Well, it depends on the part. Some parts requires tuning, while some requires only a simple run just to see the difference. But you need to know that on most EFI engines these days, the ECU needs some run in time to learn the new curve. Example, air filter, some ECU takes only minutes to learn while some several days. So, by immediately doing a dyno run, the result may not be accurate. Whereas an upgrade of fuel pump requires immediate tuning, otherwise, your FC will be high without a consistent powerband.

not everyone driving a stock car here right?

even stock cars will have benefits....e.g. when the dyno graph show's its lower than your previous graph at least you know there is something happening in ur engine rite? spark plugs? spark cable? ignition? fuel pump? fuel injector & so on so forth....

main purpose is that I want an initial benchmark only, there for I opt for dyno run oni.

I'd put in some enhancements like changing filters, lightened cam pulleys, changing to better/performance spark plugs... while my end of the day consideration is doing some balancing on the shafts if not full balancing...
that IS...IF my budget permits...

my extras would be having an emanage & to avoid standalone.
i'm just looking for improvements at a very reliable state & non-peninging rate...

anyway to continue, are there other dyno services apart from sunway? Shah Alam? other states, maybe? heard there is one in Penang, but that's just too far to reach.

yes, there's one in penang. quite new actually just setup last april. normally i go there. standard rate of RM100 for about 2-3 runs. tuning piggyback extra kira. it uses dastek dynometer kira bhp one, same like the one in johor, i donno what's the johor shop name.

viswork? using unichip as their piggyback?

brother there is only 1 main distributor in msia for dastek unichip piggyback, even robyn of rs impressive take unichip from them which is viswork (jb) i forget the owner of the shop name adi but they r close friend as i know...even works engineering is actually very close to the boss of viswork...(or mayb there is another name for their shop ler...)

no particular reason, my target is to minimize mods & fuss.
standalone can offer more tuning options (what I understood) but I wish to stay with most standard settings.
Read quite a good discussion for 4G93P using SMT-6 (not standalone, rite?) but I need to see how things fit 1st, if need standalone/piggy maybe will give a try. Else just stay low.
still need to learn more

Wanna ask you guys, any change the dyno place can cheat the true HP/torque output of our car?

standalone is good, more option to tweak but it all depend on the tuner cos the base map is crucial, standalone sure involve more $ and time. i prefer upgraded oem ecu with add on tuning function, like hondata & mines etc....

different dyno machine will have slight difference results right?

yeap, this part has it's own custom setting, prefixed but tuneable.
Heard hondata was the best for Honda.

And yeah, diff dyno machines have diff results... might be due to tuning and wear issues.
just from my reading.

ermm...borrow TS thread...

usually, those dyno machine is testing BHP or WHP???

normally its WHP

BHP will make u happier but WHP is really matter the most

They have both, you can request for both printouts.

but i thought both requires different setup...

hey guys, is there any dynos open on Sunday?

i noe rm 80 per dyno run in sri damansara... D-Tuning.
