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 :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
