Default EASE Torque Question

The EASE scanner program has a parameter which "measures" flywheel torque as the PCM sees it. This is a smaller amount than the dyno measures, after correcting for losses from flywheel to rear wheel. Is it because the car weight is not considered correcly on the dyno, or what? Any thoughts on this? I think this could be a very helpful tuning parameter if used at first as a baseline and then checked after each mod.

The PCM actually does calculate Torque in ft/lbs, the EASE scanner is just reading that value. I'll double check but I believe this value is calculated from load (gm/s of air flow) and RPM.

Vettepartz and Godspeed, I just got EASE a few weeks ago, but have only run a few simple test runs to see what data comes out.

How do you guys like it? I have my tranny shifting pretty good now using LS1_Edit and am now ready to tackle loftier heights. I want to collect some data at the 1/8 mile track later and maybe do so Friday.

I really like the way my EASE program works. I used to be an AutoTap owner, but found it was just too darn slow in reporting the values. EASE appears to be much faster, and it has the capability to do the IM tests for emissions which looks like the wave of the future.
One thing, when you "Scan A New Vehicle" be sure to put in ALL the info you can, including VIN, so the program will allow you to use all the parameters available for that car. Good Luck.

John, what parameter (acronym) does EASE use to display torque? I quickly looked through it last night and did not find anything.

Thanks!

It is an acronym for "Delivered Torque" and I believe it is "DELTQ". I am at work and don't have my program with me, so that is the best I can remember for now.

As I understand, this is a value computed by the PCM for the amount of torque AT THE FLYWHEEL, and is prolly different than a dyno would see.
