Dyno Use

[Crans]

Just wanting to know how often every one would hire a dyno for an hour/do power runs if they had access to one for around $60 - $80 an hour or $30 for 3 power runs.

[NISZILA]

Not too often. Don't want to thrash the engine like that all the time. Would be interesting to do though

[MZTRBO]

What would the location be? That is quite cheap and could be good for testing purposes.

[Levi_]

Definitely interested in a power run, but beyond that i dont see myself using one much more than that, even at such a low cost.

[Crans]

Dyno will be located NOR in Balga.

Its not really about thrashing your engine if more making sure its healthy. PLug the wideband unit in check afr's

Also to be used for tunning your car as will will have most tuning software/hardware there.

Looking at buying the dyno soon and just wanting to see how much use it will get to help pay the payments on it

[gazza750]

would it be 2 w or 4w dyno

no need for dyno unless you have had work done really

[Crans]

Will only be a 2wd dyno.

And tuning will also be avalible to people wanting a retune after more mods

[SLIPPERY]

also handy to use for finding boost leaks and problems that are only present when the engine is under a fair amount of load....not just performance testing

[Crans]

So do you think there will be enough need for me to hire it out afew hours a week?

[ix9]

Your going to buy a dyno yourself?

OK cool - something like that can be good if your with it fulltime. Random visits for power runs would be cool!

[Crans]

Yes me and my business partner are buying a dyno for our workshop.

This is only a part time thing for now but hopefully will turn out to be a full time job.

We have been looking around at hiring dyno's for tuning and found them really expensive.

We figured 2 runs a week will pay off buying our own.

So if we get it i want to offer it to people at a much lower price as i know how hard it is to get time with one.

[phenline]

well you could also organise a dyno day or somethign with SAUWA or something every now and then or with other clubs

[bubba]

I'd use it for benchmarking and diagnosing. Can be hard to get into Hyperdrive on short notice sometimes.

[Crans]

If we end up getting it it will be open for use during the week/nights and weekend.

Might even setup an online calandar for people to requests times

[J_R32]

could u pls pm the workshop location, tuner and workshop name? cheers

[Go 33]

yeah a dyno day would be sick

[Crans]

Trust me would hold lots of very cheap dyno/beer days

[fr0st]

I'd pay money to use it for an hour or so once I get my engine in, then again when its run in and boosted up. Would be great to be able to use a dyno to DIY tune rather than using the road.

Would also be cool if you did a cheap R32 reflash & tune. If you want any technical info on it let me know.

[Crans]

al ready up on the reflash stuff will will probably offer that service but would rather go the daughterboard method which we will be distyributing

All sounds like a pretty good plan, I think you'll have a fair bit of interest from the members here. Make sure you let us all know when it's ready!
