Hello everyone! I wanted to let you guys know about datalogging and how it can help you know what's going on in your car, help you diagnose problems, tell when someone is BSing you, etc!
First, get a OBD2 wireless reader. There are many, but I prefer this one, with Bluetooth capability for an Android Device.

Next, look up the Torque Pro App for android. It has Hyundai specific PIDs (data types) and it a great app for exporting the information into a spreadhseet.

Now, for those who hate making graphs in excel, there is an awesome free webiste that automatically turns your datalog into a nice chart that you can add/subtract data from.

Now, see attached file to this post. I took a datalog of my runs from the dragstrip this past weekend to show you guys what the car does at Wide Open Throttle.
I took a few minutes to mark up this screenshot. Here I can point out a few things:
- If you are fairly close to sea level, a stock ES will peak about 17.5psi at the onset of WOT around 3500-4500 RPM.
- As you approach the end of the gear, boost will taper down to about 12-13psi
- You can see the "flat-line" of the throttle position reading. This is representing my foot to the floor.
- Be wary though, the ECU is in full control of the pedal. As we get more and more bolt ons and approach factory limiters, you can catch the ECU adjust the throttle, even if your foot is to the floor.
I highly suggest anyone and everyone gets into doing this just a little bit. I think it's fun and it can be super helpful if you think your car is running funny.
Get some logs done and saved, and if you have any problems in the future or want to test an installation of a new product you can take new logs and compare them easily.
Let me know if you have any questions and I can help.
We run this process every time we tune a car to make sure our adjustments are doing what we want. We can't wait to get tuning done for this car!
