Dynolicious

[[ion] C2]

So there's this new app for the iPod Touch and iPhone called Dynolicious, which has skidpad recording information as well as full quarter mile and 0-60MPH and such based of the internal accelerometer readings. I figured I'd give it a shot using my friend's iPod Touch.

14.2 sec quarter mile with a 3.0 sec 60' LOL I spun terribly (I did a 2.2 60' at the track last year). Seems pretty accurate, it's supposed to be within 0.1 sec accuracy.

Can't wait for the new engine to be built and put in, along with some meth and tuning... mmm...

Man, that sounds pretty cool. I WANT A TOUCH SOO BAD!

[cavaliers60]

lol I have a touch and love the new apps... Phone Saber FTW! :lol:

[cherrington17]

i'll probably have one by the end of the year... that app sounds pretty badass!

[bizarre179]

lol I have a touch and love the new apps... Phone Saber FTW! :lol:

I think everyone knows you have an ipod touch. Lol.

I really can justify spending the money on one. I would love a 16 or 32 gb, but for $400-500... I think i will pass for now.;)

[Spilner521]

Nice. I actually just got an iPod Touch. Where would I find this program?

[cavaliers60]

You need Itunes 7.7 and the firmware 2.0 update on your ipod touch. This will install the app store. Then just do a search for the app. I don't have any use for it so I won't buy it, but it sounds cool.

[[ion] C2]

Dude yeah you do. When you drive it can monitor your G forces when you turn and accelerate and brake, you can check out what your peak g-forces are. It's awesome, lol. And you can find out how slow you are.

[Midgear]

spend hundreds of dollars for a new phone and contract.. or go find a track somewhere to get my 1/4 mile time..

my phone -is- a bit out-dated... :lol:

[cherrington17]

any place to get apps like these.... w/o paying for them? :lol:

[cavaliers60]

yeah.... you can risk bricking your iphone/Ipod Touch and jailbreak it.... Basically, it just unlocks the device and installs an installer that houses free third party apps. Although Apple's new updates prevent a lot of that from happening.

[cherrington17]

so what your telling me is, if i get an itouch, i'll have to be a non-pirate and actually PAY for apps... lame. (wouldn't want to brick something that expensive)

about how much do they cost?

[Midgear]

the hell is the difference between the iPhone and the iPod Touch?

according to their website.. prices start at $199 for the iPhone.. my contract with Cellular One is about up anyways.. might have to grab one of these when I renew :p

[cavaliers60]

I got the 16 GB touch for $400... The update is only $10, but I believe if you order it online, it comes with the update pre-installed and won't cost you the extra $10... They do have some good apps that are free. Most of them are within a $1-10 range. There are some that are more, but those are the REALLY good ones. Dynolicious is like $12.50 ish, but obviously is worth it. Most of that money goes towards the developers and not Apple. So those developers would hopefully use that money to make updates on their apps and such. Most of my apps are free and are really neat. I've only bought 3 apps.

Itouch is an Iphone w/o the phone.

[Midgear]

^^ thank you fer that little tid bit..

Might get an iPhone then.. already got an iPod and need to update my RAZR phone.. starting to get old.. it has been one dependable little piece of technology though- its been to hell and back.

[Cliff8928]

I might go pick up a new iPhone tomorrow. They just FINALLY got them in stock since the intro day. $299 is a steal for the 16gb, especially since i sold my original 8gb for $325 2 months ago :scpimp:

[Daytona]

Hmm...

Cost of keeping my old phone: $0
Cost of a tech ticket good for at least 3 passes down the 1/4-mile with accurate timing sensors: $40
Cost of gas to get to/from track: $20

TOTAL: $60

- Or -

New iPhone Touch: $400
Dynolicious program that will never be 100% accurate: $12.50

TOTAL: $412.50 (+ tax)


Hmm.....

[[ion] C2]

$12 is reasonable for those who already have it

[Redog]

I have a 5th gen iPod (30 gig) and jsut downloaded version 7.7 two days ago (version 7.6 crashed my CPU several times :rolleyes2: ) I wonder if it will work

[bizarre179]

^Never will. There is no accelerometer in any other ipod, besides the touch.

