It's not a dyno per se, it's a partially-full stubbie with lines on the side. He gets in your car and stokes it up while holding the stubbie, and the amount the beer moves up the side because of G forces gives you your horsepower. Weight of the car is compensated for by starting with more or less beer, to raise or lower the starting value.

In all seriousness though, it's fantastic that Ipswich actually has a dyno now, without travelling to Brisbane, Towoomba or I think Gatton had one too. From the people I've spoken to who have used Signature in the past, it'll be put to good use :D

I may need an incontinence pad for the remainder of the day after reading that.

But on topic it's great that he's got a dyno, he's such a fab bloke and I can't wait to see what he can churn out of yours Noelski :)

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
