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:

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.

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
