yeh intersted in this also, Hyperdrive is a bit too out of the way for me :( and SST are no more :mad:

whereabouts is Cypher? who can do Dyno tuning?

Well i travelled from bunbury to use hyperdrive and there in house dyno, and believe the hassel worth while. Can you put a price on good advice and expirence

Not a fan of Cypher as have delt with them in the past (and wont be dealling with them in the future) as for dyno, last time they had to use 4mares(or something like that) as they didnt have in house dyno.

only my opinion

X-speed seemed pretty good but last time there they had no in house dyno either

:(

my opinions are from my expirences and dealing only

Cypher uses Formaz's dyno i believe..

X-Speed

Hyperdrive

Speedworks

C-Red

not neccesarily in that order, all are respectable workshops... just go down, have a chat and see whom you feel you would want working on your car..

True Dat bam..

having said that, having an inhouse dyno really helps with problem solving and you don't have to rely/book in to use someone elses.

Depends on what you want to do on the car and what specialist expertise is required..

Cheers

Hey Ken, i was after an exhaust and a service/tune at the same time. Is it cool to call you for this + advice ?

Im in the same boat. Live in Warnbro, work in freo. Malaga is basically a state away from me, but if the price and service is right i'll travel, just hard to find the time off work.

PS. what happened to SST?

Something about a 10 foot pole.........

I think the best way to answer that is to say that they have ceased trading and are no more. The make up of it's pretense are around at other places now.

Keep this thread on target guys or it will be closed very quickly.

When choosing a shop, be happy and content that what they tell you is feasable and possible, and that you know what will be happening to your car and where it will be, who will be driving it (if at all), are they insured, certified, qualified, experienced, and are they capable?

Do you get your phone calls returned? Does anyone take the time to explain the options? Are they interested in more than your money? What does the workshop look like? Is it well equipped, well laid out, clean, tidy, efficient?

Be realistic with your goals and you will be a happy chappy. Ultimately genuine advice comes from experience.

Beware of Imposters and Pretenders.

Supertec in bentley - scott and baz arent just good at what they do, they are also good blokes who want to help you out. if you are having trouble with something you can drop in for a quick chat about it. baz has come to my house after work to check out why my car wasnt starting...

best bet is to drop in rather than call, they dont like to answer the phone :(

I have dealt with no-one else but Hyperdrive since I bought the car 18 months ago and don't intend on dealing with anyone else. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy, etc etc . All mods, tunes have been spot on and I have been more than happy with the results. They have always made time for me, and gotten me back on the road as quick as possible when I have broken down.

Its not to say that others are better or worse, its just to say that happy customers should be loyal to their workshop. Thanks Ken and Glenn.

my 2c.

My advice is to visit a shop and see if you get the service you expect.

Get a service and if you're happy then great - if not then you're only down a service.

Look at the sort of cars the shop turns out too - and the runs they have on the board.

As for having an in house dyno - some need it to diagnose problems - some dont - some cant even diagnose with one.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
