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.

    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.

    • sensible choice....and all 32s should be in yellow
    • Run it in open loop for now, and drop the frequency down. This lowers the resolution and requires more duty cycle to do anything, however good to troubleshoot.
