GTECH PRO results

[wilyolddave]

:D Just used my gtech for the first time on my willy2 (standard apart from a itg replacement filter)here are the 2 results so far:
1-0-60 7.15 can do better too much wheelspin and hit the rev limiter!!
2-0-60 6.81 better too much wheelspin still also went on to do 1/4 mile in 15.1 @ 101.1 mph :D
Not bad for the first couple of attempts but previous experience tells me these can be bettered!!(stop the wheels spinning will be a start!)
What results have other people had and do these results seem ok? :wink:
Used my mates sat nav other day and at 80mph in the willy the sat was reading 78mph pretty fair!!! 8)

I am yet to find a decent road, only one i found was bumpy and whe wheels kept skipping, and i got 8.something 0-60, but i ahve mine on cam doing it in about 7 secs

[neilc]

My 16v hit a 7.5 dead, needs some work :D

[summeh]

How accurate are these things?

[Martin]

Not too accurate by the sounds of it 15.1 is a bit quick for a road surface start and 101mph is about 9/10 mph wide of the mark.

whitch g-tech did you use? seen pro and normal . how mutch it cost?

[neilc]

Mine is the G-Tech Pro and I have tested it at the Pod.

It was within 0.1-0.2 every time :D Cant complain about that

[wilyolddave]

Without running out to the car(its pissing down!!) im sure it is a pro prob not 100% accurate but not a million miles off i think.Had discussions on other forums b4 and the general concensus is they are pretty good especially for the price.
Anyone who has used it have you tried the bhp measurement and if so what sort of figure do you put in for the weight and what sort of results do you get?? :wink:
Prob need to do more runs and then take an average figure or get up to Pod and get some real figures!! :twisted:

[mon]

how mutch are the g-tech?

[wilyolddave]

I got mine of ebay about 9mths ago all in for about £50 bargin!! :wink: just plug into cig lighter and away you go,do get some funny looks mind when trying it out!!! :twisted: Even if its not the most accurate (i dont think its to far of mind!) its good for comparisons ie b4 and after mods :wink:

[Craig]

times seem ok mate, just terminal speed seems a bit high thats all!

[mon]

£50 for the g-tech rr or ss

[Lunner]

Mine was about £30 off ebay, brand new

[VIPERONE]

i have one... ran 3 6.5- 60s.. i reckon i can whittle it down to 6

[Andyvalver]

The best ive had on my g-tech is 7.2. Mines only a baby 1.8 though :P

[wilyolddave]

:twisted: Hope the weather is ok 2morrow ill try a few more runs hope to get down to 6.5 ish, gunner 6 secs :shock: is yours standard be interesting to see if you can do it-hope so!! :twisted: :wink:
Anyone tried the max power bit on it?

[meganesport.net]

I got one of these too, 1/4 mile time is usually within a10th but the terminal speed is always mile sout

[Andyvalver]

dunno, I got 15.58 @ 86mph. Thats about right aint it? :P

[JayR]

See i dont know how this 1/4 mile at this speed works!?

I had 2 go's at my mates gtech last night, dunno what one it is but rekons he paid £110 for it, totally bodged up the first so wont go there but the second read a 0-60 in 7.4secs then a 1/4 in 15.93@89.4mph!!!

Was loads of wheel spin in first and abit on the change into second and the road is pretty lumpy but still a great road for beasting down!!! :lol:

How does the Gtech measure BHP, torque and RPM??

[wilyolddave]

The gtech ive got (pro) only measures bhp not torque or rpm.It works by using an accelerometer but thats about all i know!!When doing bhp it needs you to input the weight of the car including driver fuel etc so best bet is to get to a weighbridge.
I need to get my few niggling probs sorted (see TICKOVER in tech forum!!) then im going to do a load of runs and see wot i can come up with :wink: My mate in his M3 also wants to try it so that will be interesting!! 8)
There are better versions out there with data logging , GPs etc been toying with investing in one ??!only prob is one of these days im going to get caught mucking around with it , dont think coppers are going to see the usefullness of these gadgets!! :twisted:
