it seems like dynodynamics on shootoutmode is the popular choice for a dyno readout but ive heard recently that autosalon changed their dyno to a mainline dyno . which one is more accurate?

two different dyno's (mainline and dyno dynamics) in the same city (around 5 klms apart), two days apart with similar barometric conditions. read within less than 1% of each other. With the same vehicle.

Not bad eh!....pretty acurate

and yeah, just on that... the Cabin group have been using mainline dynos since 2002/3.

So its far from "recent" news

Where?..which dynos? Anytime I have seen the same car go on a dynolog and then a dynamics, the dynamics always reads about 10-15% higher.

Croydons...then Autosalon....and it was Stacey's car...so i should know.

I didn't say you didn't...but I think Cabin must have a 'special' version of the Dynolog software.

I know of a wrx that made 20% more power on CRD's dyno in the afternoon than it made on a Dynolog in the morning. There were no changes in between. Had the same tank of juice and all.

All the other dynologs I've seen read very similarly (comparing the same cars on different days)

did you record the temps on that day?

you said morning and arvo... so my bet there could have been a reasonable temp difference.

end of the day, does it really matter? anyone can can get any figure if you need too

Yep...it was slightly warmer in Syd than the gong...only a degree or 2.

Yep..I agree

Well how does this grab ya...Carlos from Millenium Motorsports ran 599kw at Queensland 2 days before Autosalon on his Mainline dyno...and at the same boost levels ran 601kw on Autosalon's dyno.....he must have the "special" software too!

Mainline dyno's even run the same no matter if its 2WD or 4WD...we proved it in front of hundreds of people at Final Battle...there was 1kw difference between the runs.

I think what Mik is trying to say is Croydon's dyno is happy...if its so happy i should be rolling almost 520AWKW......i think im gonna have a word to Jim about my deflated power figures.

I Have seen IDENTICAL results on two different dynologs equate to 40awkw more on two different dynodynamics dynos in an unchanged trim/tune. Just my experience.

highly experienced acredited operators should not have such a discrepancy...as essentially the dyno's use similar hardware.

    • I’m going Barra fishing with my mate this weekend coming so I could probably stop in at yours on the way back home maybe Sunday arvo or Monday morning.
    • EDIT: Just a little info what my tranny is "doing" :   For the long time the trans do this "bad" sound:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs_iTXgDt40 It is literally the same sound and same symptoms(when i push the clutch it quites down) So is it really the shaft bearing?   Also:  i found this on forums: The RB20 and SR20 boxes are nearly indentical inside (rb20 has longer mainshaft)and suffer badly from bearing and selector failures when driven hard   The bearing is true and selector failure kinda too...it is "harder" to get into gears specialy when i drive a little bit hard...
    • We will review wtf is going on, but if you made any donations let me know and i will follow it up with the admins
    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
