Dyno Night Sydney

I have made enquires about a Dyno Night here in Menai.

A car tuning place in Menai have a Dyno Dynamics 4500 Dyno. They said that they can run a Dyno Night provided we roll up with between 15 and 25 cars.

For thirty five dollars you get two runs with print-outs. The night starts at 17:30 (5:30 pm) and generally finishes by 21:30 (9:30 pm). They have fans to keep the cars cool during their dyno run.

The 1st of Feb has been booked for the Dyno Night.

Where:
Pulse Racing
3/788 Old Illawarra Rd
Menai Sydney

When:
1st Feb 2008
17:30 finished by 21:30. You can come late but no later than 20:30

Anyone interested?

Another feature of the Dyno run is that you will get a reading of your exhaust emissions and boost reading.

I'm keen-ish. Another dyno that has been used a lot by the Vortex crew is Mainline at Revesby. It's just off the M5 so is very convenient for me.

The "Dyno Night" might end up being a clubMini event. In that case, it will be a Mini only event. If clubMini do not want to be part of it, I will open it up to other types of cars.

Spectators are welcome provided no one objects to the presence of spectators prior to the event.

This should be a fun night. Has anyone got any reservations about putting their car on a dyno?

This is also a clubMini event. I expect the spots to fill up fast. So if you are interested, you better get your name onto the list.

Sounds like it'll be a good turnout.
I worked in a workshop with a dyno for sometime & have spent plenty of time with my racecar on them, they can be a great tuning/diagnostic tool.
A word of warning though...if your clutch is not 100% dont risk it, just for the sake of a printout with a hp/torque curve.
Have fun...
