Well I recieved my PDA software and hardware for the AutoEnginuity Scan Tool today. Hooked it up, auto-found no dramas at all.

It can log Air temps, Ve, Timing, O2 sensor voltage, fuel usage etc etc.. Data logging can be exported ( table form ) to your pc to have a gander at..

Had a quick play this arvo and fairly impressed for AU$297

It has a Performance program with it aswell. I have run a 13.02 @ 113mph best so far with a 0-100 of 4.57 seconds.. .. Quick blat but it miiiiight just squeeze a 12, although I'm not holding my breath..

I'll hook it up and run down Kwinana next couple of weeks to see how accurate it is.

It also has a 'dyno' section where it can compute hp, not sure how accurate it is, but will be good for comparrisons..

With some more dabbling, should be able to get some graphs plotted with rpm vs timing vs air temp ( ambient and manifold ) to get some initeresting results and see what's going on in there....

Price, On the web-site it retails for $US229 PLUS $US39.95 for the CAN expansion ( necessary ) to communicate with our cars..

I got it from e-bay ( their own online shop ) for $US199 including the CAN expansion. Posted on my door in Perth in a week for AU$297.. :stirthepot:

It plugs into the OBDII port under your dash ( same spot as the Flasher unit ) and it 'talks' to the pcm to get reading from sensors on the car. O2 sensor, map sensor etc etc. Same as your dealer would do to get error codes etc..

This unit will read error codes, but will not clear them!!

It can read Volumetric Efficiency, boost no..

Just got onto there site.. supported sensors:

Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure

Seems like an excellent unit for 300 aussie. Good initiative for testing, and im sure a few more will adopt your thinking. Good stuff F6.

So I guess real-time PDA tuning of the PCM is just around the corner then eh? ;-)

No, it's not possible with the way the PCM/Memory is set up, with any sort of PC..

We 'look' at a different part of the pcm I think..

Would be nice though.. Hell, we can't even get the SCT 'tune at home' software.
