G'day Maxim,

Depends on what you want to do on the dyno.

Did you just want to make one run and see what it does, or do you want to have a few runs and do some fault finding and/or tuning ?

I use AutoTech's dyno (well, only been there twice), the owner seems really interested in performance cars and is very enthusiastic about doing the work - he enjoys working on cars !!

His dyno seems to give realistic figures too, I've heard of another one in fyshwick that is about 25kw more !!! So I suppose if your just after big figures, don't go to AutoTech :)

Cost per hour is around $130-140 I think, but your best off ringing around and getting prices as they might do it for cheaper if you only want one run and no mucking around.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the info!

I really only want to make a single run, pref with air/fuel stats for the run also. Just trying to get a figure before I add an electronic boost controller & SAFC. Then will probably need the full run/tune/run/tune type of thing.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll get on to them on tuesday

there's jakes performamce in mitchell (rear wheel dyno only, but he has it in shootout mode which may read slightly more, but nearly all dyno's around australia are using shootout mode to get consistent results)

then there's ming in fyshwick (4wd, i think they are starting to use shootout mode as well)

and if you wanna impress you're friends and get a big reading (i know shouldn't say this) evo in fyshwick they have a hub dyno which reads ridiculously high.

also like jay has said autotech in fyshwick

prices range from 50-140 depending if you want one single run or a full report run that shows everything kw/torque/air fuel ratios etc.. it'll be more if you want to dyno/tune.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
