Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 1m 26d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 12/08/04 11:49 AM Share Posted 12/08/04 11:49 AM Forgot the mention that cost will be $50 for 2 power runs.Bit steep. $50 x 50 cars = $2500. A nice little earner. Wasn't this supposed to be so that potential customers could see the value of your new dump pipe and exhaust system?Geea. Mate, dynos don't grow on trees you know! :lol: They cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy and set up and then there's maintenance. :o Then there's the other workshop costs such as wages, power etc. The guy is in business to make money, not a charity. He could probably make that money in an hour fitting exhausts to XR6Ts instead of having the shop packed out with Dyno Queens all morning. Has APS or Nizpro or any other tuner done what you are suggesting Geea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 12 months ago APS had a dyno day at one of their Melb installers. I think it cost $20 per car, not sure though it was awhile ago.I run businesses myself and I fully understand about making money. My point was that they are trying to impress us and sell us their product. That being the case I thought it may have been prudent to cover costs on the dyno day and generate a bit of good will. If they were to charge $20 per car they would still cover costs and make a small profit. I'm in Melbourne so it doesn't really affect me I was only making an observation.Geea.

Brownster Member 8 Member For: 20y 6m 1d Location: Sydney, Castle Hill Posted 12/08/04 09:04 PM Author Share Posted 12/08/04 09:04 PM He used to work for Unique Autosports in Castle hill, so he has pleanty of experience with Jap Turbo's and he also had a xr6T ute on the dyno when I was there. If it was blue then that was the one that had the ECU, injectors & new spark plugs fitted. I think on 9 psi it was making around 270kw ATW. So with an exhaust the magic 300kw or more ATW is easily achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
