Engine Link transforms your iPhone or iPod into a powerful OBDII horsepower scanner and diagnostic tool. By connecting to your vehicle’s OBD-II port via a LELink or ELM327 WiFi adapter, Engine Link unlocks a wealth of real-time data, including horsepower, torque, and other crucial performance metrics. This allows you to monitor your car’s performance, diagnose potential issues, and even enhance your driving experience.
Understanding OBDII Horsepower
OBDII (On-Board Diagnostics II) is a standardized system that allows external devices to access a vehicle’s diagnostic data. While not all vehicles directly report horsepower through the OBDII port, Engine Link utilizes sophisticated algorithms and available data, such as engine RPM, torque, and mass airflow, to calculate an estimated horsepower output. This provides valuable insights into your engine’s performance.
