wait to get my car back on Monday to give it a proper go. Tried it out in my friends Golf GTi today and was pretty impressed. I am sure it's not 100% re power readings but still a cool novelty! Nice to play with between hands of Texas Hold-em :)

On another note, thoroughly impressed with the GTi, drove it out to the airport today and it was a good drive. Pretty quick stock out of the box :rolleyes:

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
