Multi-model Dyno Day and Motorgen Meet February 21, 2009

[SeanPlunk]

Hey everyone,

Instead of doing a cruise this month, we've decided to do a dyno day at Racers Edge Tuning on Saturday, February 21st. The plan is to be at the shop from 9a.m. to 5p.m. on the dyno, and then we will caravan over to our normal meeting spot at Nick's Burger in Fullerton for the meet between 6:00p.m. and 6:30p.m. The address for RET is:

Racers Edge Tuning
11434 Downey Ave Downey Ca 90241
562-445-7001

and the address for Nick's Burger is:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

For the dyno day the shop can handle a maximum of 45 cars. The cost for the dyno is 3 pulls for $45. For all those planning on running their cars I am requiring everyone to register here. (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1184&day=2009-2-21&c=1) In order to register you must be a registered user on the site. Registration is extremely easy and should take you less than 45 seconds. If anybody has a problem signing up or registering please shoot me an email at SeanPlunk@gmail.com. For all those that sign up, please bring cash on the dyno day. Exact change is preferred as it allows the guys at RET to cycle through the cars faster and reduces down time.

I am really looking for a wide variety of different makes and models to keep things interesting, so please don't hesitate to sign up regardless of what you drive. Sorry to our AWD friends, but this dyno is only for FWD and RWD vehicles (if you want to stop by the shop and hang out though, we'd love to have you along). For all the participants we will be taping every car run. We will not only be taping the car itself, but we'll have a second camera on the computer monitor as it spits out the results. We'll cut the two sets of videos together after the meet and all the videos will be posted in our videos section afterwards.

At the shop we will provide some sodas and water. As far as lunch is concerned we haven't decided what we want to do yet, but I'm including a poll on the main thread here (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1097) so please vote if you're coming and we'll make a decision in the next week or two.

We've had a lot of fun at the meets with a really wide variety of cars and all makes and models. We're looking for the same diversity for this, so I hope to see you all out there. Here (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13370&postcount=114) and here (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13371&postcount=115) are pictures from the last meet and Motorgen - Videos - Turnbull Canyon Run Motorgen Meet January 10, 2009@@AMEPARAM@@value="file=/vid/data/532/TurnbullCanyon1.flv&@@AMEPARAM@@532@@AMEPARAM@@TurnbullCanyon1.flv and Motorgen - Videos - Turnbull Canyon Run and Motorgen Meet January 10, 2009 Part 2@@AMEPARAM@@value="file=/vid/data/532/TurnbullCanyon2.flv&@@AMEPARAM@@532@@AMEPARAM@@TurnbullCanyon2.flv are videos from our last cruise. Whether you want to dyno or you just want to hang out with a bunch of cars guys, I hope to see you on Feb. 21st :)

[SeanPlunk]

I voted pizza because it's easy, but if we can get enough people the taco truck sounds good :D

[Chate]

[Chate]

There are lots of places, I just wanted to make it easy on people. If we do pizza or taco truck then the food comes to us :D

I'm not sure I can actually, but we'll figure out something :rolling:

We'll miss you and Kera though - have fun snowboarding :bigthumbsup:

[SoCalC55]

if there are alot of fast food places around i say darwinsim

[SeanPlunk]

if there are alot of fast food places around i say darwinsim

It looks like we're headed that direction, which is fine with me if that's what people want :bigthumbsup:

[Chate]

we're all gonna end up following whoever leads to the same fast food joint anyway, so whoever gets hungry first (and is a good decision maker) will decide where we eat :)

[silvertermi04]

Thats what we did the last 2 times, we just took about half an hour of the time we were there and we to get some grub.

[SeanPlunk]

We already have some really cool stuff coming, I'm stoked. We have an insane Turbo Buick truck, a magnacharged Pontiac G8, and IS300 with a Supra motor swap, and much more. It's going to be a fun day :bigthumbsup:

[Chate]

Sweet!! I've been reading about blown G8s :drool: i cant wait!

