What's the cost for a dyno run these days? Thinking about putting my CU2 on the rollers.
I would suggest around 2 hours labour for set up & 3 runs to get an average, so a ball park figure of $150 to $180 would be my guess.
Don't forget that no 2 Dyno's will read the same & ambient temperature will have a small effect.
$99 for three runs. I didn't shop around due to time constraints. You could probably get someone to do it for less.Quote:

Or go for dyno days. Dyno days usually cost about $50 for 3 runs, plus you get to compare with other cars on the day.
with 100kw result on stock cars? i think it will be embarrasing :oQuote:

I just had the 1000km service done. The ping upgrade is not yet officially released by Honda. The service guy also confirmed that octane levels will not make a difference for this issue. Also, Honda factory pays for the 1000km service so nobody should be getting charged for it. I think it was mentioned in other threads that people were being charged for the 1000km service.
Quote from invoice:
"Check for engine pinging:
Roadtested vehicle, unable to reproduce pinging at time of test. Honda Japan is developing a software upgrade to cure pinging concerns. Client will be notified when available."
It sounds like dealer service depts are being instructed to look for affected cars.

I think its important for affected owners to :
1. Go to the Honda web site use their VIN and submit an email of complaint.
2. Give a letter of complaint to their dealer, best to go to the top.
I must say once again it truly detracts from the car when you are accelarating
and you hear the rattle... It very dissapointing.
Lets face it the Euro has a very high compression engine, and the car is already on the verge of pinging..
Im sure we are all looking forward to the correction that Honda will issue
to affected owners.
:o
Feel free to rev the Vtec ....... maybe if someone can blow a motor
Honda may give a replacement
Why do you say that? It is high compression but it runs on premium. The CL9 never had a pinging issue and the air fuel ratio is typically very rich. Yes they increased the compression ratio on the CU2 slightly - but it is still a lower compresion than say a s2000 (and does that ping?).Quote:
