hehehehe I'd ask to borrow it but umm... I got like nothing to make it work

I might get one when I get new tires assuming I get new tires before august

 

Dude, those are good for measuring preformance. They generally are within .2 secs of actual ets, but the MPH is 4-6 high. This has a lot to do with the way the track measures you MPH (average speed over the last 60 feet), versus using the "accelerometer" within the G-Tech.

But the ETs are accurate enough to actually use to quantify performance gains as it is quite consistent.

Have fun. They bring a new perspective to "on ramps" on the freeway.

 

So, is it calibrated in MPH or KPH???

 

Knots.

 

Come on over and hook it up to my gta. I'm praying for 15's but I fear it needs tuning first Its bike racing this weekend at Mission right? Doh

First night of runs is in.

Best 0-60 - 6.87 secs
Best 1/4 - 15.55@92.3 mph
RWHP - 200 (I put in the car as weighing 3500 lbs)

All of this was done with me (175 lbs) and my friend (180 lbs) in the car.

Fun tool!!! We were a bit disappointed in his Dakota RT tho....a best of 15.95@88 mph.

Here's some pointers on using the G-Tech that may be helpful to interpret the data.

The accuracy of the G-Tech is directly related to the care taken in setting it up. Get it level and get it straight. When you drive around have somebody hold the power cord or it will swing around and cause the G-Tech to tilt giving you bogus results.

The 0-60 mph and quarter mile features appear to work well. Quarter mile times will be within a tenth of a second. Since the 0-60 mph result is just a subset of the data collected throughout the quarter mile, my assumption is that it is within one tenth of actual time or better. The mph reading you get at the end of the quarter mile will be high but the G-Tech owner's manual tells you to expect it and gives you the reason why. The mph reading on the G-Tech is taken at the moment it recognizes that you have gone 1/4 mile. The mph reading at the drag strip is calculated by averaging your speed through the last few yards of your run. You gain a little speed in that distance so the G-Tech should read a bit higher.

Data gained from the Hp feature needs to be interpreted properly. The weight of the vehicle has a large affect on the Hp reading. Knowing the weight of your vehicle to the closest extent possible is important. The G-Tech only measures acceleration and takes readings at a quick sample rate. Sudden changes in acceleration caused from shifting will give you abnormally high readings. If you use the function that returns the highest recorded value it will give you false data because your highest recorded value will occur during a shift and be about 50 to 100 Hp higher than you are actually putting out. This means you need a passenger to watch the meter during real-time measurements (because you need to watch the road!). Also, the faster you go, the more drag you incur from wind and road friction. This will reduce your acceleration and cause the G-Tech to progressively show lower and lower readings. You need to get your Hp readings in 1st or 2nd gear. This can be tough if you have a high Hp car and can't get traction. Ultimately, I have seen the G-Tech be within 5 Hp of actual dyno measurements.

The G-force feature must work well by definition. This is so because the features above are fairly accurate and are based upon direct measurements of acceleration.

Hope this helps and have fun testing!

 

...I thought you were going to say "a scorching case of herpes" lol

Sounds like a fun gadget dude Does it run g-forces too ?

Don

 

Dakota RT's are dogs they dyno at 190 rwhp and that's with a 360

Yeah, it does the G-force thingy too...I havn't tried it yet.
