post up the numbers!

lol oh dont.. lol

worst show ever.. most of the all the cars had their problems on the dyno.

couldnt believe one worker told an SAU'er

Quote: i never got a run: "we wanted to get the highpowered cars out of the way first" - or so i was told

so after a few hours i just bailedd, pretty shitty /quote.

also most of the turn out on the dyno was all bogandores and failords, majority of all "high profile" cars all had problems and gave out low hp readings on the dyno.

i wont mention what cars was put on the dyno for show but unfortunately was kinda a let down..

i don't know if the owners wanted to "try" and impress people by asking high profile cars to come and join and be biased towards normal streeters that was geniunely interested in handing over their money to help the event running but the figures on the dyno sheets suggested otherwise.

Well you crnt please everyone.

It was meant to be skyline's only, but due to date changes and the dyno cell not being ready, the boys @ EFI basically said it was an open day to whoever came.

As far as I know, Having whatever car there, big name or daily driven whoever paid, went on.

Whitey: Like what Redsun mentioned. I dont think the "we wanted to get the highpowered cars out of the way first" shows a lot about the type of service provided. Its like a discrimination against someone with a "low" powered car. In any case, even if you're really gonna do that I would they'll allow 1 "highpowered" car to cut queue for every 3 cars that were in the queue. But at the end of the day its their facility and whats been mentioned here are just plain feedback and nothing personal.

Agreed, That's right its their facility and they can do what ever they want.

Just doesn't give a big bang for opening and or good impression towards potential clients..

Majority of people I spoke to during the day, including a few local tuners that dropped around were quite impressed with the variety of cars that turned up. I wouldnt say the dyno numbers were bad, I think people turn up to see rediculously high numbers appart from cars like the twin turbo vk that made around 460hp or so, but the response was insane.

I think your never going to impress everyone or you cant always make everyone. But i think anyone that went there with an opened mind and enjoyed watching cars both stock to powerful displaying the time and effort there owners put into them would have enjoyed the day.

There were plenty of cars that had problems, for god sake I threw my car up there with compressor surge and running low boost and pulled some terrible number but it was nice to be part of such a nice group of cars and from the people I met, some really friendly blokes.

Hello members.

First of all, thanks to all who attended we had a great time.

Point taken ay, we like to here the negatives along with the positives.

This was like we said our first attempt at a dyno day, We as a company didnt think our first event was going to have the amount of car's/people as we did which made it hard to monitor, manage and control traffic.

We only have limited staff doing there job's and even myself found it complicated at times throughout the day staying on top of the task at hand.

Although there was a lot of people in EFI shirts, most of them are customers and friends who's job wasn't organizing or arranging the next car on the dyno.

With feedback like what I'm reading its great, I don't mind it at all because it help's us improve for our next and up coming event's.

One thing I will say is, there were a few changes made due to miss communication from myself and event staff which I'm more than happy to take responsibility for and I also know how it feels when you are waiting in line for your turn and someone jump's the Que because they know someone or have something more flashy ect.

(Like being in line at a club and old mate gets in before you coz he knows the dude on the door or has a hot missus) lol

Please by all mean's post your feedback negative or positive because it will go along way to helping us be better next time around.

Cheers

Good to see you're being open minded about the whole thing and yes like what sam said the staffs (boys with EFI T-shirts) were pretty friendly. But in general I personally feel you'll want to be treated the same way doesnt matter if you're getting a tyre change or getting an engine rebuild.

Good effort for all who organize the dyno day and hopefully you'll have a 4wheel dyno when I got the car properly tuned (not anytime soon!). Cheers!

x2 on what Brandon said

Its very rare to see workshop these days have an open mind on things like this, so good on EFI for accepting customers/dyno goers -/+ comments.

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.
