Thread: Beltronics Vector FX2

the datta logging cable seems nice... buy it...LOL (make you spend again)

Haha i know!

So after driving with this device, it's pretty cool, but I find it fairly hard to find enough open roads that are leveled to get some accurate numbers.

The problem is you have to be starting from a dead stop, and have to stand still for about 2 seconds before it finishes calibrating it self...

any findings with the device yet?...

Not much yet, still trying to calculate the right Frontal Area to get a good CDA

I tried to get the Beltronics to work right, but it only tracked 0-50 instead of 0-60...

Either way it said 0-50 was 7.35 seconds and 120 some WHP. Now this was with a bad start, I was turning, and the Vector starts counting as soon as you move hehe.

I reset my ScanGauge and it was showing 159 BHP at redline at 82*F intake air, so thats about 138WHP. Which sounds actually around my car should be making hehe.

Alright thought I would fill this thread in with some numbers

I did a run today after installing half of the thermoblock kit.

What was programmed into the Vector FX 2:
Car Weight: 2850 lbs (Thats 2617lbs stock, plus me and the tool shed in the trunk)
CDA: 8.00 Left this one at 8's for now, still need to figure out an accurate CDA

I think those two that are the only ones that really matter.
I first did a run with 3000lbs as the weight (that weight was setup for when I had a passenger with me the other day). Well I got 165WHP out of it. Now thats not correct because the weight was off etc.

After that I brought down the weight to 2850lbs and here are the numbers:
Power: 140WHP @ 55mph

Times (in Seconds):
0-70: 9.87
0-60: 7.37
0-50: 5.67
0-40: 4.20
0-30: 2.72
0-20: 1.65
0-10: 0.55


So as you can see there is a about a two second delay between 0-30 and 0-40; 0-50 and 0-60. This is when I was shifting. Improving the shifting and getting a short shifter might improve those times greatly.

Now as you can also see there is a 2 second difference between 0-60 and 0-70. There is probably two reasons why thats there. Either A: I started slowing down by then (which I highly thing is the case), or B: air drag became more severe at that time.
