Can you update 139 to "Rochester, MI"?

^^^

spec.B is the only Noun authorized to stand-in for "Chuck Norris" on those facts.

Yup! This will be up to the user. Options are selected by toggling a dipswitch. For example I like to keep the TEMP on display most of the time, with the appropriate settings I would be able to view boost pressure while boosting and temperture under normal vac without pressing any buttons.

 

 

 

I will need some help testing on a car with a nav, I dont have a nav. I will also need a beta tester for an 2005. As a beta tester I would ship you the gauge - if it works and you like it you could then keep it for an "at cost" value (TBD). However I would need feedback and pictures.

 

Well - since the specB is the only 05-06 LGT with MT and factory Nav...I'd offer it up if you needed it. And I'd do a great job writing things up and documenting stuff

 

Actually, This will need to be tested...but since the serial data stream that is being recieved - modified - then re-transmitted should be the same for the NAV system. This means there is a good posibility that your instant MPG graph on your NAV system could turn into a boost gauge. Kinda neat.

If you need a volunteer to test this, with a MT and Factory Nav, I'd gladly step forward!!

ESPECIALLY if you can make the display read 'boost' or PSI vice MPG.

I understand where you're coming from... But I think you might think differently when you get your car dyno'd on a VERY hot & Humid day, and it reads like 40 whp lower than everyone else.

 

I think the CF should be used in order to COMPARE dyno's, as it makes things more standard. I am neither FOR nor AGAINST using it (although I'm glad they did use it cause it was an extremely hot and humid day ). Just my opinion

I dunno, ya know. I think I'd still be more interested in the power actually put down - not a guess as to what it 'could' have made under ideal situation. I mean, I don't know too many folk who'd want the corrected number if they dyno'd on a VERY cool day (20 degrees) and high Baro pressure, etc.

I dyno'd my rx8 saturday - was 95 degrees. Car made 173whp. Some sorta Dynacomp? or something? dyno...it's made close to 200 before. In January. 40 degrees, etc.

Frankly, Corrected Dyno measurements are worthless. I don't care about what my car 'theoretically' would produce on a standard day - I want to know what my car DID produce THAT day.

Especially for Turbo/SC cars? Leave Correction OFF.

Anybody else think this is a rather high reading dyno?

Righto - every dyno is absolutely set up differently, and likely measures differently. Without the context of 'what other stock cars' run on that dyno it's only 'entertainment'. Anothing thing to keep in mind - 'smoothing'. that dyno curve wasn't 'smoothed'. Non-smoothed dyno's jump around like that and can show higher-than-real numbers as a little peak touches a higher point on the scale. If that were smoothed to some degree, I bet it'd be 5?10? hp (peak) lower.

Or, his car is a ringer.

Now...if it were a spec.B...

However, when at home, boosting 21 psi (no awd dyno here) running 12.86-12.96.

E/T's aren't good indicators of Power - what were your trap speeds?
