How accurate are those ipod/phone dynometers?

atpbx · 11 Jan 2009 at 11:58

I ask that because i loaded up pocket dyno off the app store onto my ipod touch and did a couple of runs in the neon, both times were pretty much what it says its supposed to do on the internet.

Best 0-60 in 7.71 seconds (wet)
Worst 0-60 in 7.76 seconds (wet) and a standing1/4 in 16.06 @90.58 mph.

I had my 11 year old son in the car as well, we were on the old airfield out at folkingham.

Book time for the car is 0-60 in 7.6 seconds and a standing quarter in 15.8 seconds.

Anybody else tried them?

I've just downloaded it too so I'll give it a go and report back.

Take a look at this : http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17947806&highlight=Dyno

I've done a few runs but can't really get any traction in 1st or second so its giving out poor times, will give it another blast when the dry weather comes.

I've been having a fiddle, the times might be accurate, but its saying the car has 42 WHP no matter what weight i put in.

Put some stickers on, you'll have more horsepowahs then.

If it doesn't change when you put a different weight in, then it could be a bug with the software.
