Yes we did have a great day. Learned heaps about my engine and where its at. Just hope we dont start another $hit fight with the Pobjoy engines Vs the Rest like the Newcastle thread. Even though I built my own engine, and I am really happy with it, I reckon Ive got a long way to go to get to all those other guys.
Like Rose and the crowd from Newcastle, we went along to have a fun day and learn something, and thanks to the guys who put on the dyno day we did just that.
I can tell you my car ran heaps better, cooler, with better consumption, and now I KNOW that it develops all of its torque right where I want it, instead of theorising about it.

CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG.
I am no expert on dynos but I can't see how they can be the same,
Different model dynos, different operators, different conditions.
All our runs were in 4th gear, some operators do runs in 3rd, how can they be the same??
These figures are only good for comparing engines/cars on the day.

Great info and definately thankyou for sharing. Great to see some engine specs posted with the hp.
I'm no expert, but in my experience, different machines can vary but if they are properly serviced they should a=be relatively close. Where they do differ, or how some operators fudge results, is primarily with the temperature probe, put the probe where there is a little more heat than what the engine is truely consuming and the computer deciding the results tends to show more hp (killer wasps hey Rose), alot more heat and you get alot more wasps/hp.
At last years Brissy dyno day, for my own interests, we got the operator to run my mates kombi first in 4th gear and then in 3rd gear.....
the results were identical.
Great to see more of these days happening, they are alot of fun.👍

LIFE IN THE LOW LANEAll people have the right to stupidity but some abuse the pr
taking our cars down the track would hopefully tell us what we are likely to have
but at the moment we are comparing with five clubbies cars and a trike and the results for 1916's were close
and at the end of it all we had a good day out.
shit I have been living like a hermit didn't even know this happened , would have brought subi wagon down.
Suppose I should go to club meetings more often.

Maybe you could come up to our next one as well in Jun or Jul
check out our dyno day at newy to see what the subi bugs and buggies did. NA subi 94hp, tc subi 177hp, tc subi 215hp & tc subi blue bug 195hp.
Klaus,
I don't have your email address, I would have sent you out an invite if I did, Sorry Dave
