Dyno Tuning - Melbourne

[MILLOS]

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?

[MILLOS]

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.

Seriously dude on a stock V35 with nothing more than a spacer I cant see your car blowing up on a dyno, after all our cars arent turbo lot less to go wrong

[MILLOS]

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

Hey Benny Le,

Thanks for the information. I will chase those two up and see what their prices are!!!