You dont have to upgrade to 2.0 firmware either. Just downgrade to 1.1.4, jailbreak, and get the app pirated.

[Frostbite545]

I work for apple :P

That being said, I cant say anything about jailbreaking an ipod, though I do have the 16GB touch, and the dynolicious program on it. Its actually quite accurate for the price, and I'm using it to perfect my launch so when I go to the track I can get the best time :)

[shez]

I have an iPhone with the new 2.0 firmware on it and it's fully unlocked. I don't have to pay for ANY apps. Haha. :D

What kind of times are you getting?

[bizarre179]

Diggin' up the thread...

I used the program yesterday and today with awesome results. I was trying to run times on my newly aquirred 3hp minibike, wasnt calibrating so i jumped in the alero and did a pass. Did the quarter in 16.29 at 86 i believe.

Anyways... the minibike. We made a mount for it, and ran it down the road. The vibration must have been too much or i was going way too fast because my 1/4 mile time was 15 seconds at 125mph. Top speed of 138mph. Also rated my hp at 86. So yeah, my 3hp Briggs motor is way faster than the 2.2 ecotech.

Good times. Very cool program and seems to have accurate information when using it for the right aplication.

[Frostbite545]

To further dig up the thread :P, I tested the program again recently, and its giving me 0 - 60 times around 6.9 to 7.3, with HP ratings near 205. Seeing as how i never answered billy's question, I figured i should.

[billytheman1188]

205hp with a cai,pcm, and exhaust! YEAAAA, that means im pushing 240 with my headers and HF cat ;)

Do not forget Frostbite has a factory freak.

[[ion] C2]

it said i had 148 hp so i doubt it's hp-calculating ability is too good

[Vinalero]

C2;390146']it said i had 148 hp so i doubt it's hp-calculating ability is too good

Its approximating those value of course :lol:

[Frostbite545]

205hp with a cai,pcm, and exhaust! YEAAAA, that means im pushing 240 with my headers and HF cat ;)

Heh heh, always remember that I ran a 14.9 with those simple mods. I seriously think theres other work done to the car I dont know about, but I think the program is pretty close to right in my case.

[rowdygls]

205hp with a cai,pcm, and exhaust! YEAAAA, that means im pushing 240 with my headers and HF cat ;)

I hate to burst your bubble but you won't get near 240 with that...you might see 220. I would even be surprised if you have over 200.

[[ion] C2]

clearly he's joking, notice the over-enthused "YEAAA" and the wink at the end.

[rowdygls]

I don't know, Billy is a bit different...j/k. Once the headers go on, he should have real close to 200. Anyway...someone want to send me their ipod that has this on it...I'll try it out and see how accurate it is :)

lol, close to 200????? your joking.....right?

[[ion] C2]

so Billy wasn't joking

yes 200 HP sounds about right

[billytheman1188]

no, i was joking.....but im def. not pushing 200hp......

[[ion] C2]

intake and exhaust = 30 HP? maybe, but that's about it

[billytheman1188]

30!? intake and exhaust probably adds about 10hp....headers-another 10hp

[[ion] C2]

i thought you meant you thought you had more than 200

[rowdygls]

this really all depends on where the power is being measured at...the crank or ground. 200 at the crank...yes

[billytheman1188]

about 160 at the wheels, right?

[tr4v1sf]

i got a iphone that is jailbroken very easy to do i got fireware 2.0.2 i have app store there is a way to get all the apps for free which i did its pretty sick there is a new program called rev lite really cool stuff basically a obd2 monitoring system you can check vehicle speed rpm fuel consumption coolant tem fuel pressure tp intake manifold pressure air temp timing advance and more you just need to get the app then there is a wireless obd2 adapter that you have to hook up works really good tho i think beta version is out now the full version will be coming out soon

[rowdygls]

about 160 at the wheels, right?

Yes, you should be around 160-170 whp once you get the headers on.

[billytheman1188]

Yes, you should be around 160-170 whp once you get the headers on.

The headers are on! You didnt see them at ASS? Probably cause you were too busy with your car.....but yea, they are on and sound niiiiice:rolleyes2:
