Beyond Dyno Day in Spring 2003

[kenny]

Is there any interest in this event? Please post if you are interested in getting your car dynoed? If there are enough people, we could turn it into a fun event with multiple classes (ie. best NA car, best Turbo, best S/C, best 4banger etc).

If there isn't too many people that want to do it, there is the one on December 1st that Toma is already organizing.

[GTS Jeff]

I'd like to see how my car is performing. What are we looking at for cost?

[kenny]

Depends on how many people I guess! toma? :)

[Dirty_SOHC]

I definitely be interested

[redec]

AWD? :P

[Dirty_SOHC]

No go for AWD has to be FWD or RWD

[Toma]

$40 sounds fair to me. That will realistically get you 2 runs. One to make sure everything is running well and set-up properly, the second a "back-up" to make sure everything was right.

If you guys have some way of tuning your AF, then AF graph will also be included (though the way I am going through wide band 02 sensors, one of these days, I am gonna have to start charging for that ;) )

Toma

[Dirty_SOHC]

Only because I keep shooting it out of my exhaust every 2 or third run=P

[G]

I'm in for $40. I want to know how much of the 260 hp gets to the rear wheels in my G35.

[boi-alien]

i think i might be in as well

[RGAGT]

When Would this be (what date)

[SpeedStar]

Yeah I'm down. I already posted in the other dyno post... But I need to know FOR SURE the date and time so I can book off work if I have to. That would be greatly appreciated. ;)

[Davan]

I would be in. As long as it's not for another two weeks.... my new catback won't be in for a couple weeks. :) Is this at Davenport?

[Ben]

can we make this some time in the spring?! Not everyopne is gonna be done come december...

[Madspinner]

yeah I will be in,maybe,I should have my exhaust by then.

I'm not 100% sure about mine, but most newer AWD cars are electronically controlled. Removal of the front driveshaft will not work to run a dyno test.

[GTS Jeff]

hmmm i wonder if i can afford this...what with christmas and all

my car doesnt :( i vote for spring :thumbsup:

[drox]

My car wont be broken in until like... spring :( We should have another then. If you pay like... 80$ can you have 4 or 5 runs? Lol

[Toma]

Regular price is only $90 an hour....you can make 10 runs or so...

[szw]

Do dyno results alter if I'm running my winter tires/rims compared to summer tires/rims?

[Toma]

They can. If they are heavier etc, that can affect power numbers slightly, as can tire compuond, tire pressure (deformation) etc. But, it won't be more then a few horsepower.

Toma

[szw]

ok I won't be in for this. If there is one in the spring sure. 90 bucks an hour is pretty good, split it with two people you get a few runs and its only 30 bucks.

[Toma]

bzzt, wrong answer ;)

$90 per hour per car. The reason is that strapping each car down is the PITA part. Once its on the dyno, its easy, hence why regular rate is $50 for just a single baseline run.

Toma

[szw]

ahh I get it. Well I may be in then. BUT I wanted to get a stock dyno, put on my intake and dyno it again. Would that be possible, or a PITA since you have to strap down the car twice?

if you can install your intake in less than an hour its possible :D

my intake didnt give me very many gains until i got my exhaust, gotta do input, and output :thumbsup:

it doesn't take an hour to remove an intake

[three.eighteen.]

time to see what the bimmer is laying to the ground, i figuer im in the ballpark of about 100 at the wheels

[Toma]

Is that a picture of your car in your sig? SWEEEEEEEET :thumbsup:

[redline_13000]

hmmm i wonder what my jimmy puts to the wheels:confused:

[2K255HP]

I'm assuming this is a mustang dyno and not a dynojet :dunno:

[Dirty_SOHC]

yup mustang Dyno

[three.eighteen.]

nope lol, mines a stock 318is, for that body conversion alone in the pic is 15g US.

[ninjak84]

If this happens when the snow melts, I'm in for sure.
Unfortunately I'm stuck in Lethbridge with no insurance on the 240 until then.

[2K255HP]

Am i correct in saying that mustang dyno's usually put out higher numbers than that of dynojets?!

[Toma]

I heard lower...... never tried it back to back though.

Superford did a test, and the 120hp car made a little more on the Mustang, but the 500hp car made less on the Mustang....go figure.

