Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has dyno tested their V35/M35 in Melbourne?

What was the cost? Where did you take it?

I would like to take mine before installing the plenum spacer and then again after to see the difference!

I've also heard horror stories of people that have taken their car to dyno test, they blow the engine during the test and are not responsible for any damange, is this always the case?

Yes, if you blow your engine during dyno test, the workshop is not responsible.

Same like when you accelerate from traffic light and revving up your engine, if your engine blow, do you sue VicRoads for providing you a road to drive on?

Well, different situations altogether, at the workshop the car is not under my control. If I blow the engine, fair enough, my bad....but if someone else does it and doesn't respond for it, not happy Juan!!!

But I understand of course that you are putting your own car in their hands, and that they are going to TEST it by giving it all the car can take....so it's your choice.

I assume though that this does not happen very often right? Otherwise not many people would risk it.

Yeah exactly, the car should be able to deal with it fine, especially without a turbo to worry about.

So the question remains, has anyone in Melbourne done it? Some ideas on where to take it?

I took my car to C&D Motorworks on Duke St Sunshine.

They've got a 4wd/2wd dyno there, and they are good. I think it costed me less than 90 bucks to get 3 runs...been that long I cant remember....

I had a reading of 150kw at the wheels - not sure if this is correct...Other guys on the forum reckon you should get 170 kw considering I also have an aftermarket exhaust sys...

(they did have trouble fitting the probe through the exhaust.

Chasers on dynon Rd footscray also have a dyno...but not sure how much it costs though

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
