If its just for switching between two tunes, I'd be getting an ECU that supported dual tune storage... Or buying an extra PFC (ECU Only) and just swapping it over while at the servo :P

? Trent has a hub dyno which will give different results to roller dyno. (Due to less variables - slip, tyre pressure, temperature etc)

no... no it doesn't. results are within the same range as different roller dyno's

How difficult is it to save your existing tune to laptop and swap between maps?

like opening and saving word docs

lol Leigh might have something to say about hub vs roller.

Awesome, can't wait...though with any luck I won't need to switch tunes often at all.

lol not gonna get into this again.. but a certain supra made 430 somewhere and 348 at chasers dyno the other week, i beat it :D

all dynos are different, who cares it just means you go to the same place when you get work done to see the difference on power curve.

I can have up to 3 tunes on mine, So good for swapping from e85 to 98 and a valet tune :D

I think what man of beard is saying is that there's also differences between roller dynos at different shops, hence running on a hub dyno will also have the different calibration to a roller or another hub?

All dynos are different. I don't think hub vs roller has all that much to do with it

Spend a few $k and get a Octane Sensor and an ECU which'll let you flex the hell out of the fuel with anything you like.

Half 91 octane and Half diesel.... Will make Nick so jelly :P

For an R33 GTS-T that I've already over capitalised on...this makes lots of sense!

Haha not really, 91 is still more expensive than diesel atm LOL

More variables are at play when using roller, can't deny that. However the magnitude of impact of those variables on the output is debatable.

Cisco IP phones, you can select background.

unless your draconian sys admin locks it down......grrrr

I tend to change peoples ringtones to the Saxophone tone (if you haven't heard it, try it out LOOL) then lock the min volume to 15(which is max) and watch them rage :P

That said, a lot of those variables are set into the program and a Correction method used to make different types of dynos, temps, diff ratios, pressures, etc read "the same" as each other.

Never works out that way though.

In the end of the day:
If you want to compare one car to another, you put them next to each other on a track or drag strip.

If you want to compare your car to a previous tune, you do it on the same dyno and look at the graph/numbers.

I learnt real quick that numbers mean nothing, especially peak power figures. If you've got no midrange, or torque, you're going to get raped by that bodykitted excel golf with frangipani stickers teh lowz.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
    • I need a great maintenance workshop around Idaho, if you know one please let me know..
