I reckon I got the lowest reading of the day! 106rwkw! I was pretty embarrassed. Apparently I'm running really, really rich and losing power because of it.

Edit: Having said that it was a pretty cool day. Thanks to all the organisers!<

yeah, sam's dyno reads a little lower than a dyno dramitics... but meh... was an AWESOME day!

anyone else stick it out till the end?

nope. booted after those big f**k off trucks rolled up.

post results plz el Presidente :)

Awesome day, I had a blast. Plenty of area to warm up the cars pre-dyno. As for the low readings, tough call, because I got the same figure at RE Customs last year which other people said was also reading low. But if enough dynos show this same figure, then one could say your tuner's dyno is reading high...it could go either way.

In the end a dyno run is useful only as a comparison to other cars on the day or to see what your curve and AFR's look like. The most valuable thing you can take from it is where your engine or tune needs attention.

Thanks all for making it a great day.

Dyno readings a tad low, did anyone else think that?

226kw but could only manage 217kw even after dr drift (sam) leaned out the mixtures, which i appreciate.

Dyno variance is simple

+/- 15rwkw at any given time between two places.

Splitting hairs over 9kw is silly :)

I've found Sam's results to be basically on par with other places for the most part. There is always going to be some variance.

so the SAU prize winners are:

forced induction - Ric - R33 gtst - 264rwkw

naturally aspirated - Chris - M3 - 168rwkw

prizes can be collected from the next general meeting guys. CONGRATS!

the overall winner was hotly contested with a 378.9rwkw and 379rwkw by a 2jz supra and a blown VE GTS respectively.

other highlights were 299rwkw from the blown monaro, 148rwkw from james's mad max replica and everyone jumping back about a metre when the bee*R limiter was hit on John's R32 GTR

all in all a brilliant day

thanyou to all that attended

Why does this go on after every Dyno Day???...

Just wanted to compare thats all. And make sure my car is not going "backwards" powerwise. hehe

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
