Muffleman Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yeah this is SPCs old unit, they did indeed go properly bust ! Unit's been empty for a few months, it's all being decorated, latex floored, refurbished. It is the same DD dyno too just been fully updated, serviced and calibrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Good luck with the move, Matt/John and the fellas, put more details up when you know about the openday, I'd like to come to that. Will definitely do that mate, got a lot of interest for the open day - they're always good fun Got a customer with an R35GTR coming and has promised to put it on the dyno, he's hoping to bring some mates with R35s. Plenty of other stuff too already ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Good luck Matt, sounds like an exciting time in AFR's story, I look forward to dragging whatever I happen to be driving to an open day soon, hope the open day brings in a nice selection of cars not just Supra's, wishing your business success and prosperity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I went to SPC horsham with a mate for his IS200, the two main guys were ex TDi employees. I believe Wayne was on here and owns a 2JZ-GTE powered hilux. Do you know what version of software the DD has been updated too as I heard with some of the later versions the graphs can look interesting.

Matt will have to answer that one, IMO RR's are only any good for tuning/mapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Apparently its already had a 1200hp supra mapped on it DayWalker, there are a few vids of it on youtube. When I visited it had a massive hole in the block where it stuck a leg out of bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will find out mate, you old nerd you I know what you mean though, there are some outputs that aren't exactly user friendly ! Matt will have to answer that one, IMO RR's are only any good for tuning/mapping. Exactly, all chassis dyno figures are to be taken with more than a pinch of salt. Engine dyno is the only way but it makes for expensive power runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Surely having both will make it a little more scientific and a lot less guesswork? I know that you can't load the engine the same etc but I think it will be fantastic knowing accurate differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you can't load the engine the same etc but I think it will be fantastic knowing accurate differences. The big attraction to me is running the engine in fully on the engine dyno, David Vizard in the states runs his engines in after work, leaves the engine dyno running and shuts shop and leaves, parameters are set ie max temps, lowest pressures and max egt,s if any of these are hit the dyno shuts down and the reason is on the PC screen. At least if there is something that might need investigating its not a case of removing the engine from the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time saver just for the running in, never mind the diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
