Everyones dyno "reads low", its the new black.

yeah i found that my car ran about 40kw difference between 2 dyno's. dynodynamics and mainline

i really dont care, the car felt much faster.

i always get the car dynoed and tuned on the same dyno to eliminate any issues with the dyno reading low. then if power is down or its not making as much as it should be then there is something wrong.

andrew seams to ignore light load tuning and only do full load tunes when hes busy. if he didnt spend much time on it then i dare say you have a rich light load map with no where near enough timing. i'm in perth and have nistune software if you want me to take a look at it for you?

perfect for a street car :cool:

yer definately.... made me start doing my own tuning, got sick of paying $400+ for a job not even half done

Right on...

Once you have the gear (laptop, software, wideband and AFR guage and a free section of highway) it actually not that hard! The EMS software I'm using is really user friendly too (:

I'm considering buying the gear myself as the consistency I seem to get is a bit average, so many average tunes and most people don't know how to check it so not many people on here realise either, that or I need to find a tuner where they offer for me to sit around and watch everything they do.

Personally seeing those AFRs on that dyno sheet and it being a final tune I would take it elsewhere, if it looks like that on WOT I'd hate to imagine what the timing and afrs look like on half load and cruise. Might cost you $500 but if you can find someone that will take the time and do the entire map properly it is worth it, only trouble is finding someone who will put this sort of effort in.

A lot of the big tuners will for their big hp and important customers cars, but will rush some of the cheaper jobs so the consistency isn't there.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
