Hi i recently saw those G-tech pro meters on eBay that says measure your BHP and 0-60 Times etc, and thought what most people do...SHIT

But then the same company put on the uprated version with a screen and software connection to your PC allowing Dyno plots etc.

So i had sum money in paypal account and brought one (200 quid).

Quite surpized today when it came, so i gave it a go!,

Couldnt really test it my turbo due to runnnig in and have no idea of the power yet so i tried it in standard cars to see how accurate it was, bloody accurate aswell!! couldnt believe it!,

First i tried it in my girlfriends dads Omega 2.5v6 book in at (170bhp standard). The gtech came up with 172.8 bhp and after 4 attemps all my readings were around 171 to 173bhp!!.

So next i tried it in my missus Punto GT Turbo, 136bhp standard, just have a K&N,. The g-tech meter came up with 131 bhp, and the cars down on boost at the moment due to fooked actuator!.

The software (PASS) is quite good aswell u get with it, just thought id let u all know incase u were thinking of buying one!, saves rolling road money!

If any of u wont more info about them just ask me.

 

So I guess you know the weights of all the cars in lbs then

Had one since last August Top bit of fun kit

 

yeah, if u have a nokia fone just use the convertor to change the weights, but the Gtech pro rr the one i have can use kg or ilbs!

Cant get it spot on unless i drive with scales permentaly under my car!!!!

 

I've seen these on Ebay for £40, that the same one?

 

you have a link where you bought it ?

 

Sounds like the old black one with red digits - they are crap

 

yeah thats the 40 quid from ebay, i got the 200 quid one with the screen and software for dyno plots

Just done my mates MR2 Turbo, standard except uprated plugs, i got 232.4BHP and 262.1lbs of TQ, not bad.

 

I take it that was rob i was telling him about it when he was round

 

yeah it was rob, got a good result after a few runs, cant be that far out, it is a quick car,

Engine not done yet mate??, i told you the summer didnt I

 

well ive been off this week an he keep saying will be done tomorow i go down an its not done just been down again and they have not took enough off the pistons so hopefully it will be done tomorow but im away so cant get it till next week an it better be ready

 

looks like a nifty bit of kit....let us know when you do some timed runs...

 

im having my s2 rolling roaded next saturday, so i will see how accurate the gtech is!.

will do some timed runs aswell.

 

Go measure quarter miles and 0-60. Thats the fun bit. Said to be quite accurate.

 

I have a question

Can you switch it to KM/H and Meters instead of MPH and feet ?

cant seem to find that anywhere on any website..

so if you own it .. please answer my question

 

Yes mate you can, there is a selection for US or metric which is KM/H

BHP or KW,

Its also a selection on the PASS software aswell so the dyno plots can be viewed in KM/H aswell as KW

 

thanks... thats gr8 .. i want it..

 

so whats wrong with the old one then? the 40 quid one

 

I think they are not bad, it will use the same accelerometer "G - sensor".
I guess the dsp (program) will be similar, so the only downside will be the lack of logging facilities.
I recon it will be quite accurate.

The eBayer who i got mine off sells far more of the 40 quid ones and hasnt had a negative so far,

The one i got gives graphs of bhp to rpm, HP vs time,RPMS,Speed, Gs and braking distance all viewable in car, then u can download them to your pc, heres my mate robs mr2 turbo graph in the PASS software