[SeanPlunk]

Need to talk the hot rod 335i into doing some pulls! I'll be up to my neck in 1040's but I'd sure love to see video of that and it would be very cool to see the #'s.

Welcome to the board Ryan. Now tell me about your car :D

I see you have a 03 VW GTI with a HX35 turbo. How much boost are you running and what are the details? My buddy is a Volkswagen freak, he's going to love seeing your car.

[sandiegobmx]

Not sure how much boost I'll be running...somewhere around 20psi. Just looking to get a baseline number with the new turbo. 1.8L 20valve, rods, cams, water/methanol injection, 8.5k rpm...I'll be happy with around 350whp or so at the dyno day. Goal is 400whp on pump gas, but not sweating it at the moment.

Thanks for the hospitality!

Wow, that sounds like a pretty stout setup. My brother has a Turbo Buick with methanol and I think he's running about 20psi also. So the motor is fully built? How much do GTi's weigh, like 3000lbs?

I didn't know those were 5 valve motors. Guess that has something to do with them still making power with forced induction that high in the rev range.

[sandiegobmx]

Motor has rods, cams, springs, and lifters. Nothing super crazy...the head flows pretty good up top, but definitely could use a lot of work, haha. I just started rev'n to 8.5k, so it'll be interesting to see what it does that high.

Are these dyno days frequent? I'm always looking for discounts on dynojet dyno days, hah.

I think going forward we'll do them at least 2x a year. Probably one for FWD/RWD only, and then an AWD/RWD/FWD one as well. I'll keep you posted :drink:

I know of one other car with 5 valves per cylinder in the last 15 years, can you name it?

Yugo?

[SeanPlunk]

Yugo?

I think Yugo's might have 5 valves total, but certainly not 5 per cylinder :nutkick:

[BRUTAL64]

Mitsubishi were the first to market an engine with five valves per cylinder, with the 548 cc 3G81 engine in their Minica Dangan ZZ kei car in 1989:nutkick::nutkick:

Your a PIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rant: I suppose you want the color of the car also????????????

[BRUTAL64]

Volkswagen, Audi, Ferrari and Yamaha/Toyota have subsequently introduced five-valve engines as well. It is arguable if five valve configuration gives any benefit over four valve designs:crutches::crutches::crutches::crutches: :crutches::rant:

So what was the FIRST car company to built an OHV engine?



See, I can do this also.:smack:

I bet you it was a Kraut-mobile of some kind, round about the time Herr Otto came up with the Otto cycle. :huh:

I believe the answer is Chrysler.

I also believe Chrysler will be the answer to the question "which one of the big 3 went under first." It's really sad :bang:

That was actually going to be my first guess, but I actually think it is wrong. Maybach was "mass producing" these in the late 1800s. Perhaps it depends on what you're calling a "car company". When did Caddy come out with this engine? Must have been early 1900s I'mma guess'n.

Going by memory, I think about 1916 or 15 there abouts. Can't swear on this though.:rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure our German pals were cranking them out long before that for their "horseless carriages" and whatnot. I think the 1916 Caddy has another major claim to fame though. It was the first car to be laid out like what we think of as a car, that is clutch, brake, accelerator, with a gear shift in the center, etc. An Englishman used this as the base for making a cheaper version which in turn was licensed to the Germans and Japanese, et. al. (forgot the names). These, not the Model T were the first mass produced cars in the form of a car we would recognize still today. That Caddy might also have been the first car with an electric starter and a key, but I'm not positive.

Basicly stock srt4 with stage3r turbo/pcm up grade.can't wait to see the different types of high hp cars that are goinig to show up.

What kind of numbers are you expecting? Somewhere around 280whp? I can never remember what each stage does for SRT's :)

[fatman 04 srt4]

more like 350+hp and 350+ tq :thumbs_up:
and thanks happy to be on this site.

[SeanPlunk]

more like 350+hp and 350+ tq :thumbs_up:

Damn, that's impressive :hail:

What does the Stage 3 kit do exactly?

