I ended up going to to Procar at Dee Why.  Cost me $45 and he was a good guy.

 

Also got 189.4 rwkw at 0.8 bar up from 162 rwkw at 0.85 bar.

Can you please give me contact details for Procar? I've never heard of them which is odd. Is it a well equipped workshop? Too many dodgy bastards on the north shore.

How long did you have to wait to book your car in for dyno time?

Thanks.

Just from the ECU change yes.

Different dyno. He builds race engines ("not usually into that jap stuff") and is very confident of it's accuracy due to using an engine dyno then comparing once engine is in the car. Says nothing towards the UAS dyno which is where it was done last time. The result quite surprised him he said.

Just look up Procar in Dee Why in the Whitepages.

It's not one of those ultra clean looking performance kind of places but he showed me around a bit and he seems to have what he needs. He has an 8 second Gazelle which he is hoping to get into 7's soon.

I booked it for 11 but turned up late and had to wait an hour (go away come back). My fault.

WOuldn't different drivetrain's have different losses?

massive hemi in a gazelle? omg thats madness.

were you there just to run the dyno or to get tune as well? I take it if it's going to get tuned you'd want somewhere that builds turbos right?

but at $45/run I might do well to go there jsut to get 'check ups'

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • Yea pedal box and no abs
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
