Has anyone else tried it?would be cool to see some people post up their resultsI have been playing with the software lately, it calculates power based on info about your car and data logged during a WOT pull. It is surprisingly accurate.https://innovativetuning.wordpress.com/our-experiments-with-virtual-dyno/In my 240 I am using the built in logging function of the nismotronic ecu which I set up to automatically record a log when the tps is between 75-100%. These logs are exported as a csv (spreadsheet) file and can be read by virtual dyno.I just picked up a bluetooth obdlink data scanner and will do a run with my mazda 6, if your car is 1996 or newer you should be able to record a log like this.(red line is the first pull using the same fuel tables and settings from the phantasm tune file, blue line is after i adjusted the fuel tables in the high load areas)

12:1 F that 11:1 mess [Edited on February 11, 2015 at 8:32 PM. Reason : the SR or RB?]

I've played around with it. You have to make sure the conditions you set in it are right, and you use clean datalogs. It can be manipulated of course, but as people point out, it works on the same principle as an inertia dyno. That's close enough for what most people want to do.I don't put a whole lot of stock in the numbers per se, same with inertia dynos in general (typical dynojet), but for before&after comparison and general adjusting of torque & power curve it's useful.

this is with the sr car(tried to log a run in my mazda but the csv file didn't compile correctly)going to try different software soon

so I have been tweaking fuel map slightly and making more power... and now I have a new problem. I'm spinning tires in 3rd as soon as it hits boost throws off the calculations a bit I need fatter tires [Edited on February 14, 2015 at 11:15 AM. Reason : .]

Just mounted this bad boy in the car so I can switch maps and log in virtual dyno on the go This thing is awesome..full windows 8.1 in a 8in tablet
