Scangauge II 0-60 times

[ahtoxa]

How many of you guys have used SGII to measure your 0-60?

I did a few runs today and my fastest was 8.8 seconds which is a bit slow (6MT HB).

Weather: 60* and 91% humidity with very light drizzle. Roads were dry. Grip was fine.


Knowing that the 1.4T has been clocked at just under 8 sec on 0-60, could the high humidity have that much of an affect? I was also monitoring boost levels and found that they varied per run. Highest I got on one run was 18.5 PSI and highest on another run a minute apart was about 16.7 PSI.

For those that have used it, what were your times and do you think SGII is accurate enough?


EDIT: I did have to pause for just a split second with 1-2 shift to avoid the grind. Perhaps if I slammed second I'd gotten a bit quicker times.

I haven't messed with that function, maybe I will try it on the way home. Is it a X gauge or is it just part of the standard package. I will admit I haven't really used mine to it's full potential, boost, rpms, IA and instant mpg is all I really car about (and water temp every once in a while).

It's not part of the X-Gauge. From the main screen, if you go into Trips and then into Performance, that will engage the performance mode. You can choose which parameter you want to monitor, like boost, IAT, RMP, etc. Once you're ready, you press "ARM" when at full stop. Once you take off, it will start recording automatically. Back off once you get to 60, then hit the review data button. There are a few parameters that you need to define, based on what you want to view, because it'll give you your quarter times, 0-60 times, etc. It took me a bit of messing around to figure out how it worked.

Nice, it looks like I need to start digging into the gauges features a little more.

eh, the real world is the real world. Drop the temperature, spray the intercooler with something to cool it, prep your track, loose some weight and have like a gallon of gas. Do a few test runs and learn how to drive better.
