Sorry for the noob question - but can anyone confirm if there will be a printout rather than just on screen display and explain the basic run through of the set up and whats involved? Have attended dyno days before as a spectator but never payed too much attention to the precautions, whats required of the car and what not....

Cheers

You rock up, make sure you're paid up, get a place on the list, make sure you line up ur car when it's meant to be dyno'ed, stand back and watch them rev. Get your print out (I've never seen a dyno day without print-outs, please confirm John), you look at your printout and go 'hey! xxx kw, not bad!' and then 1 week later you wonder what you can do for more power :cheers:

Hey Towlie,

Yes you will get a printout.

We do a quick check to make sure the car doesnt run lean then we do 2 power runs and give you a print of the power.

The print will display power, you AFR and Boost.

If you would like to know anything else just ask.

Regrads,

Cristian

Cristian,

RE the printouts - I've seen some with kW/AFR/Nm plotted against RPM and speed. Engine speed doesn't really mean too much to me (mechanical neophyte), whereas RPM does. And the last dyno I had was kW + AFR vs RPM. Ideally I'd like kW + Nm vs RPM. Car's stockish, so don't care about boost, feels like it's holding fine to redline. Is that a viable combo? :D

Cheers,

Ben

Ben,

That can be done but remind me as my memory will fail me by then

For me personally i think KW + AFR vs Boost is great for anyone wanting to see how safe there mixtures are and if it's over boosting. In saying that it is also cool to know how much torque your car is making and at what RPM your car is no longer making peak power, speed means nothing as far as i am concerned.

Cristian: Cool, I'll remind you.

I agree leech, but the only mod I've got is full exhaust/cat and it's been running healthy for the past 2 years (yes!: *yawn*), so chances of overboosting are pretty much zip :worship: More interested in torque this time. When I do my first proper mod (ECU in the next 6 months), then I'll wanna know AFRs again :D

that's a great sheet covers everything :ninja: stupid question but how does the dyno know what your tacho is reading. I understand the speed would be easy as the rollers will tell you that but yes bit lost on the rpm.

RPM is generally picked up from 3 different places depending on the type of car.

It will either come from:

A plug lead

Injector

-ve side of coil

For a skyline, will come from the injector easiest way.

Regards,

Cristian

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
