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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      The overboost could be more of a cause. Broken turbines usually ends up in the cat, time to engine rebuild. Blown stock turbos can be high flowed with bigger and modern wheels for greater power goals.

      Yeah was gonna say as it wouldn't line up correctly, I imagine if they put the wheel that way it would mess with the wheel alignment.

      My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.

      There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
