SCT Livewire

mustang_jim85 · September 11th, 2008, 10:22 AM

I was wondering if anyone knew about how accurate the hp/tq calculator is on the livewire

WLJohnson05 · September 11th, 2008, 12:40 PM

its prolly gonna be based on ideal conditions which i doubt you are in 24/7 so it wont be dead on, but it can prolly give you a ballpark idea

Yea I figured that much. I wasn't really expecting to get dyno numbers or anything. I was just curious. I'm plannin on goin and makin a few runs after work td. I'll post my averages if anyone wants to know lol

Youngin · September 11th, 2008, 01:09 PM

how is the livewire tho bro.. i wanted one but i didnt see it was worth 200$ more but now i just want it and have it mounted lol anything else different then the fact it gives you est hp/tq ?

mustang_jim85 · September 11th, 2008, 01:22 PM

You can Est. 0-60 and 1/4. Also being able to monitor a lot of different data in real time. I love the thing. Its so easy to use. Its the first handheld I've ever used so I'm still gettin to know it lol I got my rebate from the government and just said what the hell and bought the livewire and my udp's for 650 or somethin like that. It was a good decision IMO

v6_armyguy · September 11th, 2008, 01:54 PM

I love mine. i love the shift light on it. and its looks good mounted on the dash

Youngin · September 11th, 2008, 02:01 PM

my xcal isnt doing to great =(

mustang_jim85 · September 11th, 2008, 02:15 PM

Yea the livewire is def sexy. And yea the shift light is a great feature also the alert lights you can setup

ESG-642T · September 11th, 2008, 02:37 PM

Its about as accurate as the websites online that give you lottery numbers....

mustang_jim85 · September 11th, 2008, 03:02 PM

Well it'll have to do til I can find a dyno around here

ESG-642T · September 11th, 2008, 05:39 PM

Its not close at all...

Seriously

mustang_jim85 · September 12th, 2008, 01:04 AM

Wether its accurate or not its still fun to play around with lol

ESG-642T · September 12th, 2008, 02:30 AM

If fun to you is looking at numbers that are 99.99999999% wrong.

Try putting the correct weight in, its actually not that off. I saw a guy with a GTech do a quartle my run on an actual drag strip and it was within a few tenths, also did dyno runs in almost the same manner, and the graphs and numbers were fairly similiar. I don't see the livewires technology being any different.

mustang_jim85 · September 12th, 2008, 11:17 AM

The fact is I like my livewire. Some people might not but I do. And I feel its worth the money cuz after I get my sc put in I'll be able to use it as a fully functional gauge. So if you don't like the livewire or think its accurate that's fine. Its not really gonna affect my decisions whatsoever

ESG-642T · September 12th, 2008, 02:10 PM

Even with exact weight its not close...

I could really care less if I change your mind, just telling you the truth. After you get your s/c put in you still have to buy a wideband and a map sensor for it to read boost and a/f. Which ends up being the same cost as buying normal gauges.

mustang_jim85 · September 12th, 2008, 02:40 PM

I'm just saying I like my livewire. Its what I've decided to use. If its not accurate at all than its not accurate that doesn't stop it from being a very useful piece of equipment. And yea I know I have to buy a few other things to run it with my sc when I get it all setup and everything. Its just what I like and want. To each his own.
