Mini Dyno Day

clove911 · Jan 18, 2006

Well I am going to make it official. I am dynoing RC4 at JE Import Performance in Baltimore on Feb. 11th at 11am. For any interested I will be there by 10:30 so look for me.There has been many interested but I don't think enough to get a discount so this is more of a day of fun, and maybe a couple people can dyno, not just me. The price as it stands is the normal rate of $75 for three runs. JE Import Performace has a website that you can get directions from. Hope to see a couple people there. I will try to update this as it gets closer to the date. I plan on showing up at 10am. If anyone has any question or wants to come post up or send me a pm. To make it fair on JE need a firm dyno head count by Feb. 8th. There was some talk in another thread about some more people trying to join. I don't want to make anyone feel unwelcome, as everyone is welcome to come. The owner was very cool about setting up a dyno day in the future. Please keep in mind this is a mini dyno day with a major one to take place in May, if interest is good enough. I just didn't want it to turn into a lot of cars since I had already said it was only going to be a couple, if anymore than myself. But there is always room for spectators and fellow tdier's! I want everyone to check it out in the interest of a big dyno day to take place in May sometime. If you do want to dyno please let me know by either posting or sending me a pm, if I don't update fast enough. Thanks again

Due to difficulty with automatic and autostick transmission on this dyno, they will not be able to dyno anyone with a auto transmission. I know it sounds wierd but even in stick mode and all the traction assists turned off, they could not trick the computer into reving high rpm to get a good dyno run. I apologize to anyone that was interested in dynoing.

This will not affect my dyno as I have a 5 speed so please come and enjoy. Also an added not that the shop is not on Rt. 40 but off on a little side street called "Todds Lane." It is in the exact location that any online mapping center will give you directions to.

I might interested.

Hey, that's closer than I thought. Not bad. Nice web site, too. Does the dyno they use bolt into both front wheel hubs? I would imagine it has to or the diff would go nuts.

clove911 · Jan 18, 2006

yeah it bolts to both front hubs and simulates real driving conditions. The control of the dyno is incredable. Whats cool is I don't have to worry about my winter tires being on cause it doesn't use my tires!!!

Exactly what I was thinking about the tires.

BoosTDIt · Jan 18, 2006

nice....i'll definetly come for the show...not sure if i'll be ready to dyno.

clove911 · Jan 23, 2006

I just wanted everyone to know that I am scheduled in so its definantly happening. I talked to him some more and if we were ever interested in a dyno day we would only need 10 people to get a discount. I think sometime in the future we should really think about getting a dyno day at this shop. Good people and great dyno.

BoosTDIt · Jan 23, 2006

And much closer than New England ..lol

Hamsterdiesel · Jan 25, 2006

Hey!

What's wrong with New England?

tomo366 · Jan 25, 2006

New England Sucks.....

Them's fighting words! You know why Boston is called the Hub, don't you?

meganuke · Jan 25, 2006

Because that's how deep the water is in the tunnel?

clove911 · Jan 25, 2006

Theres nothing wrong with New England. Its just really far for a lot of us here in the 3 nieghboring states. It would be cool to get another dyno day around here for us to go to. I'm sure this shouldn't hurt anyones feelings and everyone can go to both if they want. Anyone interested in setting up a dyno day that doesn't conflict with NE dyno day, pm me and we can bounce ideas.

jettafock · Jan 25, 2006

Maybe a spring MD dyno day and a fall NE dyno day.

You know you wish you were here...

Birdman · Jan 25, 2006

I hope to be there but, It has been almost 3 years (8 23 06) since the last multi state dyno GTG we need to plan one. Jeff was logging all the runs to make the chips better for which we all can be grateful plus all the new stuff PD engines plus all the new stuff on the markets, everyone running VNT17s and FMICs lots of changes and we can,t Keep letting those NE bunch beat up on us

all the time they are doing it every year. What does everyone think? Late spring before the summer heat sets in?

clove911 · Jan 26, 2006

Sounds good to me. I'd say we should set something up with Jeff to do it in mid may sometime? THat way my college is out of the way and we can have a good turn out if we plan months in advance.

IndigoBlueWagon · Jan 26, 2006

That would be great, if you'll tolerate an interloper from New England (after all, Peter's been up here). That way I'll get a baseline dyno on my wagon on the 11th and can re-test it with new mods in May.

clove911 · Jan 26, 2006

Well I don't mind anyone showing up. And I'm pretty sure JE won't mind the business! What we can do is wait for this mini day and see how everyone that shows up likes the shop. Then we can have some input as to if this is a good place for a gtg or not. I trust these guys and I know you guys will like it, but one step at a time. Virtually all preperations are mae though. We would just have to pick a date that will work for us and the shop. Then post up and run with it.

clove911 · Jan 30, 2006

please read first post for update

shortysclimbin · Jan 30, 2006

I would also be game for mid may to late may for dino day and jeff to be there! It will be a perfect opening for a gtg before summer!

IndigoBlueWagon · Jan 30, 2006

Put me on the list for a dyno on the 11th. Only a blizzard will keep me away!

mydeathbynapalm · Jan 31, 2006

I could very well be free that day. ***What time of day on the 11th?*** Not sure if I'll Dyno...my stock clutch wimpers when I nail it in 4th.(I believe that's the gear they use)

Would be nice to see some real numbers from these setups as I'm building up my hardware collection at the moment for installation this summer.

clove911 · Jan 31, 2006

I will be there by 10:30am with the dyno scheduled at 11am.

IndigoBlueWagon · Feb 1, 2006

Anywhere I can get premium diesel near the dyno site or north of there? It would be nice to have some decent fuel for the dyno.

jsrmonster · Feb 1, 2006

Hey no biggy. I was actually going to send you an e-mail to ask if you wanted me to log any data during the dyno runs. Keep an eye out though for one in May if all goes to plan.

clove911 · Feb 6, 2006

Bump on monday night. Anyother changes before I give the final number for dynoing

IndigoBlueWagon · Feb 6, 2006

I'm in. Weather looks good, planning on being there around 10-10:30.
