where in sydney can i go for a decent run??

Autotech Engineering <--- one of the better ones.
C&V Performance <-- one of the better ones.
Intune Motorsport <-- its a happy dyno.
High Comp Performance <-- Hard dyno but reasonable I think.
Castle Hill Exhaust Center <-- Fair.
Incar <-- Fair.

Get a dyno run at any of the above.

Yeah, I live in beaumont hills, like 2 suburbs away from Castle Hill.

The guys down there are alright, good bunch of guys, but it gets pricey if you get work done through them.
I built a Starlet 1.3L turbo. Got alot of parts and tuning through them. They dynoed it for me, made a whooping 118kw at the front wheels. If I can get that from a 1.3 starlet, you will get alot more than your 125kw lol.

[TIC-302]

another run is lined up this avo at castle hill exhausts!

[stiddy]

Good stuff, let us know how you go.

[james22]

Yeah, i think you'll pull alot better than 125rwkw. Well you'd bloody hope. Goodluck to ya

[GSH]

i saw a guy with a TS50 pull 105rwkw.....................dyno was fine on all the other cars. wierd

[TIC-302]

much better result..thank god !

the TIC is running very rich up top with a 10.0 AFR !

with a constant 12.5 or lower AFR it should make another 10-15RWKW they said.

Much better TIC, looks like your car would respond well to a flash tune.

who does them?

what brand of "flashtune"

how well does it work? I don't want lean outs and engine rebuilds?

who's got one and how much?

[stiddy]

Nice work buddy.
SCT Flash tune - in sydney C&V Performance would be the best in my opintion.

[TICK4D-TAS]

Mine stock did 156rwkw (200kw motor) Was very rich. With the unichip it made 168rwkw. This was all done about 4 years ago now. Havent had it back on the dyno since the engine mods though.

CAPA, where are you located?

It works very well, unlike Unichip it won't cause leanouts so no rebuild for you.

Usually around the 1k-1.5k mark for a custom tuned one. Check the forum sponsors for tuning.

DAMMIT. Mine was built by 'Tong Lam'. Think He was ex subaru!

Whoops, I stuffed up I just checked my plaque today (It lives on my dash) and my builder was actually A Aretsinis.

[Tornado]

I can't remember the guys name, but mine pulled 199.8rwkw at the 1st aufalcon.com dyno day.

The readouts for the 220's seem to be all over the place.

My 220 manual was 253rwhp on RDP's dyno.

253rwhp = approx.175 / 180 rwk so thats not to bad 10 to15 rwk variation on dynos is not that uncommon,heat, humidity, cold,it changes the read out I have even seen a 10 kw change on the same car just by how the vechical was tied down they are realy just a tuneing tool .whilst the big numbers are good for bragging rites . track times are ware you can see the differance. but if its just seat of the pants stuff if it feels good who cares

Couldnt agree more, all these different dyno results prove that they are no real indication of end performance, only good as a tuning tool as you say.

[5L]

well if we had a drag track in sa, some of us might have 1/4 mile bragging rights. although i doubt id get anything near whoosha's 13.7.

I can't even get to Whoosha's 13.7, even though I run a higher MPH.
