I am so impressed so for with this app you can actualy set alarms for just about anything boost afr timing can't wait for my bluetooth.

 

[CHIQLES]

Hey crash get this thing and check it out man.

 

[CHIQLES]

Well i wanted to put a small video to show the options but i guess my phone is pretty small or my camera just sucks. Sorry for that people.

So the app will allow you to work with the cars pids. So now I'm trying to figure how thoughs work and what they are. So the app does have pids for ford wich I'm hopeing will work for our cars since I think ford helped with the msp I might be wrong in any case still trying to learn. Any one else checking the app out?

Theres a App for the iPhone called Rev that does that same stuff.

How does the ebay bluetooth obd work? I've heard that the quality can be pretty poor. I am thinking about getting one to use with torque as well.

 

[CHIQLES]

Havent got mine yet i hope it works though.

SO I WAS DRIVEING TODAY AND I HAD THE APP ON AND THE THING WAS TRYING TO CALCULATE MY HORSEPOWER IM UP TO 111.2 HP..TO MUCH TRAFFIC FOR THE CAR TO GET A DECENT RUN IN SO THE PHONE COULDNOT CALCULATE IT CORRECTLY. It was useing satelite gps in order to calculate values. still have not got my blue tooth.

Driving this morning 44 deg outside little damp air foggy. Car weight has been enterd as well as engine size. Droid calculated hp at 201.1 at 8.5 psi

 

[CHIQLES]

SO I HIT 201.5HP one more time today but it was only once, after that it was around 160hp or lower. I know its pretty unlikely that i have 200 hp but the two time I hit it everything was perfect and I could feel it, all my shifting and acceleration was constant torque. The rest of the time all my timing was off and it was the same old msp bog bog bog 160hp. Oh by the way I had set an alarm for the phone any time I would go over 100hp to alarm out. Its sounds like a large alarm clock beeb beeb beeb beeb then it would record the hp it hit and ask do you want to dismiss alarm. pretty cool so far but most likely this thing may end up getting me a speeding ticket.

still waiting by the mail next time amazon.com faster shipping.

So I finally got the obd2 bluetooth and I got to say it is sick. So much info timeing, temperatures, maf signal, and so much more. This morning I got a check engine light on the way to pick up the bluetooth from my bro's house it said the AIT was busted it was reading 150 so went to work where i had the original one. Wired that up, through another code for AIT surge and then blam reading perfect. 48.2 deg in the engine bay. Did not know that plastic AIT was so accrurate. Best money I ever spent. the only thing I hate is sometimes it takes awhile for the bluetooth to conect but once it does.. everything is good.

So since the arival of the blue tooth I have had some issues with my car. Not becuase of the bluetooth or the program.
*AIT goes bad*=fixed with replaceing.
*car is over heating overflow is boiling over*
*symptoms-water coolent boiling/still has green color no brown or froth in radiator/oil is clean and full no white creamy color/water pump still pushing water used heater to cool engine and get home/fans also come on*
*Torque program details-thermostat temp is stuck at 242.6 does not go up or down, car guage however does/1st O2 signal and 2nd O2 signal are starting to mach wich shows my cat is starting to fail wich can make your car over heat...*
*cold morning start temps are all reading again/ O2 signals are still matching 3/4 of the time.*
I will post more details as I get them.

 

[thecrash91]

sounds like tstat is gone and your cat is wearing out, time for non fouler?

 

[CHIQLES]

non-fouler?
thought that was just for tricking the ecu.
going to replace cat most likely aswell as the t-stat.

 

[thecrash91]

cats can be expensive, personally id do non fouler and gut the cat, but then again im running no cats at all anyway

 

[CHIQLES]

yes but its smog time for me, due in March. Got to stay ligit to pass I will have a hard enough time passing with this car as it stands. I failed Twice the last go around for visual we will see what happens this time.
