Puffwagons Dyno Tuning Adventures

[Puffwagon]

So the shed design has changed slightly but not much, just changed the roof design to suit the shorter 8M span. I'm getting it re-quoted and from there I'll send a deposit and get things rolling. If I want it up this year the council will need to approve it almost immediately, so I'll go in there and ask them to do it lol. They either will or they wont, no harm in asking.

let us know how much $$ for the shed quote as I'm looking to make mine bigger (roof height).

[Puffwagon]

It's roughly $52,000 for the various options I've chosen. Without insulation and 5 electric roller doors I could save nearly 10k but fark that, it's stinking hot here in summer and I like doors

So rather than upgrade the dyno pc with something decent I'm merely upgrading the cpu from a core 2 E3400 to a core 2 Q9500. I'll even give it a a fresh 4gb of ddr2 800 to liven things up a bit. Haha very old tech but still a decent upgrade

who doesn't like to use old PC parts  

[Puffwagon]

I love it. There's probably some old overclocking boards out there, I might be able to run the chip at 3.4GHz or something lol. What I think I'll do sooner or later is upgrade the dyno pc with my current setup (4790k etc) and just get a new mobo, cpu and ram for my desktop.

 

In other news the shed has been updated, the plan has been drawn up, the deposit has been paid and the council application will go in tomorrow. While I could afford the larger one and it would have fit, it was much too big to be reasonable lol...it would have been epic but not reasonable 

Here's a pic of the new version
