Raptor Data Logger

[DEFYANT]

Is anyone running the Raptor Data Logger? I am considering purchasing this to keep a closer eye on what the car is doing behind the scenes. With the amout I've spent on this car and mods to it, I think this is cheep insurance. Is it?


No :flamer: please, I searched and didnt find the answer.

Thanks guys,

I was things about getting one of these for my Handspring.

I believe you can get the same software for Palm.

I use one every day on the dyno, its the best tool I have ever used for diagnosing as well as tuning all EEC 5 systems, I will put a screen shot up later on today we are putting a 05 GT on the dyno now. I will data log the run and show the graphs. This is also a great tool to use on the street for tuning as well.

Yes they do it will be released in three weeks

They're not giving the Raptor for free with the SCT tuner package. I should have waited a year or so to get a free Raptor, but it's really just a very very fast Ford datalogger. I'm not sure it can be used on other cars in case you want to datalog a friend's problematic car, etc...

I'm just using Car Code which for me was $120 and covers all OBD-II vehicles (datalogging, DTC reading, DTC clearing, etc...)

While it's a great idea to be able to log your AFR real-time, you will need the $400 LM1 wideband O2 sensor along with the $400 Raptor, in conjunction with the $800 SCT PRP or just $800 PRP/Raptor + $400 LM1 wideband, not to mention you need access to dyno rollers unless you want to risk running your car in 3rd gear WOT on an open road somewhere (not a good idea).

The Xcalibrator can be custom programmed by 300+ custom tuning dealers across the country.

The Xcalibrator can hold 3 custom tunes plus stock.

The same Xcalibrator device can be used on a 1996 mustang, 2005 mustang, 6.0 diesel, or a 1996 Taurus. Yes, its VIN locked to one vehicle as the Predator is.



Predator

On screen display.
On device tuning.
Limited data logging. (1 sample a second)
You can only Data log five parameters at any one time



Xcal 2, will allow the on screen display that you the customer have requested.
The Xcal 2 will have on device tuning.
Free software from SCT
The Xcal 2 will have Fast data logging 60+ samples a second logging 20 parameters at any time. Below is a link of a configuration file I use on the dyno, I can monitor any parameter the EEC sees, yes if you want to data log A/F you will have to buy a wide band, but this is a great tool to be used by the novice as well as the serious race fan as a lot of us are. There is never a need to send the X cal back for a file upgrade, any SCT dealer can send you a file that you the customer can make many changes to your self.

I'm anxiously waiting for this product to hit! I've held off on buying a programmer, because of this unit's capabilities. I've been seeing adverts for it, since March. Is the three week window definitive?

[Dennis Reinhart]

As soon as its available I will post it, and I guess now would be a good time to see if there is interest in a group buy.

Yes, I use a Raptor and an LM-1. If the Xcal2 had been available when I bought mine, I would have purchased the Xcal2. Would have cost me far less than the Raptor and the other goodies I purchased (SCT Pro Racer Kit) software wise.

The Datalogging is a valuable tool for checking your results in every day driving. But, it won't take the place of a Dyno tune.

Just my 2 cents.
