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

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. 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 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 and here are pictures from the last meet and and 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 :)

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

theres a del taco .3 miles away from RET...google maps FTW.

actually theres a shitload of places nearby chipotle, home town buffet, mimis etc all w.in half a mile

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

Sean, can you delete my name off the roster? I'll get rid of it in the thread...

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:

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:

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 :)

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.

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:

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

It should be cool, he said he's shooting for 440rwhp.

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.

I think we already have him convinced actually :D

BGN8711 and I have been working on him for months :sm_laughing:

:bigthumbsup::bigthumbsup:

that truck is blown up.. i don't think it's back together yet...

Hmmm, he signed up and I talked to him about it on Turbo Buick :huh:

maybe he got it together again.. we don't like each other to much :censored:..

THIS IS NOT FAIR !!!!


2wheel drive dyno = :suicide:

I wanna see what my car will run with meth....


ive had the kit for like almost a year now just never had the balls to put it on the car after my tranny let go :bigthumbsup:

o and 3 runs for 45 bucks is so cheap !

Let's just say you might be the victim of inflation in the near future. :nutkick:

I'm hoping to keep the cost down, we'll see.

to ya that truck would be a no show from turbobuick...

Yeah, you were right on. Does that mean we're going to see you there :drink:

i don't see why not now LOL..

don't know if i can make it now.. my friend wants to hit up Vegas for his birthday this weekend... and i start my new job on the 23rd :)

Saw this on Audizine. Registered and registered. Looking forward to it.

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.

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.

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:
