this is a cross post from the 996 thread

Hey guys and gals

i talked to a shop called Advanced motorsport solutions in Carson, Ca. And i asked them if they will be willing to do dyno runs for us, just baseline hp checks no tuning..

the regular price for a rear wheel drive car is 175, a front wheel drive is 150 and 4wheel drive car would be 200

they said that if we can get 5 people or more for the dyno session they will reduce teh price to:

4wheel drive = 200.00orig = dyno price = 150
rear wheel drive 175.00 org = dyno price =125
front wheel - cant remember from the top of my head

the runs will be on a saturday and will have 3-4 pulls per vehicle..

let's see how much hp we're making at the wheels...

pls. post here if interested

Do they use 4 wheels dyno? Why don't you try SP Engineering? Im sure Alex can hook you guys up for sure.

 

sp doesnt have a 4 wheel dyno, they only have two, AMS has a 4wheel drive dyno, not a lot of places have a 4 wheel drive dyno...

and no you dont have to take out the wheels on your car..

here is what is qouted on their website

Advanced Motorsport Solutions, is pleased to announce the arrival of our new MAHA LPS All Wheel Drive Dynamometer (imported from Germany). A dyno so highly regarded that it is the only dyno used by major manufacturers such as Audi ,Volkswagen, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, ..etc. In fact Audi/VW consider the MAHA such an integral part of working with their vehicles, that they have listed it with a factory tool number and you can purchase it directly from them if you so wish.


The result of our search was the MAHA LPS2000.
The inherent beauty of a dyno system like the MAHA LPS2000, is that after it has measured the wheel horsepower, it measures the resistance of the entire drive train from the clutch to the tires So instead of dynoing a vehicle with a reported 200HP and measuring only 150HP at the wheel, and ASSUMING that 50HP was eaten up by the drag of the drivetrain and wheels The LPS2000 actually measures the drag loss during the coast down phase. In fact, if the drag loss is only 30 HP, you know beyond a "guesstimate" that your engine only made 180HP, or if the drag was 50HP, you will know EXACTLY how much power your vehicle is really making. However, with a drag measurement you can rest assured that you have isolated ONLY the Engine's HP and not the engine's power minus an unknown amount of drag. The system also corrects for enviromental conditions.

Thus far every stock production car that AMS has tested from Audi, VW and Porsche has dyno'ed within 0-5 HP of the factory crank Horsepower claim. It's that accurate!

We invite all European car enthusiasts to visit our facility and make use of this amazingly accurate tool to make your vehicle the best it can be!

Testing Rates include: 3 Runs, tie down, preparation, and printouts.
Front Wheel Drive: $150.00
Rear Wheel Drive: $175.00
All Wheel Drive: $200.00

 

no one wants to know how much hp their TT is making?

 

Who cares? Performance is the bottom line, not HP. Save the dyno wear on your car and take it to the track!

 

What time are you guys going? I'd like to bring the GT2

 

cool offroader we will setup a day that evryone can come cool

wow gt2 that rocks...
