I organised a dyno tuning lesson at Unigroup Engineering a while back and there's a few people that are keen to go. I had a chat with unigroup whilst I was getting my car fixed there and it turns out we can get one happening in a few weeks time...... towards the end of November/start of December.

There's a few people already booked (some from SAU too) but we just need a few more to get it going and it'll be the last session in the near future, definitely the last one for 2010 and probably the last one for the discounted intro price. Anybody keen to learn how to improve their performance and also do their own tuning?

All the details are here:

PS - this isn't for the previous people that wanted to goto the advanced course, they're still waiting on numbers on that one.

Am intersted. Is this a basic or advanced course? Would it suit someone who already has experience self tuning and looking to improve?

Anyone who has done these in the past can shed some light?

Would be interesting learning off a tuner IRL to improve. (although yet am i to blow something up ^^)

The "advanced" course is for those that have previously attended whereas this one here is for everybody that has never been before. There is a number of people that have registered that have done some type of tuning before so you'll probably fit right in with them.

There's feedback on this link (down the right hand side): http://www.ao-ps.com/dynotuningsessions.html

Here is the forum link to the previous session with feedback from the participants: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ha...ce-t308456.html

For those that attended yesterday a big thank you to Wing and Unigroup.

The tuning workshop was fantastic value.

For me the best concept I grasped was in understanding the combustion pressure changes either side of top dead centre.

A very long and enjoyable day.

ps. straight out of the box the rough tune on DVS32R's car wasn't shabby. :thumbsup:

Had an Awesome time at unigroup on sunday,

Yavuz IS the smartest tuner i have ever met.

Best value for money, i learnt alot, we covered in detail every question the group had about tuning.

Thanks for organising it Wing

cheers

Thanks for a great day guys! I always learn something new and it looks like you guys got what you wanted out of it with all your questions answered :)

A participant said that he was more interested in tuning theory, how an internal combustion engine works on a detailed engineering level, and how not to get fed BS/ripped off by dubious workshops. Even without the dyno tuning training it was well worth the knowledge gained from the day. I agree.

We had guys traveling from as far as the central coast and Canberra to attend but I think WA is a wee bit far lol

Something that may interest people is that Yavuz (head of Unigroup Engineering) is a university degree-certified mechanical engineer, specialising in chassis dyno tuning. He was also recently invited by the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to present and discuss in nitty gritty engineering detail regarding engine design/tuning, so hats off to him :worship:

Honestly, I think that the "comparison" table on the website is an absolute crock of shit. Seriously if you are going to do that sort of thing you need to compare your service to that of another company, you can't just say "other" because it is a cop out and allows you to write the whatever you want. For example "Q&A time: UniGroup Engineering-Maximum, Other-Minimum" what the hell is that? It is a little dishonest and reflects poorly on your company, if you really stand behind your service you should name another company and compare the two, don't simply compare UniGroup with an "other" company that may or may not exist who just conveniently happens to be the worst company ever. I think you should consider changing or removing this laughable piece of marketing.

In the meantime please continue to enjoy free advertising under the "events" sections of the NSW sub forum.

went along to this today, time very well spent. Yavuz certainly knows his shit and can explain in words small enough for me.

+1. Highly recommended. Will be back for the Advanced course.

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
