read a review in a magazine where they tested a GT-R on the strip and with a G-TECH. they aren't too bad but showed that they give you between .2 - .4 seconds advantage over the time measured at the dragstrip.


i guess that they could be interpreted as a performance upgrade of about 10kw :lol: :lol: :P

My bro has a G-Tech - does 0-100, 1/4 mile, braking, cornering G's, hp estimate.
If set up correctly on a flat surface, they are very accurate. I know of someone who has run their car down a dragstrip with the G-Tech attached and the G-tech was only 0.05-0.1 second quicker.

And that aside, they are a great way of measuring mods, as you can tell the difference on the G-Tech before and after each mod. I'd recommend it.

Okie dokie....

I just ordered a G-tech Pro unit. This will be interesting..!!! I got a lot to test and checkout.

First off, does anyone know a weighbridge near Dandenong..?? I need to have an accurate measurement of vehicle weight.

Look in the Back of the Melways under Public WieghBridges, I say that coz there was one on Hammond Rd and Sth Gippsland Hwy aswell.

I'd be pretty happy if they are accurate...i did a 1/4 mile few runs on my car and kept getting around 16.2's (which is apparantly a sec quicker than stock) and all I've done to my 1.8L is extractors and exhaust.

I just did a group buy for these units and I'm somewhat impressed.

It cost me $55 delivered for mine.... and inital testing (i've only done a HP run so far) netted me 72hp @ wheels.... and my dyno sheet says 72hp @ wheels as well... so thats pretty darn accurate.

That said, if you try testing on a hill all calculations are out of wack.

I sold my G-tech Pro and bought the competition model. This unit can data log and interface with a pc. Really cool stuff.

G-Tech Results (http://www.turblue.com/files/Powerchip.jpg)

The unit is pretty consistant. I do runs (to measure power) in 2nd gear. The boost is obviously lower than in 4th. Understanding the limitations of the unit, which include wind resistence etc, I noticed the variation to a dyno is quite appropriate.

My thoughts anyway.....

Ive got a beltronics accelerometre, from america, its pretty accurate, and it stores your 10 best times, id recommend it to anyone, and it hooks up to the computer, and measures pretty much anything imaginable.
