Great day, good turnout, a nice mix of cars and everything running smoothly More discussion on this event is occuring here (including full results, photos and movies soon): http://www.exclusive-auto.net/forum/viewto...opic.php?t=2375 Administrators please lock this thread, thanks ...

Forgot to add, the location is 273 Dundas St, Preston, near the intersection of Plenty and Dundas (about 1km from Bell St Maccas)

All set for a big day today! We may be able to get through more cars than expected, so there are possibly dyno spots for extra cars towards the middle and end of the day, if you want to check what the availability is like for spots, please contact me directly on 041 28 28 222. Note there will be a BBQ running so food and drinks are available!

Unfortunately, all spots are currently filled for this dyno day. If you are interested in having your car dynoed, please e-mail the above address as per normal and you will be placed on the waiting list for this event, to be notified if there are places available closer to the date of the dyno. People on the waiting list will also have first priority/choice at our next dyno day, which will be coming up soon. And of course, all spectators are welcome on the day!

Breaking news 6/May: On the dyno will also be some cars from Civilised, including DVST8 ("500 hp" Prelude, with Microtech, T67 and aiming for the Australian Title), WHYW8 (WRX running VF34, Power FC and some other goodies), and WLDPSI that runs 10-second passes.

Well, the explanation they gave about how it calculates flywheel power seems sound enough, I guess you could put it to them on the day and compare figures etc if you wanted to see if it really was accurate

Haha, thanks I was a bit curious as to how they calculated the drivetrain loss myself (as I thought it wasn't possible). We'll have to see how accurate it is on the day, as I've never seen one of these in action before

I would also like to add, we do not sell dynos for Dynamic systems, nor receive any commission from the dynos. The information provided above is purely for the benefit of interested members.

Hi Everybody! We will be running an Open (Free for all) Dyno Day on the 29th of May! This will be an ideal event to test out how much power your car actually has, regardless of its stage of modification, and regardless what car it is! We would like to thank Dominic @ Pro-Tek Automotive and Jason @ Dynamic Test Systems for this opportunity to run our much-awaited dyno day. All classes are welcomed, details below. Exclusive Club Dyno Day - http://exclusive-auto.net/ Date: Saturday 29th May Time: Starting at 9AM for the early birds who want to get their power runs first, running till 5PM (depending when there are no more cars to dyno). Location:Pro-Tek Automotive on Dundas St in Thornbury (Melway Ref to be posted up, opposite Technik Tuning) Cost:$30 for 2-3 power runs including dyno print out (depending on how busy it is) Other: BBQ, Screen display for public About the Dyno Now, a bit about the dyno .. This dyno is constructed by Dynamic Test Systems, and is a brand new 4WD Dyno. This means that any FWD, RWD, 4WD car is able to be dynoed without a problem. I've been told that these dynos are very accurate, to within 1kw, after being compared to the same stock car over different parts of the world. The Dyno is able to handle up to 600kw at the wheels, and 1800nm of torque. It suits a wheelbase of between 2250mm and 3220mm. The information provided will include: Power (flywheel), Power (wheels), Torque, Speed, RPM, Air and Aux Temp, Lambda and MAP. It is also able to show you the torque split that your car is providing on the rollers. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Dyno is an 'In-Ground' Dyno, meaning there are no ramps to drive up onto. So all the low cars are able to be dynoed without a problem (Note that not all variables may be able to be dynoed on the day). In addition, the dyno operator is able to (and will) perform a drivetrain loss test (which involves ramping up to 100km/h and coasting down twice, once a free roll and another with the roller brakes on) which allows the calculation of how much drivetrain loss, through the wheel (weight, size), diff, bearings, gearbox, clutch, etc to give you an accurate flywheel figure. The flywheel figure is the figure that we will be giving trophies out on, so there's no need to guess on 4WD, FWD, RWD power figures based on arbitrary percentages (which are generally very innacurate). In addition, this also eliminates the variation in power and torque by using different gear ratios (assuming you can reach full boost). Who is welcome? We welcome all clubs and people with all cars to put their cars on their dyno, regardless of where they're from, modifications, type of car, etc. We also encourage people who will be attending our Heathcote drag day coming up a few weeks after to dyno their cars in order to test how much power they have. In addition, everybody is welcome to come and spectate (spectators are free) and enjoy the environment (and the beautiful smell of oil and petrol). Note that if bookings are full, club members will get priority (for this event). How do these trophies work? There will be the following classes for our Dyno Days: * 4-Cyl Naturally Aspirated * 6-Cyl Naturally Aspirated * 8-Cyl Naturally Aspirated * 4-Cyl Forced Induction (Includes supercharge, turbocharged and nitrous oxide) * 6-Cyl Forced Induction * 8-Cyl Forced Induction Note that the power figures used in these classes are flywheel figures, and as such there are no requirements for cars to be specifically FWD, RWD or 4WD. Prizes will be given out at the end of a 3 month period, over an average span of 3 dyno days (adjustable according to how popular it is). This means that hopefully nobody will miss out to have the chance for their car to be dynoed. [Next: April-Jun inc. 2004] What else will there be on the day? One of the aims is to make this day as fun and enjoyable as possible, and try to make everybody as comfortable as possible! There will be an LCD monitor specifically to display the results as they are being run, for the crowd's benefit, as well as a BBQ with drinks provided for everybody who is hungry. Anything else? A few notes: * A booking is required to run your car, it is very unlikely that we will be able to fit in people who turn up on the day wishing to have their cars dynoed. Please use the contact details specified above to make your booking. Note that pre-payment is required to ensure everybody sticks to schedule. This will be our first of many Club Dyno Day's and we want to make them as successful and enjoyable as possible!
