torque pro

Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

I have a similar problem. I have the kr widget up, and it reads 0.0 always. I dont know whether my car is KR free, which is unlikely, or if it isnt reading correctly.

As for furthering mods, I would install colder spark plugs, 180 tstat, a downpipe, and tune before dropping pulley sizes. Try checking out the Common Mod Questions thread, it should answer some questions you may have.

First, go to the Google Playstore and download the torque scan plug-in for the app. It allows you to read more parameters, I believe.

Then, follow this
Settings > Manage Extra PIDs > Menu: Add predefined Set > "Pontiac / GM / Opel / Vauxhall"

You should find that there is KR, among many other predefined sets in this list. It should be good to go at this point, go ahead and place a KR gauge on your screen.

what else do you need for the app to work? A cable or plug-in to the car?

You need a $15 ebay bluetooth OBD adapter.

Torque pro reads knock retard on my car. It doesn't seem to log it though so for it to show any knock retard you have to make it happen. Stand on that skinny pedal and see what she does.
