I ws just wonderin if there is a dyno around here. I am goin on a cruise to Alaska on Aug. 3 but when i come back i would love to get a pull in. The next big question is how much? Also is it cheaper to get a few people together for a run? I may have a few interested people. Thanks.

 

Reznick's in Coquitlam is where we have gone lately. We will likely be organizing a group session in the end of summer/fall again. I think Harvey's rates are going up, but its like $125 for 3 runs or so. Tuning is about $200 and hour. Its a Dynojet unit, the most commonly quoted one.

Some of the other guys might have more accurate prices on what Harvey is charging now.

 

I may be grossly ignorant but.......

Why the hell is it so expensive to dyno a vehicle?
One hundred twenty five bucks for 3 runs?? How long does a run take?
Two hundred per hour for tuning??
What are these guys doing?

I realize that a dyno costs a whole wad to build........but c'mon, how are they going to attract people to use it for those prices? Wouldn't they get a lot more people to use it if it was cheaper?
I could mabye see doing some of that stuff if it was fifty dollars for 3 runs........

Reminds me of that Jack-in-the-Box commercial where the fellow is at a convention with a poster that says he will eat and give opinions on food products for 25 grand a piece.
He gets asked if he's had any takers and replies "Not yet, but I only need one!"
Bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea.

 

Thanks and let me know about the group thing. Any others.

 

lol true, i thought it was just me that thought it was too much money for what, 45 mins or so to strap the car and do 3 runs.

 

I have a new connection on a dyno in port kells. We might want to look into them for future dyno runs i gaurantee his rates will be a lot more competitive then harvey when the time comes i will look into setting something up with him
Later

Look up the price of buying/maintaining a dyno. Thats why its so much $$$. IT seems a bit much for what you get but what choice do you have? Besides, if it was cheap every dumbass in a FWD POS would clog up the place.

sweet let us know!!!!

 

The cost to dyno here in Victoria is 87.50, and they don't have any competion. You would think it might be a little cheaper over there since there is more than 1 dyno and they would want to attract business.

 

The only reason it costs so much is because they have to clean up every time a RWD car gets on the dyno + blows up...

Or blows the dyno up, like that friggin' Mustang

*edit* Benny Boy, I'm going over to the Island in about 2 weeks, any chance I could set up a dyno session? Can you give me contact info please so I can look into it? I'd like baseline #s...

*edit again* Does Harvey do tuning on imports, or will he only touch RWD carb'd cars? I know he did that crazy 9-sec Integra, and I'd like to have an experienced tuner set my car up when I get Hondata. I don't want to go to some rice shop like G5, I don't trust those guys.. they seemed a little too shocked when I told them I did an engine swap in my garage. "Wow, that's amazing!"

We had a dyno day there about a month and a half ago. What a blast! They have a Mustang MD-250 dyno, and they have added longer ramps to accomodate cars with less ground clearance.

 

If we do a group session it will be $100 per guy for 3 runs

His regular rate is $75 for the first run and $25 for any additional runs

 

Hey I live in Coquitlam what street is Reznick's on???

 

What would his group rate for a/f tuning be, if you know?

 

johnny what place is that at?
