What can I do with a Datalogger?

Ever seen a dealer mechanic plug a handheld computer into your car while you had the car in for service? Anything that mechanic can do with the factory diagnostic unit you can do with the OBDlogger - and much much more! Not only can you see a display of the current sensor and actuator values, you can plot the values on a live scrolling chart. You can also save a continuous stream of data to your PDA for later analysis.

The Datalogger makes a great diagnostic tool. Tracking down faulty or intermittent sensors using a voltmeter can be very frustrating. Most of the time you cannot check sensor values when the engine is running - and even if you can, how can you be sure the ECU doesn't have a bad connection buried deep somewhere in the wiring harness? The Datalogger lets you see exactly what the ECU is seeing.

Ever suspected you had a misfire, but couldn't figure out which cylinder was causing the problem? Our 1G Datalogger also allows you to shut off one injector at a time - while the engine is running! In this manner, you can easily perform a cylinder balance test. You can also actuate all the solenoids as well as cycle the fuel pump relay.

Datalogging

Engine tuning is where the Datalogger really shines. How much is timing being retarded at wide-open-throttle? Am I getting a lot of knock (knock is 1G only) around 5000 RPM? How close am I to maxing out my injectors? The Datalogger answers these questions, and more.

It is often difficult for home mechanics to tune their cars - most of the time, the only tools that are available are an oxygen sensor meter and the seat of their pants. Using only these tools they could never be certain that what they had done to the car was fully optimized unless they paid for expensive time on a dyno. The Datalogger provides an affordable alternative to dyno testing by maximizing your setup with the insight this kit provides. Don’t tune your engine blind. Knowledge in tuning produces POWER.

Datalogger specifications:

• Factory scan tool emulation
  • Display and clear the CHECK ENGINE DTC’s (diagnostic troublecodes)

Sensor Display

• RPM
• Timing Advance/Retard
• O2 Sensor
• Short Term Fuel Trim
• Long Term Fuel Trim
• Air Intake Temperature
• Air Flow
• Coolant Temperature
• Throttle Position
• MPH
• Load
• Knock Sum(1G only)

1G can also:

• Turn on/off each of the actuators:
  • Injectors
  • Fuel pump relay
  • Purge solenoid
  • Fuel pressure solenoid
  • Wastegate solenoid
• Datalogging
  • Can log all of the above factory data plus much much more - for example...
    • Fuel trims
    • Knock sensor (1G)
    • Air volume
    • Acceleration enrichment
  • Typically achieves 50-75 samples per second for 1G, (OBDII is about 12-20 samples) depending on computer speed and RPM (as RPMs increase, the ECU has less time to respond due to time spent firing the coils and injectors)
  • Sophisticated charting tool, including live data scrolling graphs  

  

• ECU Compatibility
  • No ECU modifications necessary
  • Works with any stock factory ECU
  • Works with  EPROM modifications or Flashed ECU’s
  • Also works with HKS's VPC & Apexi AFC or EFI's PMS. Some sensor values may not reflect their true values since both of these units "fool" the factory ECU into behaving a certain way by modifying some of the true sensor values.
  • PLUG & PLAY!
