Dashhawk owners- help please

[wreckwriter]

Hey guys, I need a small assist here please. Would someone with a Dashhawk please set a parameter for trans temp (GM Specific/sensors/trans temp) and see what readings you are getting with the car warm and being run fairly hard.

Thanks!

I will check it tonite Tom. I will be doing some logging so we all know what effects the headers have on the ECM.

[wreckwriter]

thanks Charlie. Our ambient temps should be similar. please be sure to do a few launches to 2 nd gear shift to "warm" it up good.

Tire smokin, ball rippin, sideways through the gears?

[wreckwriter]

Sideways isn't required http://forum.grrrr8.net/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I have been busy today, but on the way home I will change modes and check.

92C


thanks Ray. Now what is that in real temperature??

197. OK, that's about average for mine during hard running but it will get hotter. I think with the cooler in the radiator its going to be hard to keep it below coolant temp. Trans cooler coming with converter in about 2 weeks.

Drive a TBSS like me and you'll see 215*F on the highway on hot days!

And I don't have a torque converter! doh!

I do have a tranny cooler----sitting in my Garage! HA!

DashHawk says between 175F - 220F depending on, well you know.

I am doing the Yank 3200 also & have been advised to get a LPD (low pressure drop) cooler. About the same $ as standard finned coolers, but cools much better, when it needs to. http://performanceparts.com/part.php?partID=2904 Apparently the Yank 3200 is smaller than the stock converter and needs a good cooler.

Yes, yes it is. :)

"Zed"-R1 sounds so much better that "Zee"-R1.

where did you guys see the trans temp in the dashhawk???

I must be on drug. but i could not see trans temp anywhere in the dashhawk.

tell me please

GM specific/sensors I believe.

Go to Setup, GM options, PID temps, (I think), TRANS SUMP TEMP F. Maybe.....hell, I'm old...I can't remember sh*t! :p

I'm currently monitoring Intake air temp F
Engine coolant temp F
Engine oil temp F
And trannysump temp F

The Atari gage is fine for oil pressure... 3-4 bars + 35-55 psi.

If you scroll thru the CD that comes with the DHawk, 2 things will occur.

1 - You will be amazed at what that little bugger can tell you. (Way more than you ever want to know).
2 - You will soon find yourself with eyes unfocused off into space with the 1000 yd stare. Be careful here. My wife thought I was dead and almost called the coroner. :p

Thank you Gents very much.

You can also check trans temp in engineering mode, for those of us too cheap/poor to buy a dashhawk.

My wedding's in just over 2 weeks. I wonder if it's too late to set up a gift registry at Vector?

This is a handy little converter I use in the business. It's freeware and will convert just about anything including lightspeed to 0-60. :p

That's right. Josh Madison wrote it. I thought it was such a nice piece of freeware I sent Josh a contribution awhile back. When I find a truly useful shareware or freeware program, I often send them $.

Bill Gates gets millions of dollars for total crap and these guys give it away. They gotta have a reason to write more of the good stuff. Billy Gates sure won't.

Here in Microsoft land we respect Billy so much that the current price for his head on a platter is up to $843,292.19 and climbing. :p
Tax free of course!
