4wd Dyno's in Melbourne - recommendations?

[greg]

Hi All,

Just wonding about somewhere to get my car Dyno'd in Melbourne.

Now that we've completed most of the engine swap for the car, I'd kinda like to get it checked to see that it's running okay (air/fuel ratios etc).

Can anyone recommend somewhere that can cope with a "larger" car? (i.e is my tyre size going to make the car harder to get dyno'd?) Or are all Dyno places the same?

Any good / bad experiences to share would be great too.

Thanks,
Greg

Thanx for posting this thread Greg, you beat me too it. I've been meaning to to this to the Jeep for ages now, anyone know what sort of cost invovled in this excersize? And these guys listed I assume would handle 35's without a prob?

[moose]

if you run your rig on 35,s
get it dynoed on 35,s !!!!

most of them will dyno with wat you have !!!!!

no recaps thou !!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly Moose, no way would I be dynoing it witout the 35's on there, just making sure that these guys can handle the tyre size, but I'm sure they can. Might have to make a few phone calls tomorrow.

[moose]

I know NIZPRO do !!!!
certain JPC would as well ,
with Birdy & marks,s cars all running 35,s & bigger !!!!

[greg]

Thanks all, looks like some pretty solid feedback... Once i get my car on the road again i guess i'll book myself in to one of these places and find out how it's all going...

Any ideas about what it costs / how long it takes to do this process? 10mintues? 6 hours? Obviously i don't have any idea about what's involved.

Cheers,
Greg

apparently Birdy was saying in a mag, 17kw MORE WITHOUT the snorkel ram head on it, thats why he doesnt run it..

I find this hard to believe... 17kw More? or was that 1.7?

[TuffRR]

I think that thing is running on gas isn't it? I've heard that when running on gas with a snorkel you should face the top bit backwards because otherwise the rammed air mucks up the air/fuel mix.
I'm not 100% sure on that though...

[greg]

I struggle to see what diff it could possibly make - unless the ram head restricts air flow... remember that we are talking on a dyno - so unless they are using a fan to blow air at the car (i.e. there is no wind so air isn't being forced into the system with the ram head) - i don't think the ram head could make any difference?

17kw is a phuckin lot of difference!! I'll try it! but have a feeling it will be disappointing

Carrum Downs 9775 1331
Give them a ring and talk to Michael, he's into high performance stuff and
brilliant with LPG

[DaveS3]

Same here TuffRR, i've heard that exact same reason, but like you not 100% sure either

Guy i know that runs LPG in his rangie disconects his snorkels when using LPG, he is a mechanic too so there must be some affect????

oops beat me to it!!

MK AUTOMOTIVE in moorabbin is having a dyno day on 4 oct. $35 to run your car and maybe make a few suggestions. lots of big hp cars. 400kw 250 crossflow xf turbo . no swampers, but muddies ok, any size you want. 9553 2303

That would be the one... He has a nice F100, old 60s model with a very large donk, very nice...

Does running on a Dyno root your tires?

[CRUSHU]

if you run swampers or retreads, or super soft slicks etc, yes it can. swampers arent speed rated, and you can be doing around 150kmh on a dyno.

[Fathillbilly]

i think it also depends on what puter you are running.

ie if you are using a Mo-Tech talk to simon at nispro ( imo Mo-Tech are over rated ) etc

most guys can get more out the system they are used to playing with

Errol "efi dynamics in Lilydale - 9735 4513"

" AKA the wizard" is in to big HP

he sets up a lot of the cars for Summer Nats and rice burners and that sort of thing. he also does complete turbos setups, norm asp and super charged setups.

he tuned my turbo IC 4.2 diesel patrol with 35's on it with out a problem, apart from getting to the fuel pump (to high) and he's 6'2"

there are a lot of good people out there its just a matter of calling around and asking, what type of motor they work on most and/or if they can recommend someone who has experience with your motor
