CigeretLighter DYNO

[SE-Man]

Do those things that plug into the lighter and give you HP, 1/4mile, 0-60, and other stuff actually work. I have a friend selling his for $75, are they universal, cuz he has a civic.

gtech pro?
u can get them on ebay for $50
my friend just got one should be here in a couple weeks

i've heard that there really close to what u get at the track

[mitmaks]

bs...this kid that was in my class has 4dr teg and he claims 190whp. and he has intake, header, auto tranny, nothing special about. So hes total bs, but he claims thats what his little dyno thingie says.

aparently (i was just reading) that the weight of the car needs to be EXACT to get proper readings,

[killerpickle]

yeah thats right. Its similar to that quarter mile calc on barry's webpage. And its by no means exact

no it's not even close
the g-tech pro's are pretty close on what u get whern u goto the track (like 0.1 difference)

i have one.. its fun to test what u get before you go spend some money doin it at the track. and since i work by the airport, theres a hella long straight road next to it to drive on. i plugged in about 2800lbs (adding weight cuz of me and my subs) and got about 110hp with my GS. duno.. could be accurate and something on my car is wrong hahaha.. o yea but my 1/4 mile time was about right. i got mid 16's with the gtec pro at 90mph

the mph on those seem to be off..a mid 16 @ 90?!?!? I got 90 on ONE run, ever. And that was a 15.4 or something like that. I would not trust any times I got on one of those, maybe within a half second, but not 0.1

know something about the product before u bash it

the g-tech gets your mph at the end of the 1/4 mile wile when u goto the track they get the Average mph of your last 60 feet

[killerpickle]

is that true?
why would they average your last 60 feet?
(excuse my ignorance)

I have a g-tech. Its not that acurate sometimes. It almost has to be perfectly level or the reading come way off.

I know they measure it differently, but that's still off by quite a bit. We've discussed it over at mx6.com, and the difference in the average of 60 ft, and what you're going at the end is NOT more than a couple miles an hour, at most. Even if it was 88, that's still a lot faster than what you would be going during a mid 16 run.

I got this thing you plug into your cigarette lighter and you gain 75 hp. I bought it on ebay for 5 dollars.
