it seems like dynodynamics on shootoutmode is the popular choice for a dyno readout but ive heard recently that autosalon changed their dyno to a mainline dyno . which one is more accurate?

two different dyno's (mainline and dyno dynamics) in the same city (around 5 klms apart), two days apart with similar barometric conditions. read within less than 1% of each other. With the same vehicle.

Not bad eh!....pretty acurate

and yeah, just on that... the Cabin group have been using mainline dynos since 2002/3.

So its far from "recent" news

Where?..which dynos? Anytime I have seen the same car go on a dynolog and then a dynamics, the dynamics always reads about 10-15% higher.

Croydons...then Autosalon....and it was Stacey's car...so i should know.

I didn't say you didn't...but I think Cabin must have a 'special' version of the Dynolog software.

I know of a wrx that made 20% more power on CRD's dyno in the afternoon than it made on a Dynolog in the morning. There were no changes in between. Had the same tank of juice and all.

All the other dynologs I've seen read very similarly (comparing the same cars on different days)

did you record the temps on that day?

you said morning and arvo... so my bet there could have been a reasonable temp difference.

end of the day, does it really matter? anyone can can get any figure if you need too

Yep...it was slightly warmer in Syd than the gong...only a degree or 2.

Yep..I agree

Well how does this grab ya...Carlos from Millenium Motorsports ran 599kw at Queensland 2 days before Autosalon on his Mainline dyno...and at the same boost levels ran 601kw on Autosalon's dyno.....he must have the "special" software too!

Mainline dyno's even run the same no matter if its 2WD or 4WD...we proved it in front of hundreds of people at Final Battle...there was 1kw difference between the runs.

I think what Mik is trying to say is Croydon's dyno is happy...if its so happy i should be rolling almost 520AWKW......i think im gonna have a word to Jim about my deflated power figures.

I Have seen IDENTICAL results on two different dynologs equate to 40awkw more on two different dynodynamics dynos in an unchanged trim/tune. Just my experience.

highly experienced acredited operators should not have such a discrepancy...as essentially the dyno's use similar hardware.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
