Fastback, if you remember, could you ask them if they have the "software" to dyno a 1995 Mustang GT. The only guys I know who do are in Broadmedows.... It takes me 1 hour each way just to get there ! I'd love to find someone a bit closer and easier for me to get too

Oz if your interested I ask my mate for the number of the place that does his race car they do a lot of high tech late model stuff.

Mr Fastback · 02-17-2003

No probs.

Thanks Fastback...

Its just hard to find someone that has a Dyno that will hook up to the computer of a late model Mustang ! They all fit a Corvette...

Mr Fastback · 02-18-2003

Dyno discovered problems, Mechanical fuel pump needs to be replaced with an electric set up, runs out of volume above 5,000rpm. Collectors on extracors are not allowing enough flow. best reading was 210kw at the wheels @5,000rpm.

Still going to calder to see how i go. Did not change anything on the dyno as its pointless with fuel and exhaust problems.

Oz Mike has not got the software you require.

Mike ?? Not Mike Crahar at Mike's Auto Electrics in Dandenong ??? If it is, I already asked him. He is such a nice guy

Mr Fastback · 02-18-2003

No sorry Mike from powerplay.

I need to set up a holley blue or similar with a lift pump and surge tank, anyone have anything to sell?

Try Trading Post and Parts Peddler first..... Thats not a cheap setup

Looks like more than one Mike own's a Dyno !

Oz my mate now only uses an engine dyno but said the only chasis dyno he could recomend is Carerra Automotive in Croydon they did a good job when he was sorting out the car last year.He said to ask for Malcom and to mention his name when you called (Gavin Ross {HQ racer})
