New Date 30th July ...at Australian Volkswagen Performance Centre, 10/25-35 Luscher Rd Croydon The gates will open at 9 am to register...the Dyno will start up at 10 am....first in first up $35 per car for VWCV Members $45 per car non VWCV club members There will be a second computer outside of the dyno area for people to watch...and printouts of performance will be given for each run on the dyno There will also be a bit of a car show out the front of AVWPC Sausage Sizzle provided by VWCV & Trophies from AVWPC OK some facts for those like me that don't know a lot about them A dynamometer or "dyno" for short is a device used to measure power and torque produced by an engine. The concept is to use a dyno to measure and compare power transfer at different points on a vehicle, thus allowing the engine or drivetrain to be modified to get more efficient power transfer. The dynamometer applies various loads on the engine and measures the engine's ability to move the load. The dynamometer is connected to a computer which uses math to calculate the output of the engine. The engine is run from idle to its maximum RPM and the output is measured and plotted on a graph. Nearly all aspects of engine operation are measured during a dyno run. The type of Dyno we are using is a chassis dynamometer measuring power from the engine through the wheels. The vehicle is parked on rollers which the car then turns and the output is measured. If you have any questions ring me on 0431160097...or u2u....I'm online most day :thumb [Edited on 10-6-2005 by jenz58] [Edited on 15-6-2005 by jenz58] [Edited on 15-6-2005 by jenz58] [Edited on 22-6-2005 by jenz58]

thanks... wasn't a bad trip home..didn't take long to get the hang of driving without the clutch... thank god i got all the lights green from the city end of the eastern freeway to near the bolte bridge!! couldn't believe it.
She'll be alright though... i will pull the engine out next week and look at the clutch... might put a newbie in anyway whilst i have the engine out to do the thrust bearing. Then i can also fix the head and do all the other million and one things for roadworthy!! hahaha.. we wont know her in a few weeks... be a totally different car.
I will have to post pics of the progress as i go.

Thanks for a great day (besides my bad luck). good to see a good turn up and some high numbers posted on the dyno.
Lello will be all better for the next time.

see.... air and water do mix 😉

It was a really great morning, seeing cute 'lil veedubs on the dyno! Hahaha

The cutest sight though would have to have been the pale yellow Beetle getting 50hp. Good on it! I can't remember the lovely old guy's name who owned it, but he was awesome and right into it!

It sucked that Eden's orange Bug didn't perform as he hoped, but that dyno is such a good way of finding out exactly what engines are doing. And it sucked even more that I couldn't debut my Gem, she's a bit too sick to have her guts revved out. 🙁

Anyway, pats on the back to all who organised this event, there should be more! 😀

Yes we should have more....to dyno the rides after everyones gone home and tweak the engines.. just to see if it's all OK and what extra power we all get (well you all get 🙂 )

I think the old guy was Jeff....he was a sweety...it's so nice to see new faces at each event we have 👍

If I had the Suby motor all finished in the bus I would have taken that along.

I had to work on Sat though, first time in about 6 months.

It was a Dyno Dynamics dyno. I think it was just a series of power runs. Each person getting their own printout, and the results being written down on a list. I don't know much about the software they use to know if it saves all the figures for each run...
