What's FMIC/SMIC and has anybody used G-Tech

[Loofer]

As the title suggests.

I've seen the abbreviations elsewhere. Would be intrested to know what they are.

Was snooping around on fleaBay and came across this device called G-Tech. Not something I would buy unless it was dirt cheap.

Its a small device that plugs into your ciggarette lighter socket and can apparently measure and display:

0-60 TIME

1/4 MILE TIME AND SPEED

CORNERING G'S

60-0 BRAKING

HORSEPOWER

Some models can even display
Torque
1/8 and 1/4 mile runs

Would be intresting to know how they compare to Dynos (taking into account they cost a fraction of the price so no one here is expecting the same functionality.
How accurate is it?
More importantly, I want to know how it measures it just by plugging into lighter socket. I would atleast expect it to be plugged into OBD.

Haven't used a G-Tech personally but a similar device did the rounds a couple of years ago and got quite accurate results in something like Max Power or Fast Car

G meter uses a device inside itself - I think it's gyroscopic, hence the "G" to measure. It just needs power to work I suppose.

So in thery does that mean as long as it has a power source, I could swing it aroun whilst holding it in my hand (or launch it at a brick wall) and it will tell me how much G/Torque/Power I can generate?

Cool

I don't think it'll be telling you much after you bounce it off a brick wall
