Likwid Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Ok here's the short version. I've got a device that I'd like to "limit test". It's plugs into a standard ODB port, does nothing other than monitor speed and time (and beep).So, anyone got a car they're taking to the track soon and don't mind letting this little device ride along?Thanks, and pie.

RSVDon Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Just give it to the local hot-rod asshole. Problem solved. LolI could "limit-test" it around Dayton if that's where you were located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 define limit test >90 MPH for >3-5 minutes sustainedSeveral speed changes in short periods of time (positive and negative)Not a bad idea to go to the track and just hand it to somebody... but I suspect someone here would appreciate having a time series mapping just for the nerd factor (I'd look at JRM but he's got the lame truck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I have an idea what this is and will be used for, and being a privacy advocate -- I don't want to help you. My friends that frequent Nelsons in their Miatas, OTOH... I assume it has to be OBDII compliant though, not OBDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's NOT linked to our product data in any way, it only populates a test database that we use. I thought a couple "WHAT THE HECK" graphs would be really funny, other than a handful of us and our normal highway driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 If you really get in a pinch, there's a shop right down the road from me that tunes 1000hp Nissan GT-Rs and do a lot of dyno runs. Maybe they'd let you plug it in for a few pulls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 ftfy You trying to get me in trouble? lolI'll have the device in my car for some time as well, just needed someone for the "fun" graphs.Disclaimer: This is a personal request and is not related to the company I work for.If you really get in a pinch, there's a shop right down the road from me that tunes 1000hp Nissan GT-Rs and do a lot of dyno runs. Maybe they'd let you plug it in for a few pulls?OOOOOOH! That's a good idea, I don't ACTUALLY need the car on the road, a Dyno run would be perfect for this.... I'll ping you as soon as I get it.

Uncle Punk Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I can't do over 145 because the brick has too much wind resistance to shift into over drive. 115 for three or four miles, no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 You won't find a track where anyone with a normal car could sustain a speed above 90 mph for 3 minutes or more. There's not a stretch long enough. This would have to be almost exclusively "off highway". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 My SUV can keep up with 90% of the sportbikes on here riding the back roads. I could make a run down 60 and up 83 but you won't see many long sustained 100 MPH runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I wish, I don't know of any bikes with OBD ports, and we've never tested a device for bikes.shit this takes my original idea out of the mix since it doesn't have an OBD port. I know the perfect place in Mexico to achieve 90+ for a couple minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 tracking a car is too rich for my blood... Theoretically, an off-track excursion costs you less, but tires and gas cost you a lot more.I'd check the Nelson or BeaveRun web sites and see when they have a car group scheduled. Watch a couple of sessions, and then approach someone who looks fast, or just has a badass car - i mean, if you're looking for dramatic speed changes, the better drives will actually provide less exciting data by being smoother. The less skilled drivers will be doing the park/scream act, and with a big engine, really be more interesting results.by that logic, a bike would probably be a cooler graph than a car too...
