2nd Annual Platteville Dyno Day April 30th, 2011

[3L3M3NT]

I should bring the Yukon down. Interesting to see what some mods to it will do. Honestly.....I LIKE that big truck. It's a 96' so its got the Vortec 350 so it's got some and it's 5134lbs compared to the new ones at 5800+. Did a bunck of suspension upgrades already. While it's not a lowered modded Jetta it'll hustle for a truck. I digress....

Bring it! I'd be interested to see what it puts down.

 

[ducesrwld]

will someone have vag-com at this event? might try to set up a few different tunes while here?

 

[Fix_Until_Broke]

I will

 

[FlashandFlare]

Pencil me in, always been curious to what I been putting down.

Gotcha on the list.

 

[Guz15]

Gotcha on the list.

Put me down too.

I will have my new 11mm pump in. Maybe even a new tune from VWMike.

I'm pretty interested to see Richards car, since he added all the upgrades Hopefully he finds this thread, otherwise I'll send him a pm encase he missed it.

Actually Charlie told me about the thread this morning. I do want in!

So sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you will have a complete recovery. I fractured C2 when I rolled my Dodge off a bluff top road 5 years ago & spent a couple of months in a halo brace. It's no fun.

 

[JasonCzerak]

What kind of dyno is this?

edit.

damn, that's a hike from the cities. maybe.

 

[darkhorse]

It's a Mustang double roller type. It's at the engineering school. I can't answer for eric about your truck but I bet it's ok. I'd sure like to see it.

 

[JFettig]

Thats quite the long drive but I'm interested.

Maybe car pool with Nick.

Yeah my C4 was shattered during the accident and its no fun, but glad to be alive.

I'll add you to the list

Yep, it's a Mustang dyno http://www.mustangdyne.com/MD-250.htm

Oh come on it's only 4 hours from the cities............... lol That's close to how long it takes me to get down to Platteville.

 

[Curious Chris]

My Georgia Peach and I will probably make it just for fun. No need for dyno as the only mod I have made is a Wavetrac differential.

 

[darkhorse]

Chris, you put in the Whitbread down pipe.

 

[Curious Chris]

Chris, you put in the Whitbread down pipe.

True I so Chris add me to the list as it would be a test of better breathing. So sign me up.

It will help add to or answer the question of does a larger down pipe increase hp.

 

[JFettig]

Better get that 11mm IP swapped onto there too to make this dyno run worth it

 

[ducesrwld]

got a pallet of goodies coming in this week from across the pond. should have all parts by the end of the week and car should be going under the knife soon.

It would be awesome to have you make the trip. I know there are a few people from your area that are considering making the trip

Added you to the list Chris

3l3m3nt,

If I bring my truck, you can fit a long wheel base truck right? 170"+ wheel base. single rear wheel.

Exhaust is right rear exit only 5" (turbo back too..). Should I consider bringing some additional tubes to route the exhaust out a garage door?

This truck can smoke a little more then your average overfueled TDI while under the charger.

 

[darkhorse]

Jason, The school has a fan driven exhaust recovery system with a huge hose.

 

[Fix_Until_Broke]

The front of the truck may stick outside (you'll back it in), but you shouldn't have any other troubles.

Depending on how cranked up your truck is, you might want to check out the link to the dyno - it's only rated for 900 HP continuious / 1500 HP dynamic

 

[JasonCzerak]

some of these car dyno's only have a 4" hose or something to wrap around the exhaust. just making sure.

As for the HP. I should be under that 900 number by a little bit. I won't intend on keeping it at full load for more then a few seconds ;-)

I've never been on a mustang dyno. so I'm curious as to how it will read compared to a dynojet or a dyno dynamics. hmm. I've got a few other odds and ends I need to take care of first but I'm seriously considering the long drive.

 

[darkhorse]

It's a beautiful drive. Head south on hwy 61 to 10. Cross the river to Prescott & take WI 35 to Nelson. Cross again to Wabasha & back on 61 LaCresent/Lacrosse. It's relativly fast & picturesque.

Like others have mentioned length won't be the issue and I don't see a problem with the exhaust, but I can double check, so that way you don't make the drive for nothing. I'm actually quite excited to see your truck run

Volks:

I drove out from the Chicago area last year and it was a nice ride. The scenery gets better the farther west you go! I stopped out just to see what was happening because I didn't figure putting my box stock A5 on the dyno was worthwhile. Met some nice folks though, and it's always good to talk to Chris and his better half T, aka the Georgia Peach. Maybe I'll take another ride out this year.

[JasonCzerak]

I'm excited to see it run too lol

 

[6x6man]

Can you put me on the list as a maybe. If I can make it I'd like to know what my car is putting out, but not sure if I can get out of prior plans.

 

[mctdi]

Sorry to hear of your injuries. Hoping they heal quickly and correctly.

Please add me to the list.

Thanks,
