Nice and yeah your right about the usb so sweeeet. Where the plugins from the site or the market? I can finally see if I'm pulling timing and everything else

C5Natie

The wiki section about plugins has a list of them. I wrote them down and simply searched them in the market. All are free except the race one with the shift light, its $3.

Damn USPS, they suck. Tracking says the package, my interface, was delivered yet I got nothing. There was a letter in my mailbox so I know they came by. WTH?!

Chicago1

Maybe tommorow but odd it said delivered yet nothng

C5Natie

Well, got the interface today but it wouldn't communicate with the vettes ecu. It did read my Chrysler 200 and worked well. The app mentioned that some of the eBay interfaces may have trouble communicating with a j1850 protocol, which is what ford and gm use. So, they're sending me another more popular unit. Hope this one works.

Dang that sucks. Glad I waited but let us know how the new one goes.

I've been using Torque for awhile. Here is a video using my C6. I've been trying to run Trackmaster on my bionic while using my old 1st Gen Droid for Torque. So far I've not been having much luck but you can see that it works quite well.
I use the more expensive Kiwi bluetooth, about $80 IIRC.

Well I got the new interface in and it worked. App works good so far. Able to see quite a bit of data. Gonna do more driving tomorrow to keep testing. Like what I'm seeing so far.

Chicago1

are you able to see everything or just some stuff? Which one did he end up sending you so I can order one up? Thanks

C5Natie

So far Ive looked at speed, rpms, timing, intake temps, water temps, gear selection, hp/tq, throttle position, engine load and I did a knock detection test. I test a data log while cruising on the fwy just to see how to pull it up on the site and what it looks like. The only issue I had was finding the right passkey to pair it to my my phone via bluetooth. Most are "1234" or "0000". This one was "6789", just a heads up.

Edit: I found it in his ebay store. Going to order one up. Thanks man

C5Natie

I took a quick vid reviewing theapp with vette in case it helps. Ill post them up in a bit.

C5Natie

Got mine today my code was 1234. This thing is awesome going to purchase the full app. Sucks my phone screen is small. Gonna have to dowload this on the laptop. Which paramter are you looking at for 02's? Bank 1 2 3 or 4? I tried all and it just flucuates from .4 to sometimes .5. Always felt my o2s were not reading or cycling very very slow or not hooked up correctly but no codes. I messed with it for about 5 mins before my son came out to get me. Wish I still had my tablet. Will have to check that forum. I hope the pro version has knock readings. Thanks for this I spent a total of 21 bucks. Most people spend hundreds for this info

C5Natie

Oxygen sensors Bank 1 Sensor 1 and Bank 2 Sensor 1. .4v-.5v is normal at idle. It should go up with throttle and wot should max them at .9v. They will fluctuate at anything less then around 3/4 throttle, basically like a narrow band. Use the chart below as a reference. I just like reading a narrow band afr, actually a narrow band guage just reads the o2's. Its mostly for when you're wot. I got it from www.dynotunenitrous.com, they make many high quality gauges.

Gasoline
Meter Reading-Air/Fuel Ratio
.000mv 17.0:1
.100mv 17.0:1
.200mv 16.0:1
.300mv 15.5:1
.400mv 15.0:1
.500mv 14.7:1
.600mv Dangerously lean 14.6:1
.700mv Getting Lean 14.5:1
.800mv Max power (Lean) normally aspirated 14.2:1
.875mv Max power normally aspirated 13.5:1
.900mv Max power (Rich) (NOS, Blower, Turbo) 13.2:1
1.000v Very rich 12.5:1

You can go to the track recorder, pick the o2's as two of your gauges and go for a spirited drive or at least a quick wot. Then you can look at the vid to determine where youre air fuel ratio is based on the o2's. Ive compared the reading to my wide band gauge and theyre spot on.

C5Natie

The Pro version reads misfires and timing. Also download the plugin "Knock Detector". Its free and will automatically show up on the Torque App. You just go full throttle and it will scan for any knock or detonation while also showing coolant and intake temps.

Happy to hear the app is working well for you.

Chicago1

Cool thanks for the tip. I downloaded the app this am and drove teh car to work. Hopefully on my break I can mess with it. Going to check out the forum also. This thing is great!!! More people should know about it thanks again for everything.

Hey C5Natie,

I've had Torque for awhile (used it with my old car, an RX-8). I hooked it up over this weekend to my '02 C5 Z06 and I'm not getting any readings for knock, or the front O2's like you are and I'd really like to get to those.

Did you have to do anything special to configure to get Torque to work with your 'vette? Any special configurations or settings?

Thanks for the videos and the post, they were really helpful.

Chicago1

Download the plugin. As far as 02's your not seeing it cycle or not seeing it at all?

Neckhole

When you look in Torque, the available sensors (either on your car, or from your phone) show up in a greenish color and display their most recent value.

All of my O2's show up with the black background and through the Torque Scan plug-in, all say "No Data received" which makes me think that the something's goofy in my configuration.

It's been awhile since I data logged anything, but I'd like to data log knock if at all possible, will I be able to datalog knock if I get that additional plug-in? My experience with other cars makes me think that knock would be available out-of-the-box. The plug-in is free, so I'll grab it. It can't hurt


For what it's worth, my adapter is the PLX Kiwi Bluetooth
