It seems the AIT seems to be about 10% less of whatever the outside temp is due to the well designed oem airbox.. I would like to see what same readings would be on a open filter type...

I'm going to verify this adapter works great with both my Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy SII, and Viewsonic G-Tablet in terms of BT pairing and use of Torque.

Been using it for two years. First one was stolen at the dealership, now on my second one.

Sorry to bring up a dead thread but I just started using this app and I had a question. I was monitoring my throttle % and noticed it never goes over 90%. 89.4% to be exact. Anyone else have this issue? I measured when in low RPMS and running the car hard to rev limiter.

I have an issue with gas mileage readings with Torque Pro. Torque Pro shows half the gas mileage the car's showing. I wrote the author about it but 2 updates it's still not resolved.

There's two methods Torque uses, and several calculations, to determine gas consumption/mileage.

Make certain you have the curb weight (3232 I believe) and engine displacement (3.7) input properly. Make certain to have the tank size (22.82) input properly. Turn on Advanced Connect.

All that should be done in the profile for the vehicle.

Make certain "Don't calculate MPG/Fuel" is unchecked. Make certain "Use vehicle fuel level sensor" is checked.(unchecked by default - this is a real-time input for Torque to calculate gas mileage).

That should be done in the OBD2 Adapter Settings window.


I'm reading my vehicle perfectly on 3 devices. Hopefully you get yours going properly. GL!:tup:

I wouldn't put too much stock into most of the values Torque gives.

For example:

My commanded AFR reads 17.5:1 at WOT while the actual AFR reads 12.5 :1

I'm pretty sure the ecu isn't actually commanding 17.5:1 at WOT.

My throttle position never goes above 88.63%

Who knows, maybe doing a throttle re-learn procedure will fix that issue, but I think its just a problem with the app

Anyone have any success reading the nissan PID's with the generic obd readers? The newer version of the torque software has some beta support for this now.

Hmm.. according to the manual the gas tank holds 19 gallons.
I'll try the rest and see if it helps.

GL!

I haven't tried them yet.

Still reading 11.5 on MPG, Trip MPG, and MPG (avg) at any speed. Nothing changed. The sensors must be different in the 2013 Z. Even figuring on paper gasoline used to miles driven is twice what Torque Pro shows.

Odd. I'm generally show 0.1 variation from what the display in the car shows. Are you certain you have the fuel sensor checked on in the adapter settings?

Don't calculate MPG/Fuel is unchecked. Suggested by Torque's author, Enhanced MPG calculation is checked. Use vehicle fuel level sensor is checked.

I think I turned off the enhanced MPG calc. I'll have to check when I get home.

i have used it to monitor AFR and measure WHP(i dont know how accurate it is but i got 266@6400rpm, it didnt pick up the rest of the rpm range though)

oh and you can use it as a proper gas guage that uses an analog gauge(well digital analog)

FYI, racerender can capture the video straight from Torque now, you can use that to overlay with your own video should you decide not to use your phone.

Fyi throttle only opens 90%. Uprev corrects the throttle postion...or so I have been told. I love the app....use it everynight on the way home. I dont have the afr function on my phone, is that only for the paid version?

I believe so.

here another great recording/OBD-app: DriveDeck https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...edeckdemo.home

You can use e.g. Racerender for the overlays. Within the app it looks like this:

look very similar to torque :tup:

Sub'd, would like to try this and have birthday money burning a hole in my pocket!

$35 for plxkiwi on amazon and $5 for the app....totally worth it.

^^Got a link? I don't see anything that cheap on amazon (other than the generics).

There u go!

That's not a plx kiwi. I suppose if it works for you great. I had tried a few other generic ones with poor results. Ended up getting the real plx kiwi BT.

Works great for me!

:iagree: the more expensive ones are stronger connections and refresh rate is much quicker. They can also send more pids than the cheaper units. I have the the obdlink mx its pretty much spot on with 0 lag.

That's what I use, great product except I had one stolen at the dealership when I left it plugged in and I lost another one. I am on my third arggg..

This is how fast it refreshes

I personally can't recommend the PLX Kiwi enough. It's not cheap, but 70 bucks being the difference between questionable feedback and fast feedback 100% of the time is a no-brainer for me personally.

Plus, you can always keep it and use it in your next car.

Is anyone able to completely remove the GPS position parameter from being logged during data logging? I've turned it off in the options but it still takes up 3 columns with xyz position data

Guys, anyone looking for a PLX Kiwi Bluetooth I have one in perfect working order for $80 s/h picked up by me. I switched to an iPhone a while ago and iOS requires the kiwi wifi (not Bluetooth). Don't mess around with the cheaper devices, they don't transmit data fast enough (I saw lag on my readings using Torque) and the connections are quirky. Take mine off my hands and don't ever worry about silly problems! I posted it in the FS forum a few weeks ago but no bites.

BTW - Torque and most othe OBDII apps are written to work with the Kiwi.

370z Vehicle Profile
 

Alright guys, just got my OBDII reader and purchased torque...What are the settings for the Vehicle Profile for the 370z?

Engine Displacement (liters): 3.7
Total Vehicle Weight (driver, fuel, etc): ?3400?
Fuel Type: Petrol
Fuel tank capacity: 19 US Gallons
Boost Adjustment: 0.0
Mqax dial RPM: 7500
Volumetric Efficiency %: 85%

I'm really unsure about the Vehicle Weight. What are the weights for the various trims, plus gas?

I will update this post with correct values as we go...so far, with the settings above, I've calculated 304hp at peak, with a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds.

Come on man, you can google that. Just go a little bit down the page.

Does the torque app display oil temp on the Z?

Not on my Z. It's not available.

I didn't realize this thread lived on. WOW! lol. I kinda forgot to come back and post photos of my install. Well, here they are

I pulled the cubby door out. Had to pop off a few things to get there. It was much simpler than I thought it would be. I followed a thread here about stereo removal. **DEFINITELY USE A RAG TO COVER THE SCREWDRIVER WHEN YOU PRY THE RING FROM AROUND THE SHIFTER**

This was the view after I pulled the cubby out. I don't have pics here but I dismantled the spring-loaded hinge. I'd recommend you take photos step by step if you ever plan on getting the hinge back in place. It's a bit of a mess.

I took a regular tablet protective case and flipped the cover over to the back (I guess you could just cut the cover, but I flipped it just so I could keep using it as a regular protector should I ever take all of this back apart). I took some vinyl (from Hobby Lobby, $8 for 2 square yards) and cut slits where the feet are for the tablet protector. Stretched the vinyl around the back of the cubby and held it with mini clamps while the gorilla glue I used dried.

Eventually I'll pull it back out and mod it to hide the charger cord behind the dash, but right now that's proving to be a bigger challenge than originally thought. I'll post pics whenever I get around to doing that.

use torque to log data every day. wish i could get transmission temp, oil pressure and oil temp.