[fatman 04 srt4]

It's a factory up grade plug n play setup .It comes with a larger turbofold(turbo and manifold combined) lager injectors ,pcm upgrade with 3 bar tip and map sensors and higher pressure fuel system...toys wich allow a person to adjust boost from 1 to 3settings 8 psi the lowest to about 20 psi the highest. hom (high octane mode ) allows more timing but can only be used with 100 +++ octane. so thats it:bigthumbsup:

Are you running on 100+ octane or are those numbers for 91? Also, how does the turbofold work? Is the header and turbo actually one piece?

[fatman 04 srt4]

Yes the turbo and manifold are one but the 02 housing is separate that part can be enlarged easily for better flow. the CHR can be removed for servicing as well. does that make any sense? sorry that I can't explain it any better.

I never dynoed the car on regular 91 octane but I always mix alittle 100 octane unleaded fuel with 91 octane unleaded the car just runs alot smoother.

Have you ever considered doing methanol injection? That's what my brother is using on his Turbo Buick. He'll be at the dyno day (as long as he fixes his power master in time) so you can check it out. Vettezuki also mixes Torco with his gas for a little extra octane.

[fatman 04 srt4]

I used methanol / water injection awhile back but I had problems with it killing my throttle position sensor and idle circuit solenoid .:mad:

How strange :( I don't think the TurboBuicks/Grand Nationals have that problem. My brother did have a problem with an improper ground though and the pump kept shorting...

It was fine once wired correctly. Simply an installation problem.

I think too much alcohol involved in the install - and not the alcohol in the tank :rolling:

My brother too - he saw one and that was it. He's owned two now - his first one got stolen at the Brea mall :mad:

When you say heads and cam LS1 it refers to an LS1 engine with aftermarket heads and cam :p

Thank you for clearing that up.:p

Now when someone says they have a 3/4 Race cam-- what does that mean? Why would anyone put a cam that is too short in their engine? Wouldn't you want a full lenght cam?????:confused:

Thank you for clearing that up.:p

Now when someone says they have a 3/4 Race cam-- what does that mean? Why would anyone put a cam that is too short in their engine? Wouldn't you want a full lenght cam?????:confused:

.750" lift cam?

Welcome Steve. Now I have to ask you what I ask every new person - what's done to your car :D

stock motor, a 66mm turbo, and not enough fuel lol. the power gets transferred through a ACT 6 puck clutch to a Quaife 6 speed transmission with Quaife LSD and ARP bolt kit. car sits on Bilstein PSS9's. I'm limited by my small injectors but I'm shooting for 425+whp on pump (where it starts to lean up a little). Who knows, I might get a little crazy when I get to the dyno and throw in some VP MS109 that I have sitting in the garage and play with fire.

Wow Steve, it sounds pretty serious :)

How bad is the torque steer with that much power?

This may also be a dumb question, but injectors aren't that expensive usually, why don't you just swap in a bigger set?

hey guys ill be there. wont be dynoing,but just to hangout and checkout the kicka$$ rides.

Would still like to make it, but I'm a bit iffy. Bad sequence of events with the postal service and some other stuff may have me out. Is it importatnt to un-register so other people can get in?

If you have a strong inclination you won't make, yes, please delete registration. Sorry we don't yet have a little more sophisticated handling of event registration . . . in the works. For now, it's an in or out system.

Sorry to hear about your problems, is it anything major? It'll be a bummer if you can't make it, but I know how it goes. My brother is only 50/50 too because he's waiting for his new power master to arrive in the mail :bang:

[Chate]

Troubles on my side as well, got a new job :) but they start me this wknd :( theres a conference in anaheim this weekend so i'm hoping i can use that as an excuse to at least visit you guys on saturday, but its a new job so i'm afraid!!

I surrender my spot, but if I can drop by to visit later in the day i'll try!

I removed you from the list.

[SeanPlunk]

I'm waiting to hear from Greg and then I'm going to hash out a schedule here shortly. I'll post it when I'm done and bump all the other threads as well.

