Dyno and acceleration test

Description

Turn your smartphone into a powerful onboard dyno!
Measure your car’s real engine power and torque with 2% accuracy — all by performing a simple acceleration!
Verify the effectiveness of your tuning, remaps, or upgrades with an independent, objective, and affordable solution.
-------------
What is PerfExpert?
PerfExpert – Car Onboard Dyno & Timer is a professional-grade app that lets you measure your car’s real performance:
• Engine power & torque curves
• 0–60 mph / 0–100 km/h acceleration times
• Quarter mile / 400 m times, and more.
All tests are performed using just your phone — no connection to your car required. Results come in detailed reports with interactive charts.
-------------
How does the dyno work?
1. Create your car profile
Enter key specs like curb weight, tire size, and displacement. If you’re unsure, the app helps you find them.
2. Mount your phone securely
No need for OBD or external sensors. PerfExpert uses your phone’s internal sensors to capture acceleration accurately.
3. Perform a full-throttle pull
On a flat, straight road, accelerate from low revs to redline in one gear — done!
Note: Dyno tests are not compatible with automatic gearboxes that lack a manual mode.

Calibration

Viper corvette stang lover on

United States

Once I go through the calibration routine, it gives me no choice to move onto a test-only a “back” button that takes me back to the “calibration” button, forcing me to start over, in a circle. What may I be doing wrong?

Helped tune and see HP gains with a turbo

UlyZ300 on

United States

If you get all the parameters right, it’s accurate to +- 5 HP. This app worked so well for me and helped me visualize and tune power gains for my old 86 300ZX, recently turbocharged.

Don’t do it

Tasheemie on

United States

Does not work at all

Very accurate, useful and stable

gyrt64t3sg on

United States

I have tested numerous apps which some where OBD2 connected and some like this one, independent of OBD2 being a stand alone one. I was surprised to find out how accurate this app in comparison to a standard dyno. In fact, I feel that this app gives me a more reliable reading in comparison to commercial dyno where parameters can be adjusted by the operators which may not be in line with the proper characteristic of my car. One improvement that I would suggest is: to allow the user to choose the 2 or 3 results that will show up as the “average “ and allow to present this “average “ in a graph. Great app.

Doesn't work

TheKis3r on

United States

I put all the work in setting up my car but it A) can't retrieve weather data and B) apparently the GPS doesn't work either because it never detects my speed to start measuring.

Nice Accuracy

SSG_Carter on

United States

Key to this app! Key in Correct info. And this app is Great. Excellent tuning tool.

Need a little help

Justin McGurn on

United States

Trying to put all the numbers in properly to dunk the car but I have a 2017 civic lx hatch that is a CVT transmission. I have full bolt ons and running full e85. In the fuel option it only lets me choose between gasoline or diesel and the second problem I have is that I don’t really have any defined gear ratios besides my first gear final drive and reverse. Would the app still be accurate missing those parameters?

Pretty spot on

Ultrapogi! on

United States

I have had 3 dynos on my car within the last month so I know what my graph should look like. My car was not listed in the pre selections so I had to input that data. The graphs were really close. It would be impossible to say they just used factory data since my data was not available and it didn’t ask for the horsepower at all. So two thumbs up for me.

Buy a Vbox

Miata99 on

United States

Ten bucks down the drain... seems like a cool app, only if you have a supported vehicle. Should just put that $10 towards a Vbox.

Great car performance information

Jdrasberry on

United States

I wasn't ready to go spend hundreds of dollars on a Dyno run. So I went looking for a Dyno for my iPhone and I came across a PerfExpert. PerfExpert was the first performance app I tried. Their website has the information that was not included in the app for how to set it up and make it work. It works so well for me that I didn't even go look for any other dynamometer apps. I recommend this app for anyone that's interested.
