People with G-Tech what kind of number do you get? - Honda Prelude Forum

My sister's bf came here tonight with a friend and he had a G-Tech so we went to give it a try in my car. So before we arrived at the "drag strip" my CEL came on. (for the O2 sensor, it's been coming on from time to time for a while). So we did the first run and it said I got 136HP, so I thought damn that's low (keep in mind that I have a H22A4), so I turned off the car to get rid of the CEL and we did another run, this time 128HP. Then we tried a quarter mile run, 16.12@89.6MPH (we were 3 in the car, one being around 200-210lbs, me 165-170lbs and the other maybe 140lbs...)

I think my number are pittyful... So what kind of numbers are you guys getting with a G-Tech?

BTW This little gadget is kinda cool for people without drag strip or dyno or anything like that

I see the problem of having three people in the car will affect the hp reading and times dramatically, therefore screw up the calculations.
I heard the gtech device is rather accurate, my frds bring theirs to the drag strip and got identical times from the slip and gtech.

what kind of 1/4 mile do you expect to run with three people?

Well for the HP numbers you set the weight of the car + the weight of the people so even if you're 3 in the car it shouldn't change the numbers much... though I know that for the 1/4 miles it does affect the time, we just did it for fun and to give me an idea.

fleshbox: the G-tech is a little device that you plug in your cig lighter and it tells you your car's HP and 1/4 miles time, you can find them on Ebay for 50$, I'm probably gonna get one soon, I thought they were like 200$ but for 50$ I won't wait long before I get one

So anybody else have tried their car with a G-Tech?

hahaha yeah I know that it's not the best way to get a good 1/4 mile time but I still think the HP numbers were low, so that's why I'd like someone to tell me what they got so I can compare

Forbidden, do you like your A4 or would you rather have an A1? Im swapping out my H23 longblock and I might buy Satan_SRV's A4 longblock. But I figured I'd get some input first.

There's not much difference between the 2 except that the H22A4 is open deck vs close deck for the H22A1, though if I had to do it all over I would've spent the extra 300$ to get a JDM H22A. If you only get the longblock, H22A4 or H22A1 won't make a big difference, IMO the biggest difference between those 2 is the tranny.

back in the day when i used one, i kept getting 13.9 and sure enough i went to the track shortly after that and my best run was a 13.9. i actually have one in my car right now i havent even used, i'll try it out today and let you know!

I've never tried the hp one because I wasn't sure about the weight.

For 1/4 mile time I got 15.0.

It's just a gadget though, loses it's coolness after a while.

wutangben: so what kind of number did you get?
