I ended up going to to Procar at Dee Why.  Cost me $45 and he was a good guy.

 

Also got 189.4 rwkw at 0.8 bar up from 162 rwkw at 0.85 bar.

Can you please give me contact details for Procar? I've never heard of them which is odd. Is it a well equipped workshop? Too many dodgy bastards on the north shore.

How long did you have to wait to book your car in for dyno time?

Thanks.

Just from the ECU change yes.

Different dyno. He builds race engines ("not usually into that jap stuff") and is very confident of it's accuracy due to using an engine dyno then comparing once engine is in the car. Says nothing towards the UAS dyno which is where it was done last time. The result quite surprised him he said.

Just look up Procar in Dee Why in the Whitepages.

It's not one of those ultra clean looking performance kind of places but he showed me around a bit and he seems to have what he needs. He has an 8 second Gazelle which he is hoping to get into 7's soon.

I booked it for 11 but turned up late and had to wait an hour (go away come back). My fault.

WOuldn't different drivetrain's have different losses?

massive hemi in a gazelle? omg thats madness.

were you there just to run the dyno or to get tune as well? I take it if it's going to get tuned you'd want somewhere that builds turbos right?

but at $45/run I might do well to go there jsut to get 'check ups'

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
