WOW! what a fun filled day!! It was good to meet some people and put faces to their names!

I was the owner of the sky80 and when I rocked up I had no idea I would be rolling on the dyno... other wise I would have cleaned the thing! Tree Sap adds -10rwkwz!

I ended up only running ~10psi.. but stupid me thinking 0.7bar was 13psi (which it can run) and made 142.7!

Too bad there wasn't a trophy for best 4 cylinders Or WORST offset! I wanted to win :(

But thanks to the SAU team for hosting such a good day!

as me and dion discussed black smoke = potential power :P

What a fantastic day today - a credit to the entire SAU SA team that pulled together to make this happen. In my opinion, this was one of the best ran dyno days I have been involved in, and I've been doing them for 10 years!

I agree with Pete, the trophies are awesome - I am very impressed.

A big thanks to John and the crew from Southern Hitech Dyno - they were professional and efficient in keeping the day rolling on with a couple of well earned breaks to clear the lungs of carbon monoxide.....

A big thanks to all involved in organising the event!

Vu - loving the flame action :(

Andrew (Blue32) can you please post up your dyno sheet? I forgot to ask to see it today and would like to see the boost & power curves. Also what GReddy twins are you running?

seemed like a great day for the whole 30min i was able to attend :) stupid work, lucky i was able to squeeze my car in during the lunch break ahaha.

Now all i need is a tune to get rid of the nasty flat spot mid way haha.

great event, nice to see a big turnout of new faces,, and to catch up

I have about 200 photos of the day, and about 95% of the cars put on the dyno have photos so watch this space later today for photos. Hi res will be sent to Nene to put on DVD. or you can PM me for a copy

big thanks to the dyno crew. they really put the cars thru in a timely manner

and the other sponsors and the give aways helped make it feel like a truely professional event!!!!

nice work to all

What a day even though i rocked up late. Very good turn out.

Wish i still put my car on the rollers always next time. But hey i9m glad i gave my spot up to the dyno king. Was a shame i couldnt see that beast on the rollers though.

Looking foward to the next event.

Was also good to see so many new members joining on the day.

Well done to all involved in putting together a very well put on event.

I've wasted about 2 hours of my life on it...

Does anyone know how to convert Newtons to Newton-meter?

my car made 5800 newtons, and i think i've worked that out to 397Nm

Edited by Silhouette31
didnt think there was a difference but here is a handy website

http://www.convertworld.com/en/torque/

Newtons = Force

Newtons * meters = Force * distance = Work = Power

not quite sure how u'd work out the distance the car "traveled" on the dyno =\ im sure there is a way, i just can't be bothered working it out atm =D

The dyno measures tractive effort, so that is 5800N of tractive effort.

You can set up the dyno to show actual engine torque but you ahve to enter all the details like tyre diameter as well as the diff ratio, on a dyno day that isn't going to happen due to time restraints. If you want torque when you car is on the dyno just give the operator the details and ask them to enter them.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
