Thread: Best way to measure KR

You have to add the Custom PID for GM or else you cannot monitor kr.

works fine for me, i paid the whole 5 bucks for the app.

Pay for Torque! It's probably one of the best android apps I've ever purchased. It works as it should, reports exactly what you're pcm is seeing. Set up only the things you need to monitor as too many pid's can slow it down. Using an old phone dedicated for the purpose is a nice touch too, simple and cheap multi-gauge! It'll also clear trouble codes but be advised, that will reset drive cycle test so don't think you can clear codes and pass an inspection say... Anyways, I've used it for some time and even compared it to direct gauge reads and is spot on.

Good Luck!

What is it on a normal day? If it's more than 0 you need to either pulley up or do more flow mods. I find it very hard to believe that you only see that much kr with pretty much no mods and a 3.3 pulley.

Inb4 ZZP canned tune with 5 degrees WOT timing.

Sometimes it takes a while, I have had to delete and reinstall, turn the phone off and back on, reset and all sorts of things to get it to work at times when I first got it. It will not show KR and any of the normal functions like engine temp or timing. I have KR on one page and everything else on another. When I switch between pages it has to change so it takes about 30-60 seconds to reconnect. I use the phone for work and it's the only app on the phone. I like the app but I've had issues like that all along. It hasn't been a deal breaker, after all where else can you scan for codes, read live data and clear codes for less than $30?

It sounds like an issue with either the phone or the adapter to me. My first android would only work if I loaded a custom rom with updated bluetooth drivers.

KR should be in the free version.

Sorta off topic, but does anything like Torq exist for us poor iPhone sheep?

Only one I found was Rev, but its like $40, and it doesn't work very well from everything I have read. http://www.devtoaster.com/products/rev/

No I ended up getting a new phone from work and I use my iPhone for everything else. Not a fan of the android phones but it works with the app. I have seen one at Hi Lo that is supposed to work with the iPhone, it's made by Bosch and runs $99, but I already had the app and a BAFX adapter. Beware of the cheap eBay elm327's they are hit or miss. I purchased one that one of the guys recommended and it works with everything but GM.
