Dynamometer Checklist
In order to avoid costly delays at the time of the tuning appointment, it is best
to be prepared. We will at out discretion repair any necessary items at $90 per hour plus parts. If the car is already on the dyno, the dyno and O2 fee will not
be refunded. The car will generally need to be pulled off the dyno and put on the
hoist to fix problems.
BOTTOM LINE: The car must be 100% in perfect running order to have a proper tune done. It must not leak oil, misfire, or have any other mechanical/electrical issues.
Electrical Issues
1. Ensure there are no shorts in any wiring, no loose connections, no exposed conductors.
2. Ensure that you have a properly functioning fuel pump and proper injectors.
3. Ensure that you have a properly functioning alternator and battery.
4. Ensure that there are no engine trouble codes present.
Mechanical Issues
1. Ensure the engine has good compression and cylinder to cylinder variance is within specification. We can help you determine what your compression test results should be for your combination before the dyno appointment.
2. Ensure that there are no fluid leaks of any type (brake, power steering, coolant, fuel, etc.).
3. Ensure that the engine doesn't burn oil or coolant.
4. Ensure that all your intercooler clamps are tight and that couplers don't have holes. You don't want a blow off during a dyno session.
5. Ensure you have brakes that work in case we need to drive the car after dyno tuning.
6. You may need cooler spark plugs; either bring them with you, or I may have a set in stock for your car. If you need spark plugs during, or after the tuning appointment, be prepared for the cost if we are to supply them.
7. Ensure that the clutch doesn't slip.
8. Ensure that the drive train is sound, i.e. no bad cv joints, or u-joints, transmissions, differentials, etc..
Other
1. The car must have insurance and registration in case a test drive is required.
2. We are not liable for damage to you, or your car due to any issue resulting from work, use of products sold by, or tuning done by Speed Industry. By deciding to modify your car you take responsibility for anything that may go wrong. If you don't like the sound of that, then keep it stock.
On a final note, it just plain makes sense to be prepared when scheduling a dyno appointment. If something is in question, just address the problem before, so that it doesn't cause problems during testing.
