gtech times

[accordztech]

well i got my gtech from stealth audio D. thanks buddie. its pretty cool...yet the HP is still confusing me cause i dont know exactly how much my car weights.

yet the 1/4 mile was pretty accurate.

here is each run.
17.12 @ 84.6
17.35 @ 83
17.39 @ 82
17.1@85
17.1@84.8
17.0@85.2
17.0@85.1
17.08@85.5
17.06@85.2
16.91@89<---iono how i got that good...no tire spin
16.1 @ 98 <-----had some fun...haha was on a hill LOLZ

each of these times were on the same area but differnt launching styles...i think i got the 16.91 by not scratching. but it was cooler weather..a small amount of humidity..i say 73 degrees. i tried differnt shifting techniques as well....

these are automatic times for my f22a4.

HP wise when i had the car weight at 4040lbs i got a range from144...147....141...174...135

not sure which HP was right.

my car stock weights 3880 i weight like 160?

the HP was trippin today...lol it read at idle 30 hp with the ac on....then it jumped to 240 HP. lolZ!

but o well i got my 1/4 time. i thnk thats really accurate for my car.

at one point the car stalled. i know thats a fuel related problem cause i havent changed my fuel filter. haha

eh... last i remembered... stock weight should be about 3150 for the Accord EX. if your car's at 3880... something's up.

[accordztech]

in the back it says gross weight is 3880...i remember smong..the front was weighted at 3200.

i put it at 3200 lbs..but my hp never went over 110.

i want to call the techs monday about it...then go to the truck station to weight my car hehehehe.

110 sounds about right. The G-Tech is measuring your wheel HP, I believe, so you're not gonna get your 130 or 135 that the engine is rated at. My H22 came in at 153, but I only ran it once, and I did the opposite of you... I underestimated the weight of my car considerably, I think. I forget now exactly what I put in.

[accordztech]

kinda low in my mind though =)..haha..i should weigh my car...

yet if i measure the smae power on other accords ill be satisfied.

110 sounds right, you have 130 stock from the factory i believe and they say that your wheel hp is 85% of your flywheel horsepower....so 85% of 130 is 110.5

We should split the cost of one of those G Tech things. That would be sweet to have.

[deevergote]

Eh, they're kinda cool... you just need a good, long, flat road to use it on.... and you have to be able to go illegally fast :-D
I guess you could use it on a track, but why? I'm thinking about selling mine already. I only used it once.

the g-techs won't give you accurate HP readings even if you know the mass of your car to the 1000th place. why? because the G-tech doesn't factor the drag coefficient of your car. but that means that whatever HP reading the G-tech gives you, your actual wheel HP will be more in reality.

[accordztech]

exactly...though it can tell u at least near where u stand...mine fluxuated from nothing to 125 Hp....i dont really care about HP...i just use it for the 1/4

but i know a guy who dynod it and got near the results of the gtech...but it cant always be exact.

[deevergote]

Right. It's not too accurate, but it's close... Plus, it's kinda cool for someone with a fairly new swap (me) to see wheel hp numbers that are higher than my old crank hp!
I still have to try the 1/4 feature. that should be a bit more accurate.
