Dyno Hire. How Much Interest

I have finally found a cheaper dyno i want to buy.

Will read up to 360hp and around 400nm of torque. It is upgradeable past these limits and if all goes well i would do this upgrade.

Before I slap the money down just wanted to know how much interest the would be for very reasonable priced dyno access for diagnostics and tunning?

I will have the equipment for Nistune and shortly straight remaps.

Hire the dyno and do your own tuning or let my tuner do it.

We have a Motec Lambda meter and will be looking into a knock box aswell.

Will also then look into getting tuning equipment for PFCs and other ecu's.

Tell me your thoughts.

I think it would be a great service for the backyard DIYers

Its atleast 250kw+ so thats plenty for alot of people. I plan to upgrade the computer system asap so it will read alot higher. But also good for diagnostics not just power runs.

The actual physical hardware upgrade is only needed for hold higher loads and not straight power runs

Basically, 250rwkw is what most people are making (who don't still have stock turbos), my stag is making almost that and my 32 will be making a lot more than that soon. It's a great idea but you will need to look at getting the upgrades asap.. no point in offering people tuning facilities if they can't make full use of them :(

Is it a 4wd dyno? if not, that counts out anyone with 33/34gtrs and Stageas.

Who is "your" tuner? what does he have experience with? (engines and ecu's).

Its only 2wd. And yes will look at doing the computer upgrade as soon as i can.

My friend is the tuner. He has experience working with Nistune/remaps and also motec's(race/tarmac rally cars)

He does all the work on my cars apart from the tunning which i do but with his guidance.

I'm mainly aiming this for now at people on a budget but still want to do thing right.

Not just skylines. 180's, silvias. Also looking at remaps for fords/holdens as i've worked with them previously and the software wasn't too bad apart from the lack of real time tunning but that can be figured out with a moates emulator which i plan on getting.

After the upgrade would then like to get software for newer fords and holdens. But for now just want to start out slow and go with what i know.

As i said computer system will be upgraded asap i want handling for minimum 450rwkw.

Dyno will be located in Balga and probably looking around the $50 - $60 per hour range

I'm not after big earning just want my own dyno as i want to do all tuning on my cars my self and for friends.

If i make enough money to pay it off and upgrade then i will be happy as.

Also quite happy to let it be used for a dyno day and community type things for free(Beer would be nice :(

Tune up session before drift/drags that sort of thing.

Oh and really wanna get working my mine and my friends banshees on it. Jetting the cards is a complete bastard having to take it out and test after every change.

Would be handy for run ins aswell. I could rebuild 10 banshee engines in the time it takes to do the run in

hope you realise all the hassles you will have from your local council regarding noise etc

you will have to build a dyno specific room with sound proofing etc as it will be in a residential area

noise abatement laws are fun

In City Of Gosnells

only 1HOUR per day permitted of noise not considered as every day noise

Found all this stuff out because my neighbour is a drummer and no more than 1 hour per day between 9 a and 4 pm is permitted

NO abnormal noise l outside those hours is permitted

So I really think you will need to contact the City Of Stirling to find out what their noise policy is

Not to mention insurances.

big shed + perth heat + cheap install = sad sad dyno

the cost of the dyno is not the issue with running the dyno , a decent install if you want to be able to run your dyno frequently during the day will set you back 50k minumum for a decent cell setup with fans , extraction and sound proofing . on top of that commecial rents , insurance , public liability and indemnity etc etc etc . plus if its not a dyno dynamics no import guy cares anymore and no 4wd cuts out a lot of work also.

lol @ the people thinking it cant read your cars hp!!!!

i bet a good 9.9/10 of you would be lucky to get close to that max

sounds alright.. but all depends on value and what autoworx said **big shed + perth heat + cheap install = sad sad dyno**

my stock unopened R32 GTR makes 342 @wheels and mine would be one of the stockest GTR's in Perth so i am sure 75% of the lines on here will make 350

here is a sample from MEMBERS area 6 out of the ten make 0ver 350

then all the non member cars you will find 350 hp @ wheels is considered very low these days

I am only looking at running the dyno 1 day a week + weekends if needed so in no way a full time job. Its something i love and would like to help otheres out with

Who said anything about a cheap install??

It might be DIY but with a boilermaker in the family(brother) who was worked for years on commercial sheds + Old but still working commercial air con things would be quite comfy

Sounds proofing isnt a big deal neither are extractor fans.

There are plenty of people with lightly modified cars that are no where near 360hp. And im guessing alot of them have never had there cars tuned either but would like to.(Put off by hugh costs)

We are also planning a custom interceptor air fuel controller similar to the apexi safc but with full 3D mapping.

I am also working on an incar computer system purely for engine monitoring and datalogging with touch screen interface if needed. Currently in development in my 32 gtr.

Also in the first stages of planning is modifying the firmeware of the stock ecu's to bring in ignition cut and 0kph rev limiter(Launch control).

Sobasically these are all hobbies of mine that i want to share round and help people with.

If any one has a big shed with no near by houses i would gladly chuck the dyno in there :) if it made it easier

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
