Re: The official "anything dash hawk" thread

Actually have any of you changed the start up screen for your hawk? I read somewhere that you can change it, but I haven't figured out how to do it... nor have i gone back to try.

Re: The official "anything dash hawk" thread

I did, its in one of the menus. theres a 3 lcd color bar slider than you can mix and match RED,BLUE,GREEN to get what ever color choice you want. I switched mine to red, but for some reason the red is only visable when viewed directly from the front. The preselected blue is a pretty decent choice actually. I wanted red though, so I just put the dashhawk in front of my gauges, (pics on previous page)

Re: The official "anything dash hawk" thread

I already did that mines, red as well. what i was asking, is I read someplace that you can creat a splash screen or in other words when it starts up instead of seeing the dashhawk logo you can display some other type of art image such as a pontiac logo. I haven't gone back to see how it's done but i did read that someplace..... I think.

here I did a vid of how to change the color of the LCD display for the dashhawk. sorry, the quality came out kinda crappy for some reason.

*************************************************

I know I posted a seperate thread about my 1/4 mile times, but I'll just add the recap here for proof

well I did a couple of runs with my dashhawk tonight and all I can say is WOW! If the dashhawk is as accurate as they are supposed to be then holy cow!

my best run was a 15.23 @92.5mph with a reaction time of .66 secs @ ambient air temp of 50F
and my second best was a 15.43 @91.0mph with a reaction time of .59secs @ ambient air temp of 51F

if and I mean IF, dashhawk is as accurate as they claim, (within 2/10s of a sec) then my base g6 with v6 option, lx9 201hp, went from a stock 16.2 sec 1/4 mile down to a 15.2 1/4 with a variable range from 15.0 to 15.4 1/4. And all I got is a 93octane vector tune, a quality made crab intake, and a magnaflow exhaust. I'm still having some problems getting good traction at launch, I'm thinking if I put on a set of summer performance tires, I might be able to hit 15.0 or even break into the 14's.



My best run

Re: The official "anything dash hawk" thread

well i just read though and saw this
ill try to answer these as an active Tech 2 user but i dont have a dash hawk

I answered a few that i remember on the functions.

# of trouble codes - self explanitory
calculated load- ???
engine coolant temp - self explanitory
short term fuel bank 1 - ???how much fuel is being supplied for the short term for bank 1
long term fuel bank 1 - ???same as above just for the long term
short term fuel bank 2 - ???same as the first but for bank 2
long term fuel bank 2 - ???same as the second but bank 2
(map) manifold abs pressure - ???should be the ammount of vaccume the intake has
engine rpm - self explanatory
vehicle speed - self explanatory
timming advance - Timing advance in degrees
intake air temp - self explanatory
mass air flow - I understand what it is, but whats a good number and whats a bad number?
abs throttle position - Throttle plate position. 0 = closed 100 = fully open
number of 02 sensors - ???should be 3 or 4 (2 pre cats and 2 post cats (i think he have 2 cats)
02 bank 1 sensor 1 - ??? pre cat o2 sensor. most likley will have a number fluctuating past .450 mvwhich is where your engine runs best. normal range is between .200mv to .800mv can be a bit more could be less
02 bank 1 sensor 2 - ???post cat 02 sensor will be a number right around.450mv it should not be fluctuating a very large amout as the cat should even out the o2 level in the exhust at that point
02 bank 2 sensor 1 - ???same as bank 1 pre cat
02 bank 2 sensor 2 - ???same as bank 1 post cat
engine run time - how long the motor has been running.
mil on distance - How far you've driven with an SES light
cmd egr duty cycle - ???how open the EGR valve
fuel level - how much gas you've got
warm up counts - ???number of times the engine has met the criteria for a warm up cycle (probly after a code clears
dst since codes clear - how far you have driven since last trouble code cleared
evap vapor purge - ??? If I recall correctly this is for the evap pressure in the system ( ie your gas tank, gas cap, etc.... it runs on an open and closed loop so the numbers will fluctuate from negatives to positives)most likly displays weather the system is purging(burning) the captured fuel vapors
barometric pressure - self exlpantory
absolute load - Load on engine. Idle = lower number
module voltage - ???
cmd equiv ratio - ???
rel throttle post - ???
cat temp bank 1 sensor 1 - Exhaust temp Sensor 1 (Pre cat?)
cat temp bank 1 sensor 2 - Exhaust temp Sensor 2 (Post cat?)
ambient air temp - outside air temp
abs throttle position B - ??? - I think it's how far you are pressing the gas pedal or throttle
abs pedal position D - ???
abs pedal position E - ???
cmd throttle actuator - ???

again i dont have a dash hawk but i added to it knowing what most of those terms mean in Tech 2 lingo

Re: The official "anything dash hawk" thread

today was the first time i used my DH 1/4 mile run. my best out of two runs was 14.3 @ 96.3mph and .89 reaction time. the first run i got was 14.42.

interesting. That is about what a gtp is supposed to run, so that might mean that my time of 15.2 using the dashhawk could actually be pretty accurate.

Re: The official "anything dash hawk" thread

thank ahuhn for a few of the explainations! The o2 sensors is a huge help, since I really wanted to check the output numbers and make sure everything is ok.

if i'm not mistaken, the sea level quarter mile was around a 14.5...
edmunds says 14.8 at 95.9

Motortrend
0-60 mph @ 6.2 sec
1/4 mi @ 14.4 & 96.4 mpg


my 06 with a 6speed MT ran a 15.6 with a .2something reaction time at 5000ft elevation (about 14.7 at sea level according to NHRA conversion chart)

So where the heck is the UPS guy? I found the FedEx and DHL guys.

I want my DashHawk.

my GTP is modded though. that is a shitty time. my reaction time was horrible.

Re: The official "anything dash hawk" thread

So I've been doing some testing over the last 3 days watching my intake air temp in regards to heat soak. Even though I have wrapped the entire intake except for the MAF sensor I am still getting some serious heat soak.

when the outside air temp according to the DIC was 81-88F I saw intake air temp that ranged from 85F up to 135F. It would vary a little, but for the most part it stayed closer to 130-135F. Meaning a heatsoak of 50F. I noticed a huge drop in performance and MPG during that time.

when the outside air temp was about 70-72F, I saw intake air temp that ranged from 74-90F. Again it would vary a little but stayed pretty much at 88-90F. Meaning a heatsoak of roughly 20F. I still noticed a drop in performance and mpg, but not to the same extent as when the outside air temp was 81-88F.

It really seams like once the outside air temp goes over 70F is when I start noticing the large amount of heatsoak. Based upon this, I'm gonna say that the MAF sensor really needs to be insulated from the radiant heat being developed from the engine bay.

No, yo're lying. The UPS guy just handed it to me. Yippee. Now just gotta get the headlights back in.

Then go PLAY.

That isn't a shitty time, I got a 14.25 at the track. What mods do you have? Reaction time doesn't affect ET, BTW. :Ray:

well he has the 06 gtp sedan with the 3.9 and 4spd auto, so I'd say thats pretty good, considering the 6spds with the 3.9 have run a 14.3 at a dragstrip.
