On many peoples dyno sheets I see that it says Shootout mode, what does this exactly mean, on my dyno sheet it doesn't say shootout mode, are there any differences?

thanks

Ive explained this many times

but ill do it the easy way

Go to Dyno Dynamics

www.dynodynamics.com.au

And view it on there website

It will Explain Everything you need

um.... NO..

i went to that site and it is only for people wishing to buy dyno's... and you cant even access the FAQ's

wouldnt it be easier just to tel us what it means .... rather than starting a f*kkin wild goose chase for answers......

so what does it mean... www.dynodynamics.com.au... DOES NOT GIVE US THE ANSWER...

Unquestionable results

Controlled conditions

Controlled ramp rates

Controlled drive-train inertia

Controlled drive-train loss

My bad They changed there site

yes non shootout mode vs shootout mode is likely to give different results.

shootout mode basically takes the results and runs it through a weather simulator template to round it all to a nice even playing field.

then if you dyno your car in tas on a winter morning and apply the shootout mode settings and dyno your car in sydney on a hot day and apply the shootout mode settings you get the same power reading

AS paulr33 says, if you dyno your car in January at 2pm on a scorcing hot day in Darwin, it certainly will increase the power reading.

But if you do it in August at midnight in Hobart where it is well below freezing the power reading will be reduced from what it really is.

I can see the reasoning for doing this, but essentially it isnt a true power reading though.

Shoot Out mode was designed by DD so that valid comparisons could be made between cars in Darwin and cars in Hobart and cars in summer versus cars in winter.

We have a climate controlled room with the dyno in it. If you drive the car outside and it's hotter than inside, the car will make less power than it did on the dyno. Conversely if you drive the car outside and it's colder than inside, the car will make more power than it did on the dyno.

What's the difference between that and Shoot Out mode?

:) cheers :domokun:

PS; Shoot Out mode also locks out some of the fiddles that dyno operators used to get up to. There are still some left though.

Said fiddles were the cause of a poo-brown VW beetle making 275rwkw at a particular workshop's dyno day :)

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
