Would be great.

Sorry guys but work commitments last week made it impossible to get time for even a phone call.
Weekends are better for me but no-one is open on Saturday mornings.
Will try again this week and post my results.

Looking forward to hearing about it

Looking forward to hearing about it

I managed to get some time today to make a few phone calls. Just want to start by saying that everyone I spoke to was most helpful.

Anyway, I called BPS & spoke to Dave. The hourly rate for a run on the dyno is $181.50 however Dave reckons it will only take about 1/2 hour of their time so expect to pay $90.75 including GST. The Dyno was busy at the moment but should open up in a day or two. This Friday should be okay.

As I live very close to Coorparoo I then called Harding Performance (HP) and spoke to John. He said their dyno is not actually available for general hire and is only available for their software or for their in-house development tunes. Although my TDI Jetta has a HP supplied Oettinger tune (flashed back in 2010) this did not qualify in this instance. I also spoke to John about the recent changes (the APR / Oettinger split and then a month later the APR / HP split). Apparently APR are just not into diesels. John did say that I should give CNJ Motorsports at Underwood a try. They have a AWD dyno that can run in 2WD mode. John estimated that they would charge about $120 /hr.

I then called CNJ and spoke to Calvin. By now it was 4:30 pm so I did not want to take up too much of Calvins time. He said that dyno power run would be a flat $132. Availability was a week out at the moment.

So there you have it.

Thanks a lot that is some great info there. I know who to call and who certainly not to call.