[SeanPlunk]

Alright everyone, 72 hour bump. For those attending, I am trying to work a schedule with basically 5 cars going per hour from 9 until 6 with an hour lunch break either at noon or 1. If anyone has a preference for what part of the day they would like to try to go please post it in this thread. (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1097)

I will do my best to accommodate everyone but it may not be perfect. I will wait for those attending to reply either today or tomorrow before putting the schedule together on Friday. Also for those attending please try to bring exact change because it allows things to move more quickly when Greg isn't having to go make change for everyone. Remember it's $45 for the 3 pulls. Also remember if you guys have extra folding chairs to bring those too. You'll get tired of standing after an hour or two and there isn't enough room in the waiting area for all of us at one time. We're planning on setting up some tables outside though so people can hang out. We still have about 10 spots left to dyno if anyone else would like to come and join us. Please sign up here if you're interested. (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1184&day=2009-2-21&c=1)

After we finish at the dyno we're going to cruise over to Nick's Burger for the meet and should arrive before 6:30p.m. Nick's is in Fullerton for anyone who wants to come join us. Here is the address:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

If anyone has any questions shoot me an email or give me a call. All my info is in the OP. Thanks again everyone.

Hey what's up it's Carlos from solsticeforum.com

We had talked about me having to be at work and having to go early.

Can I get a slot at 10am ? I dont really want to be first...but i figure 10am i'd be about 5th in line. I need to be in Whittier by 11am so as long as I leave RET by 10:30 i'll be fine :)

Carlos, I'll definitely add it on. I'm going to schedule in certain slots if requested and then I'll leave the other slots as first come, first serve.

Sweet man thanks !!!

I just got HP Tuners today so I gotta get a new tune uploaded. The car was acting funky after putting on an Intake.

[AdamVIP]

Don't go breaking your car before this weekend Deep. Theres cruising to be done.

Id like a late morning slot if available. Sometime right before lunch.

I'm keeping track in a spreadsheet here. (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p6VwfBgc7tSy6VH6bYisJHw) As people request certain times I'll update it. For the slots that are open we'll just do first come, first serve throughout the rest of the day for the remaining registered users.

I think a good size group of us will be there all day if people just want to stop by and hang out for a while :)

Hey Ian,

I have only added people with preference on the spreadsheet so far. Everyone else we'll just kind of manage on a first come, first serve basis. Your car is beautiful by the way. Do you have long tubes, or just a midpipe and catback? Just curious. I think you'll have no problem hitting 450rwhp. Bring ice to ice the blower down :D

I see, well then I have really no preference on when I run.

Thank you very much, shes my baby...

And im really looking for a real world hp number.. never will i be able to ice my blower on the freeway or anything like that.. so i prob wont.

I am interested however in octane booster. What kind of gains have you seen from before and after. I have tried the Lucas brand as i was reccomended it and found it smooths out the car. I wouldnt imagine i would have ample time to put it in after the 2nd run and wait long enough for it to mix properly right?

Also, are these runs going to be with a wideband read out? I appologize if it was covered but i havent read through the 13 pages.. lol

My mod list:
MGW Orange Shifter
Aftermarket clutch
K&N Intake
TR6's
Fiore Micro Click Clutch Quadrant
2.8 Steeda Pulley
Billet Flow Idler
Invictus/APS cooling head mod
Maximum motorsports 4 point roll cage
Cobra R brembo's
Russell stainless lines
Hawk Pads in rear
Amazon racing tune
Full Bassani Exhaust (mid-lengths, catted x-pipe, and cat back)
Full Synthetics
Water Weter
Ram-air drier tube from bumper to K&N

I have a lot of the same mods, but you have more :hail:

They can do wideband if you already have a dongle for it and they can get to it easily as I recall.

I'm not big on octane boosters - the bottle stuff isn't supposed to do much of anything. If you're using something like Torco though that would do it. I'm not sure why you would need it actually. Did you actually get a dyno tune or did you mail order a chip from amazon?

Well thanks, far from as many as i want though.. :nuts:

Well i suppose i could pull a o2 from my x if they want to put it in there..no tail pipe wideband? Obviously it would be a little less effective after cat but i would like to log the A/F to check them..

