Feeler for Portland New Years eve Dyno day

[Renny_D]

I'm looking to see if we can put together a Dyno Day up in Portland on the 7th. So here's the deal.

Requirements - 8 cars or more (edit: not needed anymore as the price is confirmed no matter how many show up)
Cost - will be 50 for three pulls with a a/f graph.
Place - Torque Freaks in Portland

Dyno Type 4 wheel.

Who is interested. We would need to put this together by the end of next week to guarantee the tech and the time. So all you North Westerners who didn't get 1/4 times for the west at least we can represent with some real nos for our cars.
Peter how about real nos for your new a/w intercooled beast ;-)

Lemme know.

Thanks
Renny

EDIT:
We are booked so the more the merrier. Bring your ride and get some nos.

Count is : 9 confirmed, 3 maybes

those going:
me
Coldfusion - expressed interest please confirm
Kyle
Jonathan
Nchoy - Confirmed
Ottrod - maybe
Nathan - confirmed with friend Jimmy who owns a 91 camaro - we get to check us out against a V8.
Pat - confirmed for one possible 2.
Seth - Maybe
Richard - confirmed
Shayne - confirmed

Thanks
Renny

[coldfusion21]

im interested...

[klr142]

F it. I'm in.

[Inc3pt]

Ill watch :-D , nothing to dyno at the moment :-(

[klr142]

V15 NA Auto '91 106k b230 REPRESENT! Almost done with the cam swap... :)

[ottrod]

MMMMMMMMM. I'll let you know by the end of the week If I can come down. I'm swaping a B230FTi into my 240 DL right now and would like to see how it runs but short on cash right now due to the swap and rebuilding my 850.

[Renny_D]

So right now we are at 4 cars. Half way there folks. Just a question but if we pushed this out till early January would this help us get more people and make it easier for any of you folks still working on stuff? Lemme know.

Thanks
Renny

[NChoy]

What's with the 20th? Is that date dead?

[Renny_D]

What's with the 20th? Is that date dead?
Depends on if this pans out. We are still scheduled there and I'm keeping that open if this doesn't fill up by the end of this week. If all goes well I might do both :-)

Thanks
Renny

[klr142]

I can't really go unless it's a national holiday or a Saturday... And of course, January would be better for me and probably most others monetary wise... :)

[Stereophile33]

I can now to both the 20th and the 31st...whichever one works out.

let me know.

Jonathan

[NChoy]

Got the catalog... lots of cool stuff! But nothing I can really use now.

I did order from Discount Stereo Online the PA-HON-10 iPod controller and adapter for the V70R. Evidently you switch to the disc changer and all controls for the iPod happen at the head unit through the LCD read out. Hope it works as advertised.

[Renny_D]

Getting feedback now from the folks at OVT that this would be better on the 7th. Does that work for every one? Lemme know so I can do a new tally.

Thanks
Renny

[Stereophile33]

Wow, i can do the 7th as well.

nick just got one going to try it this week

[NChoy]

nick just got one going to try it this week

Let me know how it works... what car/stereo are you using it in?

Mine is an SC-901.

BTW, I may be able to make the Jan. 7 dyno w/my V70R.

[wiggin]

i would be able to do the 7th .. but i dont really have a dyno-worthy car.. are we limiting it to volvos? cause ive got a few friends who would probably like to dyno their camaros?

[Renny_D]

Would like to limit it to us Volvo folks unless we can't get the 8 required for the weekend special. Lets hold off on opening this up just yet.

Thanks
Renny

[Stereophile33]

Renny,
We typically have a tough time getting 8. How many do you have confirmed now?

Jonathan

[klr142]

I'm good for the 7th as well... Just messed around with my intake a bit tonight, sure feels like it freed up the top end a decent bit. :)

[Renny_D]

Renny,

Jonathan

We have three confirmed and 4 maybes so if they say yes we are only one away :-)

Crossing my fingers for the 7th

thanks
Renny

[Renny_D]

We are only one or three away from making this happen on the 7th. Come on and confirm those of you who expressed interest. And those of you still thinking about this come we only need a couple more of you folks so I can book this.

Thanks
Renny

[310]

I'm interested, I'll either do the Opel, or do some more tuning on the 240 and see if I can beat the previuos 237 number. Either way let me know the details and I'll clear the time with my Parol officer.

[valvesprung]

I'll deffinately roll down, but not strappin' to the dyno. I'm broke and have cheaper connections anyway. What time are we talking?

[CountOfNowhere]

Not gonna dyno my car, but Renny_D, as I was riding around West Linn with my friend I saw what I think was your car parked outside... freaked me out a bit :)

"Yummy... nice 960"
"huh? Hydras?"
"The ****? 740 rear end?"
"Ohhhh... that's Renny's car"

It looks nice! Welcome to the area. Wave if you see a dirty black 940 on Volans!

Cool the deal is 50 bucks 3 pulls with a/f read out. It'll be the morning of the 7th not sure when we'll start still have to work out the details. If this pricing and timing work are you definately in? If so then with all the maybes we'll have 8. Common folks commit.. Probably sound like some one's girlfriend...lol.

Thanks hopefully later this year a paint job will have it looking the way it should. I'll definately wave next time your Volan shod 940 rolls by. Why not dyno? More the merrier :-)

'Cause... Nothing I can really change, and the car runs like ass. I'll wait until I megasquirt to dyno...

How are you liking Portland and the surrounding metro areas?

That is the weakest excuse I've EVER HEARD!!! That is all the MORE excuse TO go to the dyno. So hop on it with us, so you can brag how much better MS is than LH2.4 that your car currently has. ;-) And brag about your tuning skillz and what not. It's not as if you don't need a baseline anyway! You just don't want to get embarrased by my NA autotragic 244...

:rofl: You're so not cool if you don't dyno!!!! Do it do it do it do it do it How can you even show your face around here? Just go away if you're not going to dyno!!!

[Renny_D]

I want to confirm with the shop by the end of this week so you folks on the fence please chime in ya or na. I think it's a cool way to start off my year and I'm going either way but I'd sure like to meet more of the Pacific North Wet volvo community. Hope to see at least 8 of you there.

Thanks
Renny

[klr142]

I'm in. $50 is a good deal, hell yeah I'm in. If you aren't in, you SUCK! This is for the 7th correct?

*sob* I am a disgrace to the Volvo world (well, seriously... I have no exhaust and crappy paint and my car doesn't run so well...)

I need free time. That unpaid week off work was useless... in too much pain to do a thing. I'm very very angry at that person that ****ed up my back. Ow.

Do you mean that you have nothing after the turbo or downpipe or do you mean the exhaust is stock. What else is wrong with it? Maybe with all the minds that will attend we can figure it out and get it running better. Maybe some fun with an mbc since you will have access to a/f ratios you could wring a little more out of the car. Come anyway even if you aren't going to run you just never know what may happen with pricing and available dyno time.

Sorry about your back been there and it sucks to have back injuries.



I read in another event thread that Seth just swapped in a newish turbo motor - he gonna get some numbers on it?

What about the rest of the folks that said they were interested when Nick first opened his dyno day thread - wa happened - where are they?

Gonna finalize this thing Friday so common and get a few others to come. Wiggin at this point talk to your V8 american iron powered buddies as we can't seem to pull it together with just volvo folks. Maybe them V8 fellers will give us something to shoot for and maybe we'll surprise them abit ;-)

I called Seth earlier today, and MIGHT've convinced him to come. He said he'll say for sure on Friday. I can try and bugger my friend with his 240SX to come again too. He made it to the last one, and since then we've replaced all of the ignition components and put on a huge exhaust... BUT, on the other side, it's developed some other problems... One of which is surely a clogged PCV valve, but it's SO impossible to get to! I'll ask'm.

[Tuff240]

I'll do one car for sure. Maybe 2. I'll know about the 2nd spot on the 27th.

[NChoy]

If the weather is nice and I can get someone to drive my 745Ti up there, I might dyno two cars.

Just kidding... maybe you can drive my V70R.

[Stereophile33]

I am in for one.

too bad we cannot get this in for east vs. west by the end of this year.

But we will at least have a start for next year.

Jonathan

[Renny_D]

Folks we are booked and guaranteed the 50.00 fee no matter how many show up. They are also willing to give us a place to set up a BBQ or something like that although with this cold maybe a George Forman Grill inside would be better. So other than gawking at dyno runs do we want to have food etc at this first event of the new year for the OVT crowd?

Lemme know folks.

Thanks
Renny

Can I drive it? Huh? Huh? Can I can I? At least once around the block near Torque Freaks ;-)

You can drive my POS..

See you all there. Lemme know on the food and stuff.

I wouldn't be scared to drive it alone, but I would definately be scared to drive it with others on the road. I would NOT want to be the one that cracks up that car...

[Renny_D]

Well I hope Nick brings it as that is what I would like my front end to look like. I'm looking forward to this.

Thanks

If weather is nice and clear and roads are relatively dry, I may bring the 7... but only if the R is not ready to run. I'm sorta running out of time here... I have to put the R back together (interior) install the boost gauge and get the clear shield put on, but I leave for two weeks in Hawaii on the 23rd. So many things to do and so little time...

[klr142]

So many things to do and so little time...
Want some help? I don't have any plans for tomorrow... I could make some, but I'll give you first dibs. Lol. Eh? You've got my number.

[NChoy]

Want some help? I don't have any plans for tomorrow... I could make some, but I'll give you first dibs. Lol. Eh? You've got my number.

nah... I pretty much need to talk to Pat and get it up to the shop after work one day so I can do all the install and work on the interior. This working out in the 20-degree wind chill is a real drag. I have the clearshield installation scheduled for Jan. 3 (day after I get back). The iPod stuff should be here any day now, and I just have to get off my lazy ass and install the boost gauge and a-pillar pod, then tint the windows.

[Renny_D]

Still checking on weather we can BBQ or just order in. Pizza delivery has been suggested - any ideas for where if we do do pizza? I'm planning on a cooler full of sodas. Any other ideas.
Lemme know

Thanks
Renny


PS we now have 7 confirmed including one GM V8. Be interested to see if anyone can match his numbers.

[wiggin]

maybe i missed it.. but do we have a time setup for that date yet?

[Renny_D]

maybe i missed it.. but do we have a time setup for that date yet?

We'll be starting at 9 or 9:30 but I dont have the order the cars will be in yet. It's about 20 mins to a half hour per car depending on what fidling is done with the car between runs. I need a list from everybody - what are you bringing:

make, model, year, engine, rwd, fwd or awd, boosted or NA

That will help set up the priorities as they want to have the computer ready before we get there. Is there anyone who needs to go early or late please let me know. Please report back on what you are bringing as I need to give that to them well ahead of time.

Thanks
Renny

[Stereophile33]

I have no time preference.

Will we be allowed to fiddle a little betwixt runs?

Just adjust the base mixture a little each time or something like that?

Yep not time to pull a head or swap a cam or something but monkey with timing and fuel pressures sure. I'll be doing the same.

This date is for Saturday Jan. 7 right? That's what I have scheduled (even though the thread's title says "New Year's Eve".

The car I'll dyno (provided we have enough to keep the per-car price at $50): 1998 V70R, Auto trans, turbocharged 5cyl, single exhaust (for the O2 sensor's benefit).

BTW, I'm dropping this car off at a shop in Clackamas on Jan. 3 to get a clear shield bra put on, and tint the rear window... I may need someone to take me over there that morning to pick it up... any takers?

As to a ride I'm sure I could let me know when and where I would pick you up from.

Sorry I wasn't more clear on my post. I'm okay dropping the car off on the 3rd. A few friends and I are heading up to the mountain to go snowboarding... so I'm taken care of there.

It's the picking up part (when the V70R is done on the 7th) where I need help. I'm going to schedule it to be at that shop from the 3rd to the 7th. Someone want to pick me up at my house and drop me off at the shop in Clackamas? Then I'll follow you up to TorqueFreaks for the dyno event.

Renny,

I think you should also organize something AFTER the dyno runs are over. No point in us all just leaving and going home... maybe we should go out to a late lunch... go bowling... go to a brewpub (the under-21 crowd can order sodas)... maybe a strip club (oops... that's just for me, Tony and Pat)...

I dunno... something fun where everyone can enjoy. Doesn't have to be car-related.

Sounds good to me! I haven't been bowling in forever, and can't really due to my arthritic like hands, but I'd go and do some palm bowling for fun! And Nick, you can't go to the clubs without me... ;-)

Well I'm only good for the morning and very early afternoon that's why I was thinking BBQ or pizzas delivered there - they said we'd be the only ones there so the place would be sort of opened up to us. I've never been there so I don't really know if it would be a cool place to hang. If we were to do pizza can after the dyno where would we go. I'm still new to this town so I need ideas. Lemme know.

thanks

So I'm gonna take this as a confirmation and add you to the list. Cool that officially makes it 8 cars even though we don't need that anymore to get the good price. Maybe I can swing something another discount or tshirts or something.

Thanks
Renny

[klr142]

I've never been there so I don't really know if it would be a cool place to hang.
Hmm, it's not really that big, and there isn't really anywhere to sit down and eat if I remember correctly... If we were to stand up, we could stand up in the shop area or out in the parking lot, but who knows how cold/wet it's going to be... A couple of Pizzas would do the deal, for lunch or so if we were to just stand up there though, maybe while a couple more people dyno if we're still waiting on people to do so. I'm up for whatever though! Should be free all day...

Well I'm up for lunch suggestions after dyno time. With 8 cars we are tops 4 hours so that's still early enough for lunch. If it looks like we'll run long then we order in. So next question is go eat where? If we finish way early then maybe bowling or pool but then again where to go for those things. Suggestions - input ???

Lemme know what you folks think.

Thanks

Nope, you 'drive' your car.

As Kyle said, theres really nowhere to eat there. A tiny office, and then their shop.

[Renny_D]

Some places do. Just wondering have few things to fix might show up.

That would be very cool to see your car there. I'd love to see what that beast puts down.

Inc3pt are you bringing your car? Lemme know.

As far as pool which I really like too - is there a good place that serves food and has no issues with those under 21? Lemme know.

I'm down for shooting some pool. :badboy:

There's a good bowling alley in SE Portland, right off of SE 7th on Belmont. Big parking lot, six or eight pool tables, and all the greasy fried food you want. There's another cool place over near Multnomah Village that has great sandwiches, microbrews, and shuffleboard, but only 4 pool tables (Pat, it's where we went that one time for dinner).

Jonathan... where do you live? I'm trying to make it easier on whomever is going to have to pick me up at my house and take me over to Clackamas to get my R. I live in Tualatin, with easy access to I-205 North (the easiest way to get to where my car will be).

I'd really love to go karting, but that bowling alley sounds like it just may be the ticket... Food, and bowling, and pool!

The place Nick mentioned with the food, pool and bowling sounds perf to me.

Since I've been to neither and you've been to both let me know which one you'd prefer or give me names and I'll run this down and see what will be available table and/or lane wise for around lunch.

Yeah, I just made a post over on OVT, we'll have to arrange for an OVT Karting day sometime early next year, February at the earliest probably...

Which place are you guys talking about in SE?

What is the name?

do you know where IPD is? It is right down the street from here.
205 south to exit 24 go east about a mile past 122nd ave about another 2 blocks and turn left you will see a bunch of volvos in the parking lot. Can't miss it.

[Inc3pt]

Inc3pt are you bringing your car? Lemme know.

Unfortunately, at this exact moment, I dont have a car to bring. Im just coming to watch, sorry. :-(

I'd like to bring some pushrods if it's still open.
May I be included or is it too late?

More the merrier. You won't be the only pushrods there but you'll have only half as many as the next guy ;-) I'll take this as a confirmation you're coming and add you to the list. We'll see you there.

For those looking for the place heres the link.

http://www.torquefreaks.com/contact.php

Our official start time is 9:30. You'll come in sign a waiver of liablity pay the dough and we go. I'll be sending them the list on Wed of next week. Anyone confirming after that will be put at the end of the days runs. Again if you need to run early or run later or will be showing up late - let me know when and I'll try and arrange the schedule. It won't be in stone but if we can stick to it we can get through the runs faster and off to pool, food a beer/sodas sooner. Also if you're going to need to wrench there lemme know and bring or ask others to bring what you will need to do the job.

Thanks

anyone want to help me do a cam swap before the dyno session?

Are we talking like doing this there on Dyno day? I still have a set of shims that I never sent back to IPD for my deposit and I've got the tool. Do you have a pick set? Would be interesting to run a car - swap cam and run it again - I'd have to check if we could run the car then pull it off and finish it's other runs later. Also what cam is this that you are swaping in? Lemme know.

Hi Kyle,
Yeah, the VPD Head and Cam...my lower end based on Unitech stuff. It'll be the gray sedan not the red wagon.
The VPD header is not on yet, I can't $wing the rest of the exhaust system now, so I'm interested to see how good it is in it's current form with 4-2-1 manifold and the ol' 2.25" exhaust I had put on years ago.
Can't wait!
See ya there!

No problem. If you do get it running then by all means come on down. Would love to see how an MS car does on the dyno - especially since you can tweek between runs.

Hopefully we can at least get a group shot going before you and others have to take off. So who is planning on staying for some Bowling and pool. And if you're coming do you want to play pool or bowl - I need some numbers here to see what I might reserve. Also any opinion on if it would be ok to have family and friends meet us there afterwards - this might help me extend the time I can stay out and play if wife and kids can come meet me there afterwards. Lemme know what you folks think.

In the mean time I'll give em a call and see if we can reserve something then I'll wait for you folks to chime in as to who does what. For me I'm up for pool and maybe a good game of three ball!!



Thanks
Renny

[klr142]

I'm staying for the after play! I just wish I could swap in a m47, and toss on an exhaust so I could break 100whp, I don't think I'll manage before at least an exhaust... Oh well. w00, let's party!

[86volvo740gle]

i've been watching this one for a while. I leave for eugene on the 8th but I should be able to come by and cheer for at least awhile depending on my level of packedness.
Colin

[Stereophile33]

I can play

[Inc3pt]

Ill be at the after-activities (Ill be there during the dyno too, to watch), and Im up for whatever. Im really terrible at pool, but I wouldnt mind standing around and just talking while everyone else plays...

[Renny_D]

I think Nick was in for after dyno fun and Pat chimed in at one point but hasn't since so right now it looks like 5 maybe 6. No need for me to reserve anything then yet. If there are more o you let me know. I think once we get in the 10+ we'd need to get a lane or two or a table or two reserved. BTW any preferances between pool or bowling?

Lmme know.

Yep, the highest recorded rainfall in the world is in Hawaii... on the summit of Mt. Waialeale on the island of Kaua'i... some 450 inches per year.

I'm going to have to beg off and ask Renny to scratch my name off of the list. Wife and I had a falling-out (long story, long time coming), and she has the 850. My 244 needs some TLC before it would be ready to baseline dyno, so I can't bring that either.

Sorry guys, was looking forward to it too. :-(

Bummer on both counts. I hope you two manage to work it out. PM me if you want to chat about it as my wife and I are heading into year 21 of marriage but it has not been without alot of work. Hopefully later this year at another dyno day then..

[310]

As far as sweet numbers, if I get 100, that will be bad news for Volvo race fans. If I don't then I'll cheat to win. :badboy:

Also I figure I would ask what time this is all going down? And where exactly we're going.

Mr. Choy - Do you know where we are going? Do you want to meet at the shop before we go?
I have to go down and get the car ready + go to the bathroon before we head out anyway.

I know where to go, but I'm not headed up your way. Renny is picking me up at my house at 8:30 and we're going up to Clackamas to pick my R up at Elite Window Tinting (I'm having a clear shield put on and the rear window tinted). Then I'm heading up to TorqueFreaks.

TorqueFreaks/HorsepowerFreaks is easy to find. Go like you're going to IPD, but instead of turning right onto their street, keep going straight on Airport Way, past the McDonald's... maybe a couple of blocks or so, and you'll see them on the left side. Look for the sign and probably a lot of cars in the parking lot. I think the meeting time is 9am.

Do you have any suggestions for a chill get-together afterwards? I suggested the bowling alley on SE Morrison, but I understand they're closed for renovations. Pat wants to play pool (and that bowling alley had pool tables too).

[310]

Well I could always just drive the Opel home and then meet up with you guys in the morning since you'll be driving around my neck of the woods.

[NChoy]

Well I could always just drive the Opel home and then meet up with you guys in the morning since you'll be driving around my neck of the woods.

You want me to swing by your place after I pick up my R? I'll be on McLaughlin (in Gladstone), near all those stupid car dealerships, just past the Dolphin. I gotta go back to I-205 anyway, so I'll just go under the bridge and stop by your house.

I hope I remember how to get there. I tell you what... I'll call you when I get to the shop. That way you'll have enough time to wake up and get ready.

[Inc3pt]

If Nick's plan doesnt work out, I live about ~2 miles from you Ole...

[klr142]

I thought we were supposed to get there at 930? Anywho, what exactly is the line-up so far? What order are we going in? I may need to arrive later than I was planning on...

[Tuff240]

An address and a time to show up would be nice.

I'll be fixing the brakes on my car tonight so I can stop and not crash into Nick's wagon. :-P

[Stereophile33]

I have to do a waterpump tonight and an electric fan!!!

So if anyone wants to help.....I just wish I had a garage..blah !!!

Does anyone have any 2" silicone hose or hump hose...or know anywhere in P-town that stocks it?

I blew an intercooler hose the other day......

Its gonna be a late night.

[Yea, Right]

So what are our time frames? I need to work around kid stuff but also want to be there and possibly run the 960 if time/space allows.

BTW, Pat get off tbricks and get to work!

http://www.torquefreaks.com/

I think Renny said 9am is show time. There is a list, but I don't know if that's the actual order we're going in. Since there's a mixed back of AWD, RWD and FWD, we should ask TF what order they want the cars to go in. Maybe they have a system as to how they set up the dyno.

And Pat, if you're going to crash into the back of me, make sure you hit my car hard enough to total it.

[budweiser_man]

Should be no problem. Please confirm if he's in for sure and I'll add him.

yeah and it is probably going to be raining anyhoo...just wanting to get a cam in a dynoed and then get it out....

Jonathan

[klr142]

Time wise, it'd be doable, it's not THAT complex to do... They MIGHT let you do it, I'd call them right quick to see if they'd let you. You can dyno first, and then go again after a few other people go...

Jonathon, what what cam is in it right now? The VX right? And what were you going to swap in?

[Stereophile33]

I have the VX in there now and need to get either a V cam or a IPD turbo cam in there next.

I just got this, so it is too late to call.

Oh well.

i'm down, i'll confirm that i'll show up and run my car (yes i'm new on the boards). I wanted to know though if it would be possible to make 2 runs on my 240 and 1 run on my dads 850 that we argue on how much his iPd kit actually did for his car :)

Just bring your stuff and tools, and we'll see what happens... maybe I can talk them into letting us use one of the interior bays.

[NChoy]

How about this for an idea?

There's a bowling alley on 82nd Blvd, just North of I-84. It's somewhat close to TF. Not sure if they have pool tables there or not.

The other place I was going to suggest was Kennedy School for lunch... but they're kinda expensive, and I'll be tempted to have a beer... or two. And their parking sucks.

[b4_ford]

I'll be there to spectate in the A.M. I've got a memorial service in Scio to attend in the afternoon so I'll skip the bowling:-( Nick, do you have any more OVT stickers? If so, bring a few for me if you remember.

[Stereophile33]

I will bring it, and if it doesnt happen its ok.

Jonathan

[Renny_D]

i'm down, i'll confirm that i'll show up and run my car (yes i'm new on the boards). I wanted to know though if it would be possible to make 2 runs on my 240 and 1 run on my dads 850 that we argue on how much his iPd kit actually did for his car :)

thanks, and see you guys tomorrow


I'm not sure at this point. I think they would want to charge more as part of the cost is the data entry part and the liability per car but come anyway and we'll see.

Jonathan bring the other cam you never know what they might be willing to allow. They did say you could run the car once then tweek rehook up and run again. I'll bring the shim kit just in case.

thanks
Renny

Nick knock it off you nay-sayer, do the cam if you want, just drive it in with no T-Belt covers on it and you'll cut some time off. Bring some air line and see if they will just let you plug it in. :) Or for 50.00 I'll swap it for you. Thats the cost of the dyno, correct. If you bring a pack of cloves and a 6er of DP, Pat will probably help you. Or if you bring some fried rice and a can of polish, Nick will probably help you.:-P

Oh by the way is anyone interested in actually bowling or is that the idea due to age, because there is that sports bar next to IPD.

It will be around noon on a Sat. and that's open season for cocktails around these parts.

Hahaha, nice one. :rofl:

There are going to be some underage peoples there, so yeah, that's probably the main reason for bowling... Nick, I'm up for the bowling, lots of bowling places usually have a pool table or two, so maybe we'll get lucky at this one. Is there a McMenimans(sp?) somewhere around there? I'm craving that again... Whatever Pat had the other day looked DAMN good. But then again, so was what I ate, that's why it dissappeared so fast.

PS. I won't be arriving late anymore...

[NChoy]

Hey, how about Hooters?

Jonathan, Yeah... I'll probably help you, as will Pat.

Bring the fried rice anyway...

[Stereophile33]

ok I will bring everything...and see where we get.

Jonathan

[luke242ti]

That's no excuse! Im going, just to hang out! :-P :-P (Yes, yes, I know Im a bit closer than you are Luke ;-) )

Yea. Its not an excuse I know, but the eyes must have glazed over that I said this weekend was already booked :-P

have fun!

[Stereophile33]

welll if anyone sees this this morning, it seems I have loaned out my torque wrench would would make the attempt at doing a cam swap a deal breaker.

But if one of you guys want to bring one, I will make sure you get it back/stays in your hands.

[Inc3pt]

Heh, Im seeing this before I leave, but I unfortunately dont have one for you :-( Hopefully someone else will see this!

[klr142]

Quick, general rundown of the event's results...

Pat put down some respectable stuff for a stock motor, and Shayne put down some decent numbers as well for an NA motor. Here's what I remember off the top of my head, not exact numbers, but we'll get the picture of the whiteboard with everyone's stuff on it up soon.

-Pat in his "ITB" car: 100whp, 130wtrq, m46
-Ole in his Opel put down 88whp and somewhere around 100wtrq, with it going WAY lean up top, probably costing him somewhere around 12 whp ;), 4spd
-Jonathon in his 242Ti VX cam had some lean, then rich issues, causing him to only pull 171whp and something wtrq. I wouldn't be suprised if he made at least 15 more whp after he gets kjet figured out, and then who knows, maybe 25 more when he gets something respectable cam wise in there. m46
-Shayne in his V-Performance 2175 b20 122 pulled 114?whp and 119wtrq, (needs different needles in his SUs... And a header to make the VP SP conversion complete. The Mikunis should help add another 10+% on the same setup... m41
-Me in my 244 with opened airbox, removed rear AMM screen, V15 cam and stupid power sapping autotragic AW70 did only 94whp and 106wtrq, had a f'n perfect A/F ratio though. By far the best of the day, lol, doesn't mean much though with some of the worst numbers!
-RennyD did somewhere around 184? or so, with much time/trouble spent trying to get a good pull with his slipping autotragic and what not. AW71
-Late 80s, early 90s Z28 Camaro, 224whp, 349wtrq.
-70ish Merc. Cougar, somewhere around 240whp and 320?wtrq
-Some 854T that we don't know did something like 170whp and whatever trq
-Nathan in his pretty much stock 745ti with 320,000? miles on the original tranny and bottom end did 140whp and 170ish wtrq. m46
-Matt in his 740ti did a couple 130ish whp runs, then upped the boost to get rid of how RICH he was running up top and put down 160whp and 214wtrq. M46?
-? some other random people...

[Stereophile33]

it was great to see such a good turnout!!!

Thanks to everyone, and it was good to meet so many people.

[klr142]

Oh yes! Forgot to mention, and missed you on your way out, RENNY, THANKS FOR ORGANIZING! Was a great event, once again, THANKS!

We'll have to do another one in the fall or so, see how I do with a manual and an exhaust and an Efan... :badboy: lol

[Renny_D]

First chance I got since getting home. It was great to meet the OVT crowd. I'll have all the runs on a cd come Mon or Tuesday so ping me if any of you want a copy. I was a little bummed with my runs but once I get another tranny in and can run some decent boost....

Guess that will have to be for another dyno day.

There were a few cars with six bangers that didn't get to run that would have been interested and given the v8 guys a run for the money.

Thanks again to all of you folks that showed up. Sorry I missed the food afterwards.

Thanks
Renny

[reeferman]

tell renny ill give him a transmsion...free

[guywithFX]

thanks for organizing the event renny. it was a good first time for me with the ovt crowd since i got my car, besides leaving about 2 quarts of oil on the dyno... still looking for that leak...

thanks again, and i'd be interested in the dyno sheets on the cd when you get em'
btw i'm the *other* nick in the '82 244T

not that it matters all that much but my wagon is a stick... M46

[Stereophile33]

is there anyway when we post the dyno data we can actually put like the person TB or OVT username, real name, and then what car they dynoed?

Jonathan

Of course! If anyone has a picture of the picture of the whiteboard I can put something together... Nick had one before Matt dynoed, so if I can get that, and then I can talk to Matt and see how he did, I'll have everyone.

[Stereophile33]

thanks,
I had just realised that I didnt know who some of the people were with what car? That is all.

thanks Kyle.

Jonathan

[Renny_D]

I've got the dyno runs in both the raw data and as a jpeg of the runs as posted. The raw data one you'll have to down load the viewer from the dynojet website; http://www.dynojet.com/downloads/software.php the software is winjet7. Lemme know what you want if any of that and/or if I should just post them up here.

Thanks
Renny

[Stereophile33]

Renny I think we should post em up...but I would like the raw data as well.

How can I get that from you.

Jonathan

[Renny_D]

Pm me with an email address. Also it looks like the raw data I got is missing info it is only plotting the hp curve not the torque or a/f. I'm waiting for a call back from TQfrks. Other funny thing is they left all the v8s off the data. Without them you were king of torque for the day.


Thanks
Renny

You have email.

Thanks

Edit: you have lots of mail. Had to send the files individually for the raw data. Post as you see fit - note Mr Choy prefered that his nos not be posted as he had very off readings.

I mean Is the other wagon the same, don't post the results lol . Sorry had to poke fun a little..
Chris

[klr142]

Renny, if you could send me an email at klr1422000ATyahoo.com with, not the raw data, but the jpegs, I'll put the info together with the names of everyone that I know and post it. Thanks Renny!

I didn't know that Nick didn't want his numbers posted... I had them listed, although with an explanation in my post above... But I deleted it. And Chris, nope, his other wagon isn't the same. ;-)

Also, I edited your m46 in there Nathan. I haven't been on the computer much lately, well, online anyway.

Thanks guys.

The ONLY reason I didn't want to post the numbers from the V70R is that they were WAY OFF. The dyno couldn't get a good spark reading, and the car kept wanting to downshift, no matter what I did to keep it from doing so. If shifted into 3, or L, the car started off in Winter Mode, and therefore didn't develop the kind of boost it needed. I have a feeling I need to bypass something (pull a fuse or something) to keep it in Sport Mode, but also stop it from downshifting. I may schedule a dyno day at Matrix sometime soon to get a baseline, and post those numbers.

Chris, my "other wagon" is an entirely different animal...

[Stereophile33]

are we ever gonna get our dyno sheets posted?

Hey Jonathan, I searched but I didn't see, what cam did you dyno with there? Man if only you could hold that torque a little longer...

[Renny_D]

Ohhh, was I actually supposed to post the link here? :oops:

http://www.tuff240.com/dynoday1706.htm

Thanks Pat. Now to go back and get a proper reading... damn Tranny

Renny

[Stereophile33]

the turbo inspired VX....not.

Yeah I ran with the VX cam. Soon I will have a V in and will post those sheets as well.

Jonathan

I was also running super rich...so that wasnt helping me out.
That was at 11 lbs of boost

[klr142]

I just got back from work, and don't have time to do anything right now, but I'm planning on making a post in the showroom with all the sheets(minus Nick Choy's), and the peoples names as well as usernames(if they have one). In that thread it'd be cool if each of you could list your setup, and thoughts on the run, and I can edit it into the first post.

So, if you'd like, go ahead and start listing out your setups in this thread? :-D

[Tuff240]

I thought we weren't posting mine...

Ahh, so that AF graph was accurate, well then, can't really blame the cam, yet. How are you running so rich? have you modded the k-jet or do you have your base mix set quite rich? If you could maintain a better AFR to redline you'd see that torque hold out much better. It trails off right along with your AFRs...

We're setting up a dyno day for May here, can't wait! We'll have to start an E vs W dyno-rama!

[Stereophile33]

honestly i don't know how accurate that afr graph is. My CO is set ok, and I have shimmed the fuel distributor. The first few runs were with Terminal 11 connected. The last run I disconnected it, and still ran pretty rich...though I could not turn the boost up higher due to pinging.

That would definitely be way cool, to start another E Vs. W.

[Tuff240]

Anyone else get their raw data to show torque on the winjet software?

[Stereophile33]

once I downloaded winjet and uploaded my raw data I am getting seeing my HP numbers significantly higher....as in my HP was at 250hp

my files imported having HP on the y axis and speed (mph) on the x axis

things seem awfully messed up

Jonathan

[klr142]

http://www.ovtuners.org/gallery/Jan06dynoday

[klr142]

I guess pat already did that, with the winpep raw data for each of our runs as well. I missed it the first time.

Now we just need to get the setups listed...

Here's what I have so far, let me know what's incorrect, or what's missing. Thanks!

Shayne(RadioFlyer): 1966 122, rebuilt b20, bored to 2170(iirc), V-Performance head, cam, dual SU HS6 on early alloy manifold, 2.25 exhaust, injected b20 4-2-1 manifold, forged pistons, lower end based on Unitech stuff... other stuff...?

[klr142]

Thanks Renny, it's been edited in. Anyone else?

[310]

Opel has one magnaflow muffler I want to say it's 2 1/4 and 4:22 rear end. Intake and exhaust manifolds are port matched only 1" deep. Still needs AFPR, she's running out of gas. Thats about it.

[Stereophile33]

kyle I have PS and AC.

[Tuff240]

Pat(Tuff240): 1983 242 DL, b23F- low compression, B cam, cone filter, removed exhaust aft of resonator, m46, 3.91 rear end... No AC, but yes PS.
Edit mine. i still have the manual trans motor in it, although the auto trans is sitting on the engine stand.

[klr142]

Thanks guys, and damnit Pat, I was hoping that'd be another reason backing up your numbers... Yikes. That must just be a really good motor or something...

[Tuff240]

Thanks guys, and damnit Pat, I was hoping that'd be another reason backing up your numbers... Yikes. That must just be a really good motor or something...
HAHA. 200k+ very hard/abused miles (didn't get much servicing) before I got it. Ask Nick, it was a mess when I bought it. Hell the timing belt broke on the way home. Entire engine compartment was covered in grease/oil from front leaky seals that looked like they had been that way for years. Why were they blown? Most likely because the flame trap and breather box were plugged solid from never properly servicing them. So yeah, it's a really good motor or something. :roll:
