How come all the dynos differ in price so much?

All I want is to set the boost using the dyno, adjust the timing and then to give me a readout.

I've had prices ranging from $50 to $130 odd (per hour).

Where is a good one to go to?

Also, do I have to use a 4WD dyno or can I put the car in RWD mode? It won't affect anything if I use RWD mode will it?

Cheers.

I guess like with all different quality of services you pay more in some and lessin others.... I use PSI performances dyno and so do MANY other high performance tuners.

I heard a rumour on the weekend and i dunno how true it is so i aint gunna stand by it but i did here that with the 32 GTR's instead of pulling out fuse or wire apparently when you 1st start ignition it's 4wd then if you turn it off then turn back on again it goes into RWD if this is true?? could it work for the 32 GTS4

I will always tend to use the same person over and over, aslong as they do the right thing by me then I will support there business.

To do a power-run should only cost about $70 per hour, it requires some playing around and minor adjustments, but if your not after tuning then it shouldn't cost you too much.

I use Steve at SST, he build race cars and has a number of clients with fast cars including 11sec Skylines, Evos and has a 8sec SR20DET powered rail.

I use Ivan at APA (ex Speedworks), he's recently got his dyno and it has some serious amount of accuracy and repeatability. I get full lambda graph printouts etc, AFR... all that crap ;)

And no wheelspin, you bolt the car up to the hubs!

I think the dyno is out at JRT in bentley at the moment for anyone who wants to enquire. I think the price is around the $60-70 mark. I've been getting mates rates so im not sure exactly :)

Seriously, If you go to a place to tune your car and they don't know how to disable the 4WD then get the hell out, they obviously don't know what they are doing. Anyone charging $130 per hour for a power-run is a rip off, as you can see there are many good dyno's around which we all will be more than happy to go back to. the important thing is once you find one you like then stick to it, that way you can tell the affects any mods have to you power in relation to that one dyno.

If you want it done cheap, go to barry's he is a good bloke too, i mean its only to set boost you aint getting it tuned to be a 10 second monster.

If you can ever get him to answer the phone.

Seriously , I know he is a good operator and I knew him when he worked for Darryl Penley ( ATS )and that was probably before most of you guys were alive but is that any way to run a business ?

Gtrken and Strichnine,

I understand where your coming from, but when the other tuning shops don't know what to do with a car they send it to Barrie, everyone knows he is the best, it's just that you have to deal with all the other crap. He works by himself, and doesn't answer phones etc, so if you want it done in a hurry then your better off elsewhere, if you need something fixed which no-one else can do then he's your man.

See'ya:burnout:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • 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.
