Once they got a consistant reading from the 2 DJR cars,(as they know what their cars run on the dyno all the time) it was exactly 100 KW down exactly from both DJR cars. So all figures thrown out on Sunday we added 100 KW. With the blown resistor happening when it was assembled, the dyno was consistant throughout the day and none of the owners complained about the figures. Good example was the FG GT, totaly stock 315 KW engine, it made 267.3 RWKW....which is pretty close to the money. There were around 5 DJR built engines that went on the dyno during the day and all of them came very close to what they put out in the shop.
It sounds like guessing at it's best. If u just put 100 on it, you havnt got an idea on how the car ran and all those involved in the competition should get there money back.

Why wasn't the people told about it before it started competition?
And after the fault was made why did u keep charging them?

This dyno is all some people could afford. People going home would be either happy or sad about there result, but both ways they have not accurate result for on the day. Bearing in mind the dyno is ONLY a tuning tool. I would like to know the result of the questions raised by the member published.



Cheers
