Using Torque Android App on my Bonne

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

This is what I got, its got super duper neato flashy lights to make it look impressive to your buddies:

And of course, the one I really wanted to buy instead, I had found only after buying the above. >:( Its much lower profile, which is better for our bonnies due to the lousy placement of the port. I kept knocking mine off with my foot every time I had to operate the pedals.

I cannot find the exact link to the low-profile OBD dongle, but I found a similar one, which is still better compared to the popular ELM/ XITECH units:

Yes, you just need to buy the adapter and the $5 app.

After a week of using the torque scanner. Its still working great. I've been testing my KR everyday now. On WOT runs from a stop my highest KR was 2.1*. However one time I WOT from 35, and the car agressively downshifted from 3-1, and my KR spiked to 5.7*. I guessing false knock :dontknow: , and plus my front mount is bad. Also my intake temp ranges from 95*-120* is that good?

2000 SSEi 4th Pontiac!! 231,xxx Current mods: Gutted AirBox w/ K&N drop in. Cleared Corners. Future mods: 3.5 pulley, 180* tstat, hi flow cat, solid motor mounts, Red-Tinted Turn Signal Tails, Projector Headlights, Turn Signal Mirrors.

Bought the adapter for $21.99, and a 3.5" modular pulley system today. 'Tis going to be a fun week.
