New Car Dyno

[aVex]

I've just only hit 800km's on my engine. I'm going to install a tune tomorrow and want to dyno the car soon in the next few days. Is this advisable? I won't wreck the engine?

Anyone can recommend a centre with dyno facilities, and possibly know how much it will cost?

Good timing. Come down to HPF on Saturday in Dandenong there is a VIC Dyno day $60 for 2 runs and a print out!

isn't the list full already though?

You really think everyone will turn up??

[Jarred]

Why wouldn't they? The date has been set for some time now, and I do believe there are some people on the reserve list already even.

Wouldn't want to get this blokes hopes up, just in case they all do turn up!

I would so love to turn up but I've got to send my car in to the dealer to inspect the rear washer dripping water fault on my car.

My question still isn't answered though, is it a wise idea to dyno a car when the engine is still only hovering under 1000km's of use? How much will it normally cost to dyno a car?

It won't hurt it a bit. If you go to Wolfsburg & watch the GTI's come off the production line, they are redlined in every gear on a "rolling road".

Make sure your oil level is good!

Wouldn't you just love that job

My guess is, if anything is going to go "bang" or fall off, its best there, they can just send it back up the line!
