SYD dyno session
Guy came into the ROTORMASTER shop today with his RX-8.
Plate = EVOLV
Nice exhaust upgrade (No extractors yet) & it went straight onto the dyno.
Rear wheel power = 118kW
Monday will have a stock one on there to get the power reading for comparison purposes.
Apologies for the quality of the pic. Taken from my phone cam..........

Guys on my dyno we get around 100 KWS out of a std RX8 at the wheels.
this is in safe mode. my car with the new rear muffler gets about 8 KWS more.
we now sell them for $380 + fit.

Do you have any pictures? If you fear the wrath of hymee in a quazi advertising prevention guise, you could PM details.
Also, where's you workshop?

Ric, I'm of the same mind as Kev. I live between Brisbane and Sydney, but never go to Brizzie - except for rugby tests or to get further north. Whereas I am in Sydney at least once a month, thus your workshop is far more comvenient.
Incidentally 8% increase in power with just a cat-back (?) is way beyond what the Yankees believe is possible from any of their exhaust mods to this motor.

So (incase I missed something), is this "safe mode" all true?
I think mine was 120rwkW on the PT dyno, but I don't want to get into dyno wars.
Ric - what sort of dyno is yours?
The one on the photo looks like it might be a DynoLog to me, as it is very similar to the PT one.
Cheers,
Hymee.
PS - I'm not the Advertising police
The guys would love to get some pics. Ric, maybe contact the forum admin rx8club@charter.net to enquire about forum advertising/sponsorship. Then you can get your own little sub-forum and banner adds.

guys my work shop is at,
35 parramatta rd fivedock nsw 2046
ph 02 97167690
ph 02 97985713
fax 02 97164919
i dont want to know about dyno wars and yes they read differently as the owners set the inertia and corections differently. they are just a tool to do a job. i spend my life on the dyno and get sick of people comparing them all the time. my dyno is a dynomax 450. from melb.
p.s can anyone help with a pin out diagram for the ecu?

Regarding the dyno wars - No, I don't want to go there, have seen it all before. Yes, people need to realise they are a tool, and one dyno should only be compared against itself. Sorry to make comparisons, but it is hard when you have your one down there, and I go to a different one up here.
BTW Ric - Would you be interested in having a Sydney dyno day?
Cheers,
Hymee.

Ric,
Would you have any recommendations on how I can get this muffler fitted in Adelaide? There was some talk the thing was actually prototyped over here ...
