Just got the latest VW Trends which I don't normally buy but there was nothing else at the Newsagent, & on the back cover they had what was going to be in the next VW Trends. It is a dyno day with one of the high profile Cal-Look clubs in California & they are going to print all the results & specs of the motors.
I was going to put my car back on the dyno next week before I pull the motor down to make some changes over Xmas but I thought it would be way cool if we do our own thing in Sydney. I don't know of any dyno's in Sydney so some suggestions or help would be most appreciatted, I'm sure that if it cost about $30 or so to get your car on the rollers & we had about 20 vw's , a dyno operator would be more than happy to have us there on a Saturday Morning.
What do u guys think? good idea , bad idea. I'd actually prefer a dyno day to a car show any day, I just love high performance VW's!

That sounds like fun.....time to put all them cards on the table!!!!😀

Yeh Pete I thought it would be pretty cool, we won't be competing for sheep stations, it would be just interesting to see what different combos put out as none have the same engine.

I would be in now that Blue is better.
There is one at Silverwater (SAS) on Silverwater Road and another one in Parramatta somewhere......
BUT
Last time my mate got his 3.0 CS BMW done a few years ago it was about $110.....but he got about 90 mins for that.
I guess some one might be interested in a pure measure run...no adjustments.
Futue te ipsum!!!
Yeh just purely a measure run Barry. The last time that I used a dyno which was about 120 months ago it cost me $30. I put it on the dyno, took a few readings at different rpms & I was out of there 15 minutes later. I don't let anyone touch my car anyway!
I think that it would be a good thing

Jak
heh i betcha i would beat all of you with my beasty 1600 SP, eat all of my ~40HP @ the wheels!
Jon
Can we organise something like this in Melbourne too.
Would love to know how much axle breaking torque my 1600 SP is making.
1600SP's rule
lol... i will kik your asses! It does 0-100!
Jon
I wonder if the 1300 will turn the rollers?
Peter
Maybe you should find a lawn mower shop with a dyno?
Jak
sounds great - I will give SAS a call and try and dig up a few others.

OK
Just spoke to a bloke called Ben at Port Hacking Automotive and he said yeah - around $40 per head. He is busy up to Xmas but in the new year during the week or on the weekend.
I said approx 12 people and as you say Jak - just for a couple of blats. Ben said it excludes air fuel ratio readings but that could be done just a few extra $$$$$$$$ as it is a limited life meter
I got his name from CSC @ Burwood and they say he has a good set up.
OK - who else is interested :bounce:bounce:bounce
Futue te ipsum!!!
Book me in......Speedster & Spyder.
I hope I have the 1916 in?😀

I put the mustard menace on the rollers with a performanceforums.com dyno day, it was around $50 a run at Croydon Autosports.
the stock 1600TP with bugger all compression at the time put out a STONKING 25.4 RWkW 😀
Happy to attend another one!
If it aint broke,
Make it go faster!!
sounds excellent Barry, thanks for getting that info. $40 sounds fine, we should maybe do it around Febuary , just before the Nationals drags??
We could even make it a yearly thing, that way we could keep tabs on whats happening every 12 months with improvements??
I'm open to all suggestions. oh & it would be a good chance to meet some of u guys as I'm a little isolated up here on the Central Coast!
regards
Jak
I'm in , I'll take the Golf out again , I got 85kw last time , might try cracking 100 kw with some cams and a chip
Count me in, I dont know what Ill take, but it'll be something from VW!! (I mean from my garage which originally came from VW).
Pete, how do you drive both cars at the same time! Ive always wanted to be able to do that, dammit!
Hutcho
Secoh, 25 rwkw!! (long drawn out whistle) Im sure the other guys from performanceforums.com were mightily impressed! Im sure some of them wanted to even swap you thier GTR'S!! Why dont we have a little thing where we'll see who has LEAST amount of kw out of thier registered, street driven VW! I know Ill be force to recon with! Clocked 4 times, 69 micro with 1500sp ball tearin' power!! Hopefully, Ill get there on time as long as theres no hills on the way!
Hutcho
Barry, whereabouts exactly is this dyno?
I'm not very good with the typography of Sydney, is it any where near Richards??
Jak
Unfortunately this is down at Tarren Point/Carringbah way. I have attatched a link at the bottom
I talked to Richard last night and he said he wants to take the turbo. I will give SAS a call today - they are closer to him

Ok the links dont work but here are the two address. Just put them into
www.whitepages.com.au
Port Hacking Automotive
U 2/ 191 -193 Taren Point Rd Taren Point 2229 (02) 9531 4561
and
SILVERWATER AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES
1/ 141 Silverwater Rd Silverwater 2128 (02) 9748 1300
Probabally need to start getting names and preferences as to Silverwater or Tarren Point
Futue te ipsum!!!
Yeh I just spoke to Rich Barry. He's keen to get my car on the dyno with the improvements I'll be doing over Xmas & also Joe's 2.8Litre type 4 monster as well!! It may give the Turbo guys a run for their money!
Can't wait!
Jak
im interested ! i would love to see joe's T4, jaks and baz's on the dyno. i wanna see how i can blow em all away with my 25rwkw
Jon
kik azzz 1600SP.😠
I have a trophy store below my office, I wonder if they could make me a little trophy for the VW with the least hp at the wheels???
Jak
Hutcho, it wasnt as funny as the fact that it was running quite poorly (3 and 1/2 cyls) and had a leaky kadron pipe, so some mates spread the rumour amongst the more impressionable that there was a WRX motor in it, and as a stir they dyno operator set the scale so it displayed 194rwkW 😀😀😀 I only took it for the comedy factor :P
If it aint broke,
Make it go faster!!
I reackon thats a great idea. Was thinking about it last night. We could have an interstate Dyno comp.
Categories for most power, least power and closest to factory output for stockers.
I was serious about wanting to do this in Melb. Any other takers? :bounce
hey guys, either taren point or silverwater is all good, just as far for me either way...
i'll be there with my subaru powered beast... but it don't put out much hp... so no one has to fear...
my mate always wan'ts in with his stocker 1600tp bug.
is there room?
thanks guys, let us know dates, venues and what we're all doing for a cruise after we know how slow, err fast our rides go.
nice work fellas! :bounce
I say either a trophy for the lowest or no trophy at all, just to keep the competition aspect low & the fun factor high!
Jak
