Anyone knows where one could find a GOOD dyno shop?
Not something stupid that gives flywheel power, but whp (wheel horse power), perferrably with a widband AFR readout.
So far, Al Naboodah has one, but without a wideband read out....
Any roller dyno gives you ATW kw/hp. An engine dyno will only be able to give a calculated ATW figure.
And any 'tuning' shop tinkering with a tune without using a wideband might as well get set for a rebuild.
Looks like we speak the same language.....
I have an Innovative wideband installed in my car, i have a piggyback/fuel controller and dialed in a nice AFR.
Thing is, i want to know how much i got there on the wheels......
Comparing two AFR charts would be nice (one installed on the car and one on the dyno).
Ah, so basically after a power run. I know of a shop but it's in Kedron. You need 2w or 4w dyno?
Are you comparing the charts to verify accuracy/consistency? If so you'd need similar spec wideband attached to the dyno to get apples - apples results.
At the moment, i am looking for a power run, it is a 2wd dyno run as well.
But if their prices/per hour is good, then i would always use them when i start upgrading the turbocharger, intake, bigger injectors etc....
Then i get into timing....that is where i need the dyno run(s)
I'll get the details when I'm home and email to ya mate.
Thanks....
By the way, i like you're Porsche. Is it a Boxster or 911?
Note: My car is a Porsche as well....a 1986 944 Turbo that just blasts away with fury
The latter.
The 'B' is sacraligious to the Porsche family.
I guessed ur's was as soon as you mentioned Al Naboodah.
LOL.....
Yeah, i was tipped off by the Audi center since i was picking up a seal (interchanRIELle parts between VW/Audi and Porsche).
They don't have a clue what i wide band is....and say everything is 'at the owners risk'.
When he saw the gauges in my car, he called me a ricer. I then informed him that by having a 20 year old car, that can out-perform new M3's, Corvettes etc needs constant care and attention.
You can never have enough monitoring equippment in a car, better to keep an eye on things as wait for disaster to happen.
Anything new?
Did you get the contacts?
Soz dude, din make it home til late last nite so no motivation to get back infront of a screen.