I dont run a booster a lot but i had a tuning issue and found it (did) make the issue go away. Found out my plug gap was too tall. Took them down to .28 and my studder/chug went away.

I have been to the dyno i think like 4 or 5 times now. Every time i just send Rick at amazon my log files and he adjusts as necessary. So its kinda both :D

Apparently per the svtp site there are two more cars going that have almost 1000hp a 2valve and 4 valve.. pretty excited to see that!

Hmmm. I don't think Greg does wideband out the tailpipe generally. I don't know why you would be having tuning issues. I have a 2.76 upper with a K&N, a UPR catted x midpipe, and borla stingers and my tune has never had any problems that I've noticed. What kind of issues are you seeing?

[Ian]

Well not so much issues since I have gotten my latest tune.

I have about 7k miles on my plugs and im just going to replace them to take that out of the equation. I was getting spark blow out (i think) before i re-gapped them and thought possibly it was injectors or possibly it was my tune. He sent me a new tune with 5% more fuel and a little less timing up top after i mentioned it to him. All seems well but ocasionally i will get a little "hickup" when its pulling usually from 4000-5500 somewhere in that range.

The first few times i was on the dyno (originally before these problems) it was in the lean range further then i would have liked. So i sent him the logs, he adjusted and i went back a few times till we got to where i am now. It has since gotten better but being that they are not cheap motors being spot on would be great for me.

I can only assume with the headers it makes the car harder and different to tune then others without?

oh and nice mods! i cant wait to hear what your car sounds like.

Hey it looks like this site is growing fast! Yea it has been awhile but the Z is still running good.

Are you going to be at the event all day?

Yeah, I'll be there for sure all day. I know what you mean about your car. I feel the same way about everything - I don't want to spend any money unless I have to because I'm nervous about the way things are going. I think we're doing an AWD dyno day in April if you want to get your car done and then we'll do Angeles Crest again in May I think. Lots of stuff coming up - good times :drink:

Hey Sean, so they didnt log the air fuel ratio ? I sent my dyno graph to my tuner and he requested to see the AF ratio. If there is any way possible to get it please let me know.

Also keep me up dated on any meets or dyno days coming up. I really like to cruise but the only day i can is on Sundays so try to set up a Sunday cruise. I dont care if it's 6 hours straight lol. I just want to drive !

[blumnday99]

I don't think they were monitoring A/F.

[Vettezuki]

I don't think they were monitoring A/F.

They weren't it's part of the reason why "sometimes" they could move quickly through cars. I'm afraid your tuner is out of luck on the A/F. :(

Oh and now he wants me to help him build a LS C3 Vette like Ben (Vettezuki) has. I must say an LS engine looks great in a C3

Oh, and I didn't hit 460RWHP, but I was very happy with the results overall. I put down 454 RWHP and 462 RWTQ. More importantly though I picked up 10 to 30 rwhp and tq throughout the entire rev range. Greg had my old graph from last time and the difference is fairly dramatic. I love my Cobra :judge:

and JB3 is going to come out with 1.3v soon so wait till next month to get it. Your grandpa will love it for sure. Would love to do some canyon run with u guys too. Please let me know when you guys r going. Thanks:hail:

$400 you say? Hmmmm, maybe I can convince the family to chip in for his birthday. What other mods did you have? I noticed an intake cone, but I didn't notice if you have exhaust or not?

I got it used, but for new one is about $629. Used is better it's cheaper here's the link http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=177
try to look for JB3 PNP and the price is around $350-$425 don't pay more then that. Yes I have Logic HVI intake and chip only. If I have DP and IC would gain lots more number.:thumbs_up:

Wow, just an intake and chip for 324 rwhp and 345 rwtq - that's awesome. Maybe I'll get him an intake for father's day. I think he wants to wait for the warranty to go out before doing the chip. Thanks for the advice on finding the chip.

