They create load affectively the same way, but because the wheel is gone, the power reading is not "At the wheels" but "At the hub" as it takes energy to get the tyres going which is then free when only measuring at the hub.

their figures to mods seem to stack up with the expected output on the xr6t forums and mph to mods always seems good. There are other tuners on there that seem to read higher with their roller dynos. So i'd say it seems pretty accurate but with any of these things I guess how you set them up has a lot to do with it.

I was under the impression that they are more accurate than rollers, Anyone ?

It cannot be denied that wheelspin or even just tyre compound is a variable, and as such hub dynos take a variable out of the tuning process which i think is a good thing.

I can also vouch for Jim Ghelis and also Tony there at Tunehouse.

The workshop is indeed spotless and their standard of customer service I've found to be very good after taking my R33 GTR there several times. They even stayed back very late to repair/replace a wishbone after a bolt had sheared off during a suspension upgrade and we had to do a trip to another workshop and back to get a spare part, before the car was used for a wedding the following day.

Since reading Sean's original post i've been taking my car there ever since. These guy's really pay attention to the little things and always do a good job. Jim knows his stuff on the dyno and shows with the tune on my car.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