Toma

[Mystik J]

What kinda other goodies would we be able to do but dyno are car?
wow that would be great to see my car get dynoed at probably 94 horsepower to the wheels lol

but that sounds like a good idea

[Toma]

If you know what it weighs fairly closely with you in the car, you can do 0 to 60mph runs or 1/4 mile runs as well.

Toma

[Fuji]

I will come watch and test out my ass dyno on my AWD... :P

[350hp_or_Bust]

is the date set yet?? I'd be in if it was in the springtime.

[ConVict]

If this event is in Spring count me in! Just get organized make a date so people can plan for it! Most people have their rides parked for winter so I dont think thats such a good idea!
Can some one get on a date, and the costs of a multi-party dyno session ?

[Toma]

Well, I dunno. Spring is like 4 months away. I dunno about the winter theory, had a better turnout December first then I did for grand opening day ;) ;)

If you guys wanna plan that far ahead, lets shoot for sometime end of March??

Soooo, vote!!
1) Jan
2) Feb
3) March
4) April

I'm good to go anytime :thumbsup:

[ConVict]

So Toma...
Are you really good at tunning F/I ?
I need to hook up to a dyno and tune for quite a while...
How long do you think it would take to get the max efficency ?

[CRXguy]

No AWD dyno makes me sad.:(

[ninspeed]

I think april will be good.. i think its going to be a late winter this year, so by april everyone should have there goodies on the road (ill be done in july, but ill see where i am at in april)

[350hp_or_Bust]

I vote March, but april will work.

[ConVict]

Late March , Or April is prefect... Plus you can print out copies of the Dyno Graph correct Toma ?

[1 PHAT VW]

$40 to see just how slow i can go doesn't sound to bad!!!...I.m in

[szw]

When does race city normally open for track nights?

Any idea if they plan on doing the sunday thing again, like they did at the end of last season?

Anyways, Toma was it your shop max detonated his rx7 at? :confused: :D

Edit: I wouldnt mind having this done around feb. before i get heavy on the mods. I should just go book an hour for myself heh.

[Weapon_R]

Is this thing a go in Feb? Sounds good to me - Toma, do you have a date set uP?

[syeve]

I'm in...earlier the better

[Hollywood]

I'm in but the later the better..march, april.

[ninjak84]

Later the better is correct.
April is my vote!

[Nix87]

If it's in the spring count me in i'll have the new wheels by then.. See what kinda performace i get stock good for comparision after upgrades..

Carefull:(

Make sure you know what your talking about before you post something like that. There are WAY more factors than the addition of load that account for lower numbers on the Mustang Dyno. I don't know them so I won't comment. There are no signs of detonation whatsoever, perfect A/F ratio, perfect timming, I have seen (and felt the motor) only one seal went, it feels and looks like it just folded over. Could this be caused by detonation? Sure, but in this case it is VERY unlikely, a better culprit might be improperly milled rotors, that motor had 3mm seals:(

[Ben]

I want in on this Dyno Day, and I dont care when it is.

I'm not 100% sure about mine, but most newer AWD cars are electronically controlled. Removal of the front driveshaft will not work to run a dyno test. On subies with automatics, you can disable the all wheel drive system with a fuse, making it front wheel drive. Unfortunately, that won't work with a stick. At least on a subaru, you can remove the prop shaft that sends power to the front wheels and put in something that is more like a conventional driveshaft, making the car rear wheel drive if its a stick. But it doesn't seem worth the effort, just to dyno the car for kicks more than anything. I'd like to dyno my car, but converting it to RWD for one pull is too much work.

[CalgarySS]

If any of you have not been to Dynomotive yet, I would really suggest giving it a try.

It was absolutely the best money that I have spent on testing my truck. I have been down to Tomas on several occasions and have seen everyone walk away impressed.

Let me know when this will take place. I can take digital video of anyone who wants it.

Gord.

[Toma]

Its obvious that no date is going to be good for everyone, so....
.....Sunday, March 2nd, 2003. Starts at noon. Probably till 5:00pm.

I will try and do as always and gets some chips and pop and shit happening. I'll make a separate post.

Hope to see as many of you as possible there!

Toma

[syeve]

thanks toma, Ill be there!

[02bump'nWRX]

If the weather is nice and i got the new motor in the vette, i'll try to bring it. Hope no one mids a 1970 corvette showing up!!!
