i don't know if this is the right area to put this in but I'm just wondering if anyone has tryed it and if so how close to accurate is it ??

i get that it used the phone accelerometer (which is pretty much that the g-tech is (accelerometers) ) but how accurate can an iphone app actually be ??

also iv tryed a g-tech before but never managed to get a result any were near what the dyno says ?

at the end of the quarter mile run do you have to break for it to know its a quarter mile or does it already know ?

also to get the right reading do you have to have the perfect launch ?? for the life of me i cant i ether spin the wheel through first and second ot just bog out (never had much experience drag racing )

or is the g-tech just another useless item that some one has fabricated to make money off us nieve people ?

geez your quick lol

yeah i just found an old thred on here

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Dy...;hl=dynolicious

just reading through it now

i guess in the words of many i should have used the search function first

I've tried a few dyno apps on my phone. so far I've managed a best of about 1450hp whilst sitting at my chair at work.

lol yeah I'm shore if you turn a g-tech upside down you would get the same sort of reading I'm thinking about people that have put it to the real test ??

PS. i drive machinery at work and supposedly the straddles there with there diesel motors get kW lol (they do a top speed of 20 k's)

put its hard to get a reading when the straddles is constantly rocking back and forward and bouncing around .

want a high kw reading? just put the weight of the car up. dynolicious cant do laptimes. it stops timing after 1/4mile or when you brake whichever comes first.

edit: goddamn internets screwing with my spelling

Dynolicious is mad, in my experience its been very accurate, I did my tests on the Hume hwy coming out of the truck rest stops on the side of the road, as long as the road is flat with no hills its a great tool for those 0-100 times and even quarter mile times if you take it to the track. If you have a look on Youtube theres a review where they compare the app with a real dyno and its within 5hp for memory and then they tested it against a 1/4 mile timer at the track and it was exactly the same, it totally kicked the G-techs ass.

    • Hey guys, Just want some advice on r34 GTT ac system. Since I’ve owned it, the ac compressor, doesn’t matter the set temperature or ambient temperature, runs for around 10 seconds then disengages the clutch, then re-engages everywhere 30 seconds or so and keeps repeating this.    is this normal?   I had it recharged today as it was slightly low and thought it would fix it but still does it. it cools fine in summer even prior to the recharge, except for the usual warmup when stopped or in traffic (still yet to wire overheat fan to on with ac)   any thoughts would be much appreciated 
    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
