How much do you loose from flywheel to back tyres? Considering on a good day they are about 110-118kw at the flywheel. The guy tuning stated the fuel was being starved before he tuned and added the "module". So has anyone actually had there car "dynoed"?
I would imagine a 30% loss at the most generally 20% on a car through the drive train automatics more then manual.
Hi Steve,Originally Posted by Steve4wdin
everyone talking to you now has most likely had their car Dynoed mate, its a common and well worth while state of tune.
A decent Dyno tuner will get you maybe 30 to 40% power up just on the retune from factory spec regardless. When i got my GUIV TD42Ti done it drove on with 67rwkw on 33s and drove out with 93rwkws. Out standing result for me but also absolutely predictable and common.
If you drove out with 91rwkws then you likely drove in (or should have) with around 50 to 60 rwkw with ease i would have thought? anyone here had their ZD30CRD done off spec?
As mentioned above though bud, if you drove on with less than 40rwkws then you really should have been asking the question of Mr Nissan first? Go the Chip certainly but your chip is Not a 200% Powerup and most of your gain was achieve with a screw Driver
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Yeah I agree 200% is a huge increase for a chip. You certainly wouldnt loose 80 kw as i think the crd are around the 120kw mark from factory at the engine. Something wasnt right to begin with or it is the smoke and mirrors thing. I have a mate who is a tuner and has tuned my car and my mates and he showed us how we coould make 30 extra hp at the wheels just by moving one of the probes for the dyno.
Hi Steve, what's the name of the place you got it dynoed? PM if you like please.Has any one had there Patrols "dynoed"? I had mine done last friday and was horribly shocked to find it only had 36rwkw. WHAT THE??? I`ve got a 2011, 3lt crd series 7.
cheers,
Dingo,
Insight motorsports at Arndel Park Fitted the module and Dynoed the patrol. I bought the module from Supercar performance in QLD. They have no affiliation with each other.
Mudrunner,
I am not at all saying the module / chip gave a 200% gain. The guy ran the car twice and got the same result. He too questioned the result, however he has retuned (with a screw driver) the settings, fitted the module and dynoed again an other four runs to achieve the result of 91kw. I am more curious wether mr nissan sold me a lemon or if it is normal. Dealers suk, and more than likely tell me more bull to add to my frustration.
Interesting thread Steve , thanks for sharing . keen to know your fuel useage / economy prior to dyno ?
The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .
Boots, I was useing about 15lt/100klms. I haven`t had a chance to retest but on the weekend I towed my camper trailer down south coast, it wieghs in at about 1000kgs, round trip was 330ks and I used just under half a tank. I was impressed

Hi Guys,
What should a dyno tune cost?

2011 ST Patrol, ARB bull bar with Tigerz11 winch and IPF spotlights. Snorkel, UHF Radio. ARB air compressor and a front locker. Dual battery, Diff Breathers and 2" OME lift and 16" Black Dynamic Steel rims with muddies
It depends whether your car is ready for a Dyno or needs mods to make it worth your while? If you dont have a Manual Boost Controller fitted then dont bother till you do or pay them to fit one. If you dont have a Bung in your exhaust for the Pyro then they will drill a hole and plug it when they are done for a little extra cost but i'd recommend getting a Pyro anyway
A Dyno Tune will cost you anywhere from $120 to $170 for a basic Power Up Tune through to Lots if other Mods need to be done as above.
Great Outcome guaranteed though. Driving out of the Dyno tuner after the first time you get it done is Awesome!!
