On many peoples dyno sheets I see that it says Shootout mode, what does this exactly mean, on my dyno sheet it doesn't say shootout mode, are there any differences?

thanks

um.... NO..

i went to that site and it is only for people wishing to buy dyno's... and you cant even access the FAQ's

wouldnt it be easier just to tel us what it means .... rather than starting a f*kkin wild goose chase for answers......

so what does it mean... www.dynodynamics.com.au... DOES NOT GIVE US THE ANSWER...

Unquestionable results

Controlled conditions

Controlled ramp rates

Controlled drive-train inertia

Controlled drive-train loss

My bad They changed there site

yes non shootout mode vs shootout mode is likely to give different results.

shootout mode basically takes the results and runs it through a weather simulator template to round it all to a nice even playing field.

then if you dyno your car in tas on a winter morning and apply the shootout mode settings and dyno your car in sydney on a hot day and apply the shootout mode settings you get the same power reading

AS paulr33 says, if you dyno your car in January at 2pm on a scorcing hot day in Darwin, it certainly will increase the power reading.

But if you do it in August at midnight in Hobart where it is well below freezing the power reading will be reduced from what it really is.

I can see the reasoning for doing this, but essentially it isnt a true power reading though.

Shoot Out mode was designed by DD so that valid comparisons could be made between cars in Darwin and cars in Hobart and cars in summer versus cars in winter.

We have a climate controlled room with the dyno in it. If you drive the car outside and it's hotter than inside, the car will make less power than it did on the dyno. Conversely if you drive the car outside and it's colder than inside, the car will make more power than it did on the dyno.

What's the difference between that and Shoot Out mode?

:) cheers :domokun:

PS; Shoot Out mode also locks out some of the fiddles that dyno operators used to get up to. There are still some left though.

Said fiddles were the cause of a poo-brown VW beetle making 275rwkw at a particular workshop's dyno day :)

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
