About this app

Unlock the true potential of your car with PerfExpert!

Measure engine power, torque, and acceleration accurately within 2% using just your smartphone.

Say goodbye to expensive dyno tests and get objective, independent results instantly.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

PerfExpert - Car Onboard Dyno & Timer allows you to measure the performances of your car, such as its real power, torque, and acceleration times. It doesn’t require any connection to your car. Results are provided as detailed reports featuring interactive charts.

How does PerfExpert Dyno works ? It's simple :
1. Create your car profile => Describe your vehicle's specifications, including curb weight, tire sizes, and engine displacement. If you're unsure about these details, we'll guide you through the process.
2. Mount your phone in your car => No need for complicated connections. Simply secure your phone in the car, and PerfExpert will utilize its internal sensors to measure accurate acceleration.
3. Accelerate through the entire engine rev range => Choose a flat, straight, and horizontal road. Accelerate from low revs to the maximum revs while maintaining the same gear. It's that simple!

IMPORTANT : dyno test is not compatible with automatic gearboxes that doesn't have a manual mode.

With such a tool, you can check the efficiency of your various tunings, ECU mapping, chiptuning, and even your chassis settings.

Using the specification of the tested car and your device’s accelerometer, the application runs our algorithms and dynamic power loss calculations to provide the performances of your car with high accuracy.

It's simple. Calibration may take couple tries if you do it wrong. I guess calibration pictures in the app could benefit from written words what's up and down, front and back. One of the pictures can be a bit of a guess. After that? You put the data, ACCURATELY. Stop the car, have the phone secure at acceptable position. Which is easiest thing in the world to do. You get green light, you drive. And results shown are very accurate, I've tested it on plenty of cars. Great app.

Tried several times and just can't get it to complete a session. There's allot of good features, and it should be quite accurate, but with the calibration taking a good 4 or 5 tries to complete, and the barrage of steps you have to go through before you can start a logging run (most of which can and should be automated) When you finally get to test it. You get successive error messages, phone in bad position, or phone at wrong angle, or travels distance less than 18m I've tried several times in multiple positions, and watched all the tutorials, but it's just too temperamental. It could be so good, but with the gauge error messages you get, I don't know how it wants to be positioned or what's wrong. Of a good 6 or 7 times testing on the asphalt, I've had 0 success in even getting it complete 1 run. It could be good, but it is just too temperamental, and too long winded to use.

Hi, calibration of the device sensors is a mandatory step to get reliable results, we can't do another way. But we understand that we must improve the calibration process. For the measurement process, all instructions are available in-app, it's very simple. Also we invite you to check our new dyno tutorial : https://youtu.be/WjLsbmhMo_A

Wildly inconsistent and inaccurate results. Hp values jump around 120 hp doing a pass at the spot under the same conditions. Phone is very secure and calibrated. All car settings completed correctly. Simply not trustworthy even as a relative gains because it's so inconsistent. EDIT: yeah you are FOR SURE wrong. All instructions were carefully followed to the t. Typical greedy behavior, won't admit flaws, probably why you don't offer a trial version of the app. You know no one will buy it then.

We invite you to follow the in-app dyno tutorial instructions carefully to obtain consistent and reliable results, within 2% margin. If you got inconsistent results while performing tests in the same conditions (same road portion, same direction), this means FOR SURE you did NOT follow the procedure properly. This has been demonstrated many times.
