I was chatting with this guy from another forum (yes, there are others! :lol: ) and he reckons BAs can stuff the motor if you dyno them. Not from over revving, from the ECU getting confused because front wheels are still and rear wheels are spinning causing heaps of excess fuel to be dumped in the motor. He reckons he had this problem with his GT, now on his second motor after 7000km because of it. He reckons he knows of two other GTs had the same problem! :spoton:

I've never heard of it before, I'm sure lots of people here have had their stock XR6Ts and GTs dynoed with no ill effects.

Having worked on some for main roads , I have to hook up there speedo meters they use on the top of the dash and found out that each wheel has independant speed sensor and then they get averaged for the speedo, may have something to do with that ?

Ask APS Pete, I'm sure the APS phase III lives most of its life on the dyno. Doesnt sound right to me though.

hmm sounds a bit dodgy to me.. the only system that will register a fault is the ABS system.....

I cant see any reasoning as to why excess fuel being thrown in the engine would make the front wheels get moving.. it makes no logical sense for that to happen.

I have my reservations....

Jeez Ross it was on the NET it must be true. :spoton:

Personaly I saw a car broken down on the side of the road the other day, pulled over to see if the guy needed a hand he told me that apperantly it's a common thing and that many different types of vehicles are suseptable to the same thing, it's just a matter of when and where.......

Can't comment about the GT - whether the speed sensor may play havoc on the dyno as suggested - however having put various XR turbos through their paces on the dyno - including some 600 - 700 runs with our own cars (that's not taking into account the many hours on the engine dyno), we have never been a problem as described by Falcoon.

I dunno about that - I had mine ont he dyno last weekend with a probe up it's clacker and the thing was prociding a steady 12.5:1 under load at full noise.

Pretty much fine IIRC..
