No need to have a powerful or sporty car to go to this people, a dyno check can show you how healthy your engine is, its a good chance to meet with some fellow boards members for a bit of car banter and a day out.

How good is this thing?
Is it very accurate?
Do we know what system is it?

If good, I'd like to join to get some figures.

Its a dyno dynamics,

Accurate for what? No dyno is going to be 100% accurate, its just a gauge thats all.

Cool ok
Yeah I know, but some dyno are way off.
Being a dynamics, it should be close enough.

Mine is an automatic, so, it is gonna be even more off anyway, especially for the torque...

Put me down please

Gumbo

i would be doing this only for its 2WD only :mad:
i might have to lock my rear diff

Atomic Pineapple

Hmmm seems to be 4 or 5 people looking for a 4wd drive dyno!

jozi

Not interested in going as I had the car dyno'd last weekend.

Just wondering how many runs do you get on the dyno?

I've got my car done twice, in AI Autosport they gave me 2 runs and that was it. In Urban Mick ran mine about 7 times to make sure the engine was well warmed up and was the correct reading.

Normally 2 runs when its just a dyno day, more if your there getting something done to the car.

hhhhmmmm,

Could we get a list of people who want to stick a 4wd on the dyno if there is enough interest I'll pm Eireal to see if he can rearrange it?

4WD Dyno

1. kceire - 2001 Audi S3 (Price Dependant)

5500

Prices are €60 for fwd and €100 for 4wd in either westward or cda, minimum of 10 car's is needed for westward too.

SV

but but tullow drag racing is on this day..
I hope I get it off and can make it though..I'll put my name down provisionally to get dyno'd though

I'm afraid my car is just gonna come up with only about 160 though seeing as this thing is meant to be a ball buster

CaraFawn

Come on guys bring it on
We need confirmations, 2WD, 4WD, whatever.

€100 for 4WD does seem very high!

yeah i used to get it for €80 and that was on my owm, without a group discount.

5500

That's the price's I got via email yesterday from them for 10 car's, with it being just over a week away I think we should stick with it in Urban seen as it's already booked and go with a 4wd/2wd session at a later date (and hopefully better price).

Matt Simis

For 2wd Dyno runs, isnt Couture Auto about EUR60 for anyone anytime, no bulk discount? They did 3 too.

I dunno who is more accurate or anything, but the pricing is good.

They use the Dyno dynamics as well or at least they used to, which is known for giving low readings.

Standard Toaster

I'd be interested in a 4wd run but did someone say €100 quids? A lilttle high?

5500

In the mail's they sent Westward were €60 for 2wd and €100 for 4wd, CDA were €50 for 2wd €80 for 4wd on the basis of 10 car's.

Urban is €45 if under 10 and €40 if over 10 & also uses the same roller's as CDA ie DynoDynamics.

Bump, This is this Saturday for anyone interested

Just remove the haldex fuse and it'll stop the rear from driving.

Seen a few haldex cars done like this (S3s & Bora) and they gave accurate enough readings!

ive heard about this been done before but i just dont know whether to do it or not?

any idea if its a big job or easy 2 min fix?

It's a 30second job!

The fuse is in the fuse panel at the side of the dash. The manual will tell you which one it is exactly.

Worked fine for the handful of cars i've seen do it. Bring it for a quick spin beforehand to make sure it's the right fuse you took out... the only time you'll see a bit of wheelspin in the S3!

Is yours a 210 or 225bhp?

210bhp facelift version, with a remap

I've removed the Haldex fuse in my car loads of times for dyno's no hassles ever.

After the dyno when you put it back in you will get an ABS warning light,this will be gone after 2 mins of driving.

Its the only accurate way to get a reading from a 4motion car as even 4wd dynos can't figure out 4motion and you will get crazy readings.
