I was checking out cars.com and they have the 2016 Hyundai veloster turbo with the 7 speed dual clutch transmission for sale and under where it says standard equipment it says manufacturers 0-60mph acceleration time (seconds) : 7.7 s and on the 2015 veloster turbo with the 6 speed automatic it says 7.2 seconds and for the 2015 manual transmission it says 7.1 seconds, on cars.com I also checked out the manufacturers time for the 2015 kia forte koup sx 6 speed automatic it says 6.6 seconds and for the manual transmission it says 7.1 seconds. Are the manufactures 0-60 acceleration times correct ?

I had my gf time me with my phone, and with 82f and high humidity I did 7.2 0-60 today.

I tried using one of those GPS apps and did three pulls before that one, but it was way off. Probably had some heat soak for the manually timed run.

That's pretty bad it's that much slower. That means our car stock would pull on a vt

is your car a automatic or a manual ?

my koup sx is a automatic 0 to 60 @ 6.6 seconds according to the manufacturers 0-60 acceleration times . I don't know how accurate manufacturers 0 to 60 times are though

Go find a VT and see the outcome lol!

I have an auto. Like I said, I did 3 runs right before, so IC was probably heat soaked, and had my girl in the car with me. All you need is a stopwatch to get your own time.

Stop watch will get you close but will always be off from human error and reaction times. Torque App does a decent job since it is calculated directly from the speed sensor and no need for a second person in the car.

How do you use the torque app ? Can you use your smart phone ?

Android phone and a bluetooth obd2 adapter. Download the app and setup the connection and vehicle and monitor anything you want (almost).

Also have to get the Kia plug in.

what octane gas do you use ? a lot of people on this forum use 93 octane including my self and my car feels quicker now then when I was using 87 octane

 

[CrypTech]

I was using 91

I will have to try the torque app. I haven't used it yet for these types of tests. Only downfall with me being A/T is if I try to brake boost it will cut power. It will let me get close but won't let me build any

Something else for John and James to work on. I know I am missing out on a lot not being tuned but I will still wait till it is more developed and refined like with a handheld that can have files updated and then flashed to the ECU. Not a fan of pulling the ECU for 4-5 days and being down a car.

93 is available in the area that I've seen, so I've been using 91.

Same.

If the ability to flash at home was available, even with the use of a laptop, I of been tuned a long time ago. I need my car on a daily basis.

That's why I have a spare ecu. Simple easy and car isn't down anymore.

Where did you get your spare and for how much?
