[s-cars] Dyno questions

[manuel]

Dave,

Thanks for your input.

So you think that 3 pulls should be enough, is the temperature delta after 
3 normally negligible?

I gave the dyno shop a leading question by commenting I wanted to do 
multiple sessions hoping they would offer up a break in price. I'll ask 
point blank next time. $60 sounds great.

Each one hour session will cost $200USD (this includes special $35  fee to
set up Audi's because they are "more difficult to strap down" (is  this 
true
by the way?), special fee for using their AWD dyno, and special  fee for
selecting the Air Fuel Ratio monitoring option)

I would suggest you get a price for 3 pulls.  No value to doing more 
 without
making changes to the car.  No, it isn't hard to strap down.   Our local 
dyno
charges $60 to set up and do 3 pulls.

200 x 3 = 600 samoleans, thats alot of cabbage  for me


Yeah... need to renegotiate.



Ass  1
I shouldn't see any peak increase in HP/Torque numbers due to the FMIC
install, as the first pull, when the car is the coldest or should I say,
the intercooler is the coolest, should be the same with either the stock 
 IC
or the FMIC. The FMIC only helps keep the power Mihnea already  programmed
into the ECU a bit longer, hopefully alot longer. Is this  right?

You will see a peak increase, but you will also see less of a change 
 between
runs.



Ass2
In order to see hp/torque gains with the new FMIC, I'll need to  have 
Mihnea
re-tune the software with the FMIC in mind, as I hopefully  won't see
"ridiculous intake temps, we better back off" - Mihnea Cotet as  before.
Crazy?


Well... no comment.




What do you all think? Is this a big waste of  cabbage?





I never think testing is a waste.  But get it down to a reasonable  price.
HTH,
Dave
