Dynosty It is I suppose?
 

Well I just got home from dinner out with my family this evening for my birthday, and my mom handed me a 300$ gift card towards a dyno tune at Dynosty in Louisville, KY; and I'm wondering if anyone in the VHR37 community has taken their Z to them for tuning. These guys have a VERY impressive 1000whp 350 so I know they know UpRev in and out, but I don't hear of them much with our community here. Chime in if you got any info fellow brothers!

Thanks,

Ben

Great shop, and one of the best tuners in the U.S (Hal). I think he is the U.S Haltech rep as well...or something along those lines. You won't regret going there, as the entire crew is awesome to work with. I have been dealing with them for a few years now, and my experience has been 100% positive.

They are also one of the best engine builders out there for this platform.

I concur

Awesome! I'm just praying that he can work with the VVEL to really beef out that torque curve. At 150$ an hour ill spare no expense to leave with the most power for reliability that I can squeeze out of this stage 2 kit. I know they have an outstanding reputation in the VQ35 community but I just wanted to confirm that they will still be a good decision even for our "next gen" cars. Thank you for your help Sasha!

You are welcome...just be ready for some very low numbers on that DD dyno. It reads almost 20% lower than a lot of DJ's that I have seen out there. It is the very defenition of a "heart breaker" dyno. Many of my customers have had their cars built (turbo installs, engine builds, tuning...ect) at that shop, and they all drive away very happy.

As far as VVEL and boost curve goes, I would focus more on the power curve instead of the boost curve. I have noticed that even though the boost readings taper off, the power still continues to climb. That is really the most important thing to look at.

Great shop. Hal tuned my Z :tup::tup::tup:

Glad to hear these responses. I've been pondering going there myself (of course I'm a whole lot closer than you are. Probably 20 minute drive :driving:)

Hey OP. Bet you wouldn't expect someone to be familiar with Wapakoneta?
Some of my family is from that area. We used to have a family reunion every year in Jackson Center.

We'll these responses are a relief of positive encouragement :-) haha, yeah I'm not so much looking for "boost power" I do know that I would like to be sitting around 540whp on 93 on an "average reading" dyno and I think I'll sit there until the bottom end needs rebuilt. For 22 years old that's more than enough for me right now; and from all the homework I've done it seems to be possible on the provided fuel injectors and pump.


Haha it's such a dot on the map people from all over Ohio will be like who-da-whatcha? Where? I'm just ask if they are familiar with where Lima Ohio is? "Oh yeah yeah" just a little south. Haha but yeah I visit Jackson center/lakeview frequently in the spring/summer time as we have a permanent campsite on the lake there! Don't really find too many people from the immediate neighborhood on the forums here it seems! I'm sure they're out there. I've just yet to meet them

Rose is the last name of the family that I have there. It would be funny if you actually know some of them.

No I don't think off of the top of my head that I do my mother is pretty people savvy though she may know someone!

Kuk how long of a session did you need? I believe it was Hal whom told me on the phone 4-6 hours; but I'm just trying to dial in a more accurate idea

I just heard about them today!
I'm going to call them to schedule an appointment.
All I see and hear is good things about them.

Haha! not to steer you away but probably aught to follow up on my build thread bubba.

did you have bad experience with them?

Yeah. You could say that haha. If you're N/A honestly you're probably fine they could probably have you in and out in an hour with no sweat but ill never take my boosted Z back Ill say that.

Yea..I live about 15 min from them lol
I just want a tune-up, they quoted me around $600.
Is that price reasonable? Im not trying to make my ride too fast, just better response lol

I was just there a few weeks back and got a tune on my NA 370z. It's $618 for the tune. That said, half of the cost is for the license itself so it's pretty reasonable. I have nothing but positive things to say about Dynosty but in my case, I am keeping my car NA and not going the FI route (although I wish I could) and my trip to Dynosty was to do a few runs and see what kind of numbers I was pulling with the Stillen parts I added as well as get a tune. If you plan on adding anything, you may want to wait since you're only going to want to go back and see what all numbers changed...just my $0.02...

Hal is a great tuner and he's great source of information to help you get what you want out of the car.

Side note - I've seen a red 2014 370Z in my neck of the woods lately...I wonder if that was you.

haha it might be me! All I have done so far is have my spoiler and tailights vinyled black. I also have a japanese license plate on the front with a deceptacon badge :rofl2:

The only thing I purchased so far was a Stillen Gen 3 CAI. Im going to get that installed once I go up there to get a tune :)

I live near the summit mall. you?

I live next to the summit as well so you're really close to where I live. That said - I've definitely seen you around...Hal tuned my 370Z 2 weeks ago...Stillen CBE, HFC, CAI + Tune = 321.9 RWHP.

We should see who else has Z's and have a meet up at summit mall haha
I know theres an elderly couple that has a red Z as well but they live in the norton commons area. Did you install the CAI yourself?

There's a local Z club here in Louisville that meets once a month that you might be interested in. One of the members has a killer garage and a bunch of us from the club installed the CAI. It actually is not difficult to do and if you were thinking about doing it yourself, I can help with you with the install. This forum was a big help since there is a DIY thread on it. You will definitely want a tune after you install that since it will change the AF ratio considerably...I know it did with mine. If you want to see the difference of what adding the HFC's and CBE did as well to the car, just PM me...you only live a mile away. Believe me, you won't stop at just the CAI....

pm sent!

Messaged about z club.

Dynosty It is I suppose?
 

Me too. Me too. I live in Clarksville and pretty much have no social life. Are parachute pants still popular? :)

LOL....Didn't know you were in Clarksville...that's where I bought my Z.

Did you get it at Coyle?

I did. They had just purchased the dealership from Bales when I bought my 370. Good experience..couldn't ask for more.

I used them recently for some service and they are awesome. I used to go to Neil Huffman and will no longer darken their door. For ANYTHING.

Coyles screwed me over. They had a 370Z listed on their website which we made a deal on a price. The next day, I went there to see the car and talk to the dealer he came out with a paper with a price that was changed to a much higher price. The reply I got back, "We don't have anything to do with the change in price. If it changes online, thats the price." Shady people.

If it changes online on the website that they manage?

Thats what I said! I asked the guy, "How does the price change in less than a day when you know I'm coming to make a deal for you with that price." He goes, "We don't have anything to do with the prices that they change for online." So I just took my business somewhere else and bought my fairlady at another dealer lol They probably thought I wasn't serious about purchasing the car cause I looked young

Dynosty It is I suppose?
 

I wondered about their sales people. Their service guy was great to deal with.
When one of the salesman said, "OH. is that your Nismo?" (I have S-tune wheels) I kind of figured they were questionable.
I believe I would have mentioned deceptive business practices (see illegal) and given him my lawyers direct contact info.
Where did you end up buying Joker?
I'm tempted to go out-of-state for my next purchase. Most of the dealers in this area are crooked as crap.
