Evosport is pleased to offer the Nology PDA Dyno for most OBDII automobiles. The PDA Dyno attaches to your own PDA (Palm, Handspring Visor, Sony Clié) to the cars OBD II connector under the dash using the supplied OBD II compliant cable (supports cars 1996 and newer). Once attached, your PDA is transformed into a data aquisition system that is able to do a variety of tasks; including dynoing your car! The PDA Dyno normally sells for $348.50 plus $30 for an in-car mount, however we are pleased to offer both items together on sale for the introductory price of $340!

Functioning as a data logger, your PDA is able to obtain accurate 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times, as well as calculate hp and torque on a dyno chart with results within 1% accuracy. These calculations are mathematically computed based on a few parameters (vehicle weight, barometric pressure, temperature, coefficient of drag, and gear ratio), which while reading the car's acceleration and RPM's, allows realtime dyno charts to be calculated and graphed as well as later being transferred to your computer.

Additionally, the PDA Dyno functions as a Diagnostic Trouble Code scanner, and allows you to scan and clear check engine lights. All OBD II supplied data can be recorded and stored. Record all data during a road-race, or record your cars gas mileage (mpg) for a specific trip.-- A standard 8 MB PDA can hold hours of driving data (depending on free memory space).

Product support includes a 1 year limited warranty and life-time software upgrades. Remember Neither Evosport nor Nology supports street racing. Obey all laws when using the PDA-Dyno. The PDA-Dyno is not intended for street use. Use only in designated areas, closed courses and racetracks. Use the PDA-Dyno with caution and emphasis on safety. Do not operate the PDA-Dyno™ while driving. Don’t take your eyes of the road.

Below are some of the important functions of the PDA Dyno:


---------------------
Dyno Setup Screen

Dyno Setup Used On Run This shows the Dyno Setup parameters used on a run. Parameters such as vehicle weight, elevation and humidity are all saved at the time the run was performed. Get current weather conditions in your area here . Get vehicle data here.
File – file name.
Weight – weight of the vehicle including passengers.
Gear Ratio – the overall gear ratio of the vehicle, which includes transmission and axle.
Tire Diameter – the vehicle tire diameter.
Temp – current outside temperature.
Elevation – current elevation.
Humidity – current outside humidity.
Pressure– current outside altimeter pressure available here. Altimeter pressure is different than barometric pressure.
Drag – drag coefficient of vehicle. Available data here.
Frontal Area – frontal area of vehicle. Available data here.
Note – an optional text note.

---------------------
Gear Ratio Setup Screen

The Gear Ratio screen measures the overall gear ratio of the vehicle and computes a tire diameter.
Tire Diameter
Most car tire sizes are listed as width, ratio, and rim diameter (e.g. 205/65 R15). Enter the tire size using the Width, Ratio, and Rim Dia drop down lists. .
Measuring Overall Gear Ratio
The overall gear ratio is a combination of the transmission and the final drive gear ratio and tire size.
The Status field lists the current status of the gear ratio run, either:
Idle – no data is being gathered.
Countdown to Start – shows seconds until data collection begins.
Collecting Data – vehicle data is being recorded.

---------------------
Power vs. Torque Screen

The Power vs. Torque screen analyzes data gathered from a vehicle run. The graph shows horsepower/torque over engine RPM. Vertical axis 1 shows power from 0 to 500 HP. Vertical axis 2 shows torque from 0 to 500 torque. Horizontal axis shows engine RPM from 1000 to 11000.
The graph control support many features such as zoom and scroll.
The Run button is for starting a dyno run. The Stats button shows horsepower and torque statistics.

---------------------
Acceleration Statistics

The Acceleration Statistics screen computes times and horsepower values based upon how fast the vehicle accelerates.
File – Acceleration run file name.
Top Speed – maximum speed achieved during the run.
0 to 60 Time – how fast in seconds the vehicle traveled from 0 to 60 MPH.
1/8 Mile Speed – how fast at the 1/8-mile mark.
1/8 Mile Time – time in seconds, the vehicle traveled a 1/8-mile.
1/4 Mile Speed – how fast at the 1/4-mile mark.
1/4 Mile Time – time in seconds, the vehicle traveled a 1/4-mile.
1/4 Mile HP – a rough calculation of horsepower based strictly on 1/4-mile time and vehicle weight.
N/A will be displayed in a column if the vehicle didn’t travel far enough to compute the statistic.

 

---------------------
Fuel Economy

The Fuel Economy screen computes instantaneous and trip MPG. One other sensor can also be monitored along with Fuel Economy.
Pressing the Trip button toggles the Miles Per Gallon view between instantaneous mode and trip mode.
The fuel economy feature is only available on vehicles equipped with a mass airflow sensor (MAF). The Sensor Select screen has a list of sensors supported by your vehicle.

---------------------
Graph/Dual Graph


Graph - displays real-time sensor measurements in a graphical format. A large trace buffer, pause, and zoom make analyzing data a breeze.

All live data screens can record and playback data obtained from the vehicle. 0.5MB of Palm RAM will store approximately 1 hour of recording at the fastest sample rate.

Slide a marker around with the stylus to get an exact data point anywhere on the graph.

---------------------
Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Diagnostic Trouble Codes - displays the pending and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). If the vehicle’s Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light on the instrument panel is illuminated, a Stored DTC will be displayed. Pending DTC’s do not necessarily indicate a faulty component/system. If the vehicles test results indicate a failure after additional driving, then the Check Engine light will be illuminated and a DTC will be set in the stored DTC’s column.

---------------------
DTC Lookup

DTC Lookup - tap a DTC to show a textual description of a numeric trouble code.

---------------------
DTC Freeze Frame Log

Freeze Frame - displays the vehicle's freeze frame log. When a Diagnostic Trouble Code occurs that illuminates the Check Engine light, the vehicle’s computer saves the current values of the vehicle sensors at the moment the error occurred.

---------------------
Live Data Meter

Meter - displays real-time sensor reading from the vehicle in large, easy-to-read numbers at a distance. Up to two sensors can be monitored simultaneously.

---------------------
[u}Sensor Select[/u]

Sensor Select - this dialog displays when the Edit... button is pressed to provide sensor selection, units of measure, and polling speed among other things.

---------------------
Real Time Sensor Monitoring

Displays real-time sensor reading from the vehicle in list format. Up to five sensors can be monitored simultaneously.

---------------------
Oxygen Sensor Results

Oxygen Sensor - displays the vehicle’s oxygen sensor test results. Not all test values are applicable to all vehicles. Therefore, the list generated varies depending on vehicle.

 

Many of the above features may rarely be used by most individuals, but the dyno function is something I will be using every day! With the PDA-Dyno, you can verify firsthand whether the upgrades you purchase deliver the gains promised; and you won't have to pay for dyno time. For a limited time, you can purchase the PDA-Dyno with Mag-Mount for the introductory price of $340 (almost a $40 savings). If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask!

Thanks,
Ben

 

Do you have software/hardware that works with a laptop? I have a very old Palm PDA, not sure if it would work. Dont want to buy another. Thanks

 

Can someone give me a dyno test once they get one?!!!
I don't have a palm PDA

 

20 dalla

 

The nology system doesn't work on my 03 CL55. My car must have a CAN ODBII system.

 

BRAV

how about $15?! are you near me?

 

I'd do it for a cup of coffee.. but I dont have the gear yet. I guess I can just get a regular OBD2 setup.

 

sounds good! BRAV

where are you located?

 

Currently in city of Orange. Moving to Irvine in about 2 weeks tho.

 

Oh, 1.5 hour drive... 60 miles.. gas $$ + time =!!!!! Just kidding. Yeah, totally appreciate it! If I am ever heading down that way. I will contact you. Please let me know when you get the gear and how it works! Thanks
