anyone with a dasdaq know how to get hp reading?
and why is there no entertainment option in the menu like there is supposed to be? and why is there no boost sensor? i ordered gm enhanced stuff, but it doesnt seem like i got it

 

To get the hp you will need to take the absolute pressure and subtract the outside barometric pressure using the dashdaq scaling feature......

For the entertainment you may need to re-flash your unit... there is only so much internal memory so many times it is an option that is not installed as part of the default. You will probably need to give so things up in order to make room for it...

The gm enhance stuff will also require a re-flash... the end of your manual (see your install cd) will step you through upgrading your unit. Follow the instructions exactly and you will have no problems...

 

Fixed that for ya, as for the hp output you'll need to include the hp calculator when you update the firmware.
Make sure you get the latest firmware through the update tool.

 

i figured it out, gm features where installed already, just needed to add them. I think ill just use my ipod touch for the multimedia, im mounthing them both in there.

Can i cut off the can connecter off on obd cable and wire in 2 cables going to 2 diff things, (dashdaq and elmcan) onto one can connector, i dont see why it wouldnt work, unless there is some kind of interferance cross talk type junk.

 

never tried that one... I would put in a call to Drew technologies before cutting anything...

 

can u walk me threw where to go to do the boost thing?

ok i finally got this stuff figured out, now does any one know how to get a real a/f ratio signal instead of raw voltage? formula or whatnot

 

well I for the A/F ratio I used the lambda and multiplied by 14.7 using the scaling feature... There is a section in the rear of the manual that gives and example of calculating boost... You can use the same application for the A/F ratio... For your torque there is actually a calculator. All you have to do is scroll through your signal options until you come to the calculators... Correlate the proper sensors (it will ask for certain inputs) and your done....

Pretty much everything you need will either under general parameters, calculators, or scaling....

I think that I had to add my scaling parameter as an option... basically I chose an open parameter (something like parameter d - which was unassigned) and assigned it the scaling parameter. I then programmed whatever I wanted into the scaling option... It will walk you through the scaling features...

If you still have questions, let me know and I will look at my unit more closely tomorrow and answer them....

 

ya i did the hp/tq thing in the book and used the sensors they told me, but im reading like 150 of both when i give her, that doesnt seem right at all. why is the numbers so far off, i cant even get over 200. how do i adjust that? im attempting to do the a/f ratio, ill let u know how it goes

with a/f ratio, what input did u use as the offset?

 

When you are setting up the rescale signal calc you use the offset from the same calculator. For example: touch the "offset signal" and browse back to the same calculator and choose the offset signal. Then make sure the offset value is set to 0. You do the same for the multiplier signal (except set it to 14.7). It's a bit confusing and took me a while to figure it out. I don't think the manual explains it very well. basically you have to have a signal selected for each input or the calculator won't work.

As for the hp I get the same thing. Most I can get it to is like 150 which I know is not right. I'm a bit disappointed in that feature myself, but it could be I don't know how to use it right.

 

Guys for your hp keep in mind that you will not see dyno numbers... What you will see is 'at the wheel numbers' which will look pretty low... while 150 is low... On a STi we recorded about 215 hp and on my tuned Coby we saw about 230.... The 215 hp on the STi was consistent with the research pulled for 'wheel hp' on the stock STi (stock hp = 296), so I know the system is reading correctly.... Basically there will be a correction factor that you will need to determine to get your 'hp' numbers... In my case 230 ~ 310 hp....this matches very well with other dyno numbers using the same tune.

btw... xray...let me know when you are coming to miller... I live about 5 mins away ...perhaps we could meet up.....

 

Will do! Prly not for another month or two though. I'm looking at August 15 open track day most likely. But if I can round up $$ I may go sooner. I'm torn between buying parts and saving money for the track. lol

 

i dont quite understand u here. u saying we are only getting around 150ish to the wheels and thats why its saying that low, i know i had a performance computer, and sure it did also have a gsensor, and i was getting 169 hp readings, and it worked the same way this one does with speed and rpm, so how can 150hp car with some mods read 169 and a 260hp car read 150? makes no sense, but ill play with it see what i can find.
