New G-Meter Displays We’ve added four new ways for the Performance Computer to display G-Forces. G-METER OPTION 10: G-FORCE GRAPH In this example, the small number shows that the current cornering G-Force is .79 G, and the large number shows that the peak skidpad reading in the last seven seconds was .95 G. G-METER OPTION 9: SKIDPAD Press and release the G-METER button as necessary to select “G-METER OPTION 9.
G-METER OPTION 11: 2-AXIS GRAPHS G-METER OPTION 12: 2-AXIS W/ PEAKS Press and release the G-METER button as necessary to select “G-METER OPTION 11.” The car is decelerating at .50 G. Note: This “moving chart” display will be easier to understand after you try it in your vehicle. Press and release the G-METER button as necessary to select “G-METER OPTION 12.” The car is decelerating at .50 G. Note: This “moving chart” display will be easier to understand after you try it in your vehicle.
Other New Features We’ve made refinements and improvements to several features of the Performance Computer. EASIER-TO-READ DISPLAYS HORSEPOWER CALCULATION Vehicle Weight: The default vehicle weight (used for horsepower calculation) is now 3500 lb. (In metric mode, it is 1600kg.) We’ve improved the accuracy of the engine horsepower calculations of the Performance Computer. Brake Test: The brake test feature is now normally ON.
Setup for Metric use You can now setup your Performance Computer for US or Metric units, and calculate engine power in HP, PS (metric horsepower) or KW (kilowatts). STEP 1: Enter the Metric Setup 1 IMPORTANT NOTE: Changing any of these settings erases all saved run results and any personal settings the user has programmed, such as vehicle weight, etc., so this configuration is best done before first using the Performance Computer. 2 Hold the G-METER button for 15 seconds.
Differences in Metric There are many detail differences between the US and Metric modes. We’ll review the differences here. • Speed is measured in kph. • Vehicle weight is measured in kg, and the default weight is 1600 kg. You can adjust this in the setup mode.