As far as upcoming events if you want to come run at California Speedway on the 7th we'll be there, and then we're also doing probably a PCH cruise and meet on the 14th :drink:

On the 7th will be there for sure cause I was going to run my car on that day too. It will be lots of fun and go easy on me out on the track ok guys. LOL

LOL, trust me, no judgement. My first pass in the Cobra was a 14.3 :bigthumbsup:

Even now my best in it is only a 12.7 in a car that should be able to run low 12's/high 11's :suicide:

Yes, there will be no judgement. Except for every time I'm faster than you in my NA Vette than you are in a pullied Cobra, at which point all bets are off. :smack: Anyway, it seems except for very dialed in cars and drivers, nobody does the times they should at the street legals at Fontana.

I'll roll race you on the freeway if you want (haha, I sound like a Supra driver).

Hey Guys,

I put my photos in a new thread (as I kinda went crazy with the camera and have quite a few photos). They can be seen here.

Take care,

I want to say like 530+- WHP? :huh: But I'm not positive.

BTW, while my hands are a bit full with our project car at the moment, RX-Snake (http://motorgen.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=130), I'm definitely down for helping you and Ben on an LSx Powered C3 if you choose to go that route since it's a subject I actually know something about. Doubly so for anyone who's put skin in the game for our country. :hail:

Close, I did 520 rwhp and just a little less than that torque, which is about where I had hoped it would run. I'm going to mount the new tires I have tomorrow since the ones that were on there were GONE!

Why don't we do a top speed run. Oh, that's right, your car might blow up. Sorry.

How's that for a nutkick? :pot_stir:

How about a top speed run through the end of 4th :thumbs_up:

Ill do a top speed run, done it before i even knew of that problem(or so called problem), to bad that by the top of my 4th gear it will be enough for my rear lights to blind ur eyes lol :pot_stir:

[silentbob97]

Yea thanks Sean it was a great turnout! There were some pretty sick setups there. I think a couple turbos I saw there could power a small jet aircraft they were so big. Hopefully for the next Dyno event I will have my new turbos, injectors and the kahones to Dyno mine.:D

[silentbob97]

BTW did anyone see Matt re-dyno his Black Cobra after missing on the first run? I think he was the last one to run.

[Phazewun]

the 04 that was being tuned ???

yes he did 475 rwhp

[SeanPlunk]

the 04 that was being tuned ???

yes he did 475 rwhp

He told me that was STD. I wonder what his SAE numbers were?

[Phazewun]

466 SAE

but he DID put down 475 that was just with ice and cold weather :smack:

[silentbob97]

Sweet! So then the plugs must have been the problem.:bigthumbsup:

[Phazewun]

Well i think it was a combination of that and the crap tune or stock map.

[SeanPlunk]

Sweet! So then the plugs must have been the problem.:bigthumbsup:

No, the problem was 15psi on a stock computer designed for 8psi. I have honestly heard it's impossible to run a 2.8 upper pulley without a tune. Usually you'd blow your motor real quickly doing that. I'm glad he had Greg tune it and his numbers are very nice :bigthumbsup:

[Phazewun]

Ya he was stoked all in all a very good day :drink:

[nordy racer]

It was really good to see you guys again, it had been a while. Good luck at training and we'll see you when you get back. Are you down to do Angeles Crest again in May?

can't make the May drive.. i'm not going to be back from training..

[SeanPlunk]

can't make the May drive.. i'm not going to be back from training..

When do you get back? It seems wrong to go without you - after all you were on the inaugural cruise last year :drink:

A slight reschedule may have to be in order :thumbs_up:

not coming back in till mid July.... thanks for thinking of me :)

Nordy, I'm no math whiz or anything, but mid July seems like a whole lot more than 5 weeks - is the training multi-part or something? Maybe we'll have to do a 1st Annual Welcome Back Nordy Bonfire when you get home in July :bigthumbsup:

i'm doing 4 weeks of "in house" training, then i'm shipped off for 16 weeks of more training.. firearms, hand to hand, PT, studying and stuff like that.. then when i get back, i'm on 4 months of OTJ training.. DAMN :judge:
