Kenny Comes to PDX (tits)

[sethfc]

Alright,

1. does anybody have airline hookups? PM me please.

2. Kenny is coming to PDX courtesy of myself. He'll be here from about 11PM april 6th to 11AM april 8th.

He's going to be dyno tuning my car.

The plan is to dyno tune early April 7th (saturday) in the morning. Afterwards I say we have a party. R Sport International is a possible place.

This is what I need:

Who is interested in spending the entire weekend with kenny/me/shane/whomever? The plan is to camp at my place the night of the 6th (bring your sleeping bag/blankets), dyno tune morning of the 7th, party hard, crash wherever is best, and see kenny off.

so lets get this going - i've got my hands full planning my dyno tune/getting kenny here, so i need people steppin up to the plate to make fun things happen

thanks,
seth

after i get done, you can't take the car to the dragstrip. Thats like helping the enemy ;) :-D

Exactly :)

Sounds like fun, I'll see if I can head down to at least check out the dyno tuning session.

[adrianpike]

That would be a fun trip.


... in somebody else's car... james,poik,john? :-D

thats what i'm talkin about lets make this big

Kenny's coming to Washington?

[thelostartof]

you should make a stop through AZ and hang out for a day or so

oh and kenny is a bitch

[coldfusion21]

not trying to rain on the parade but why do you need kenny to come dyno tune your car? asside from the obvious answer of you doing it yourself (which it seems you have ruled out) there isnt anyone closer then 3k miles that can tune your car?

[amargill19?]

He must be really good.

[sethfc]

not trying to rain on the parade but why do you need kenny to come dyno tune your car? asside from the obvious answer of you doing it yourself (which it seems you have ruled out) there isnt anyone closer then 3k miles that can tune your car?

simple
kenny is most efficient in tuning redblocks. its been seen.

for some honkey at a random dyno shop, not familiar with a volvo, but familiar with megasquirt can do 300WHP on a stock redblock in probably 6 hours (look at brians 242, he was on the dyno for like 7 hours... and those guys knew megasquirt well).

now, its 150 bucks for a dyno shop here near me to dyno tune (thats hourly). times that by 6. you get 900 bucks.

spend 404 bucks to fly kenny out here, and spend another 85/hr for a dyno... i could have kenny on the dyno for 6 hours and still be just about the same price as having some dude who doesnt know volvos tune.

another thing to consider, when youre tryin to do what i'm doing (basically what Sam / deathwagon did on his wagon [306WHP]), the chances of breaking things are way high. Kenny knows so much about our motors its not even funny. not to mention he can tune 3x as fast as anybody i've seen.

so you tell me why you wouldnt spend the same amount of money, or even probably LESS, to have a fellow bricker from S.E. come up and meet some PDXers. i'd much rather pay that much money to have kenny come up and all of us have a blast.

ya dig?

[Poik]

Kenny has proven himself over and over with results so yeah, I don't think you are wasting money if you can't or don't have the time to learn to do it yourself. Tom Wong is in your area and is one of the best tuners in the PacNW though, have you heard of him?

[seth at work]

no i havent heard of tom wong
but who will we have more fun with?! =p
gotta have the heeb in town man
you should tell tom wong to show up for fun tho, poik

[klr142]

Seth, there should be other dynos that you can rent out for less than $150/hr, keep looking. Unnatural Inc., Torquefreaks... Probably other places.

[seth at work]

kyle,
its 150 hr for someone to tune it... its nothing cheaper than that.

we'll be going to torque freaks for 85/hr just rentin the dyno. no person tuning (that'll be kenny)

[linuxman51]

He must be really good.

well I am a legend in my own mind, if that counts for something :-D

[klr142]

kyle,
its 150 hr for someone to tune it... its nothing cheaper than that.

we'll be going to torque freaks for 85/hr just rentin the dyno. no person tuning (that'll be kenny)Oh ok, yeah, that makes a LOT more sense. I thought you were saying it was $150 just to rent out the dyno, and then kenny on top of that.

[sethfc]

nope
random white person tuning my car: 150/hr
having kenny tune my car: 85/hr

=p

[Poik]

nope
random white person tuning my car: 150/hr
having kenny tune my car: 85/hr

=p
Why did you just say white person?

[sethfc]

its kinda a joke here - i'm half mexican
ocassionally we'll be working and i'll blair "white people" if i'm frustrated

[Poik]

Right..

Well Tom Wong isn't white I can assure you.

[sethfc]

does tom wong work at torque freaks? :lol:
so i should start a list of people coming down... whats with you bellingham crowd? you guys thinking of coming down or is it just adrian?

[PRVersion]

****in **** i'm down.

who else around here is going to show the KingHeeb a good time around here?

:-P

[sethfc]

****in **** i'm down.

who else around here is going to show the KingHeeb a good time around here?

:-P

who are you? whats your name? =p

[coldfusion21]

derrick is his name in reality, not sure if its spelled right or not.

i could give you a few suggestions for local tuners, but it doesnt seem like your interested in that. i know a guy that was getting 220-250 WHP out of a stock* wrx (220 CRANK HP stock)
and thats on a AWD platform.

*he was upping the boost with a huge exhaust and intake. Runinng a standalone, but everything else was stock.

[TurboBrickMan]

****in **** i'm down. :-P
+1

who are you? whats your name? =p

That's Derrick. I'm Kevin Adair. Count me in man. PMs work best to get ahold of me on this...or aim.

[745 TurboGreasel]

after i get done, you can take the car to any dragstrip you want, as long as it is over 1500 miles from home ;) :-D
Fixed

[linuxman51]

hm lots o people to meet, sounds like fun :)

[sethfc]

peter L. himself is in =p
hes providing free beer for everyone... ;)

[klr142]

Except you, of course.

[mikep]

He must be really good.It's the pants.

but who will we have more fun with?!
exactly. And I haven't even met him.

[sethfc]

peter has offered the v-shop for a BBQ
anybody have input?
i need to start organizing food/drinks

[reeferman]

i was not looking forward to this but someone said beer.im down for the BBQ and BEER

[sethfc]

hahaha, why no love tony? ;)
P.S. my car starts and idles... time to go for a drive (thanks shane and kyle for a fun injector-spraying night)

[klr142]

I see you didn't put me up there for being "in". Are you kidding?! Of course I'm in! :-P

That being said, here's the deal, no? Play on the dyno Saturday morning. After the fun dyno session, we go to the V Shop courtesy of Peter, have some BBQ grubbing and **** shootin, and what not.

Is Peter supplying the BBQ itself? Or will that need to be brought over? I have a 6 pack of Coronas I can donate to the gathering because I'll never drink them... And then I can bring some chips and maybe some drink too, although I'll be drinking water for the most part. I can bring some ketchup and mustard too, if wanted. :-P

Post on OVT as well, confirm with Peter, and things'll start taking off. Don't need to worry about bringing things just yet, we should be able to get someone to take care of one thing each or so and it'll be dandy. Just gotta have a date so everyone can start planning specifics. You better call Torque Freaks TOMORROW and get stuff set in motion. Got it? :-P

[Yea, Right]

I will supply the location, the condiments, an icechest with ice, (an 18 pack for starters) and the BBQ. Everything else can be found at my friend Fred's across the street. :)

[klr142]

Awesomeness. Thanks Peter!!!

Seth, go post on OVT!

[86volvo740gle]

I'm going to try to convince the Eugene contingent to trek back up to Portland

[Brickster151]

Maybe I'll arrange my Seattle trip around stopping by for this.

[sethfc]

Maybe I'll arrange my Seattle trip around stopping by for this.

do it.

colin - come back home for this!

kyle - yes i'm calling torque freaks tomorrow WHILE i'm at the airport buying kennys ticket. Delta online was retarded and was moaning about how it couldnt confirm the identity of my Visa or some ****

ill post on OVT

[klr142]

Dem beetches! I was just logging onto OVT to see... ;-)

Kito at KAS would be my choice, he did a ****ing amazing job on on brians 242ti

[2manyturbos]

Sounds like fun. I'll try to make it up for this.

[CountOfNowhere]

Assuming I don't have work stuff to do (that has been a problem as of late) I will be around for part of this bizniss at least....

[2manyturbos]

Hey, you have to change your sig, or pay me copyright royalties. :)

I should have been more specific, I meant avatar.

I did a few days ago :) represent!

[Renny_D]

I'd love to be there for that. Man I hope my beast us up and running then. BTW, if a nice deck and bbq is needed I'd offer my place but it's a bit of a drive from Torque Freaks. Just puttin it out there. Some time this year I will do another volvo bbq.

Thanks
Renny

[bswizzle]

i do kind of have a "thing" for Pete... so i might have to stop by vshop to say hello before the pending relocation

[NChoy]

Not to impune Kenny's tuning ability, but there's LOTS of people here who can do the same thing. And they don't even have to get on a plane.

In any case, with my luck you guys are doing this while I'm in Maryland...

[sethfc]

dyno reserved @ Wong's Performance in Vancouver

[turbobrick211]

Yo Seth. Sorry I haven't gotten to the phone lately. I'll call you soon and we can talk about a "pre-tune" to get some drivability dialed in before the Grand Master shows up. This should be some fun!

E

[Poik]

dyno reserved @ Wong's Performance in Vancouver
no i havent heard of tom wong
but who will we have more fun with?! =p
gotta have the heeb in town man
you should tell tom wong to show up for fun tho, poik
Oh I think he'll be there :)

[The Aspirator]

Poik you going? Adrian? I'll be happy to drive down there if I can split gas with a bunch of you guys! Seriously, lets do it. I've gotta meet this king heeb. And I think the only person from Portland that I've met is Kyle, so there's a bunch of new faces that I've gotta hang out with.

ROADTRIP!!

John

[Poik]

Yeah I'm down for a roadtrip. I would be up for driving also and splitting gas, but your car is the one that deserves to be showed off so I vote we take yours :). I'm happy to drive if you don't want to though, but people in the back seat bitch that my car is loud lol

[The Aspirator]

It's settled then, I'd love to take my car. "Show off" is a term implying that the subject is nice to look at.... :oops:

[sethfc]

aight so gimme a list of who from bellingham/up north is coming?

[Yea, Right]

Looks like we got a full on car show at the Vshop!

[klr142]

Sweeeeeeetness!

Seth, what time do we have the dyno reserved for? And when can I come over to help get that biatch on the road so we can do some pre-pre-tuning!?!

[sethfc]

No, pizza is lame compared to grilling.

So who's bringing what?

[The Aspirator]

I'll bring a smattering of pop and chips, then we'll see what else is required once we get there.

John

[sethfc]

john WHO is coming from up north!?

i need a 40 trim T04E compressor housing and wheel possibly (if sam doesnt have his)

[The Aspirator]

Do you need an exact list with our DOB and SS numbers and everything? Hahaaa. Maybe 2-4 guys, no one has confirmed yet. I mean jeeze I don't even know what I'm doing 2 days from now, yet alone 2 weeks! :) But I'll sure try to make it.

John

[adrian @ work]

we're bringing the entire canadian army.

[amargill19?]

we're bringing the entire canadian army.

**** you, i need the tank that weekend.

well hell. next you're going to ask for the rifle too. fine, but we get all four bullets.

oh, and the atomic bong.

[amargill19?]

oh, and the atomic bong.

That's how we ended the cold war and made those commies choke till they collapsed.

[RoadRacer4Life]

just thought this might help with the tuning.. this was my timing map back when i made 306whp SAE corrected.. This was with a .63ar turbine housing with a stage 2 turbine wheel-- TO4E .50 compressor housing and t4 40trim compressor wheel.
Enjoy and good luck

[RoadRacer4Life]

ohh one more thing about my car that night on that hp level.. This power was tuned for the dyno only as soon as we hit the street at 22-24psi of boost the car pinged pretty hard soo dont expect that the car to run that kind of boost on pump gas on the street for prolonged periods of time.. I do think that 270-280 whp is possiable on pump gas daily.. Good luck again

Sam

[The Aspirator]

That's cool to know Sam, thanks for sharing.

[sethfc]

sam,
kenny convinced me to switch to the 40 trim.
i think he spoke to you about a wheel? possibly a housing?

let me know!

oh, and that map i still have from the first time we spoke. thank you for your advice. i'm hoping my methanol injection will help the car maintain the high boost/continued driving

-seth

[klr142]

Guess what guys, we're going DRAG RACING THAT NIGHT TOO!!!!

What a day, what a day this is going to be...

Sam

yeah but hes gonna be flossin the methanol injection, so maybe it won't suffer the same problems. On the whole tho I tend to agree, it'll still scoot along ;)

I spect i'll just watch the drag races, I've got a nasty track record of breaking things at the track.

[The Aspirator]

Kyle friday night or saturday night? I'm assuming saturday after the dyno, which would be wicked.

[klr142]

CorrECT! w0000w000! Wanna race some more people? :) I'll, uhm, bow down and step out of your way... But if you guys leave Adrian's tune bad enough, I'll race him...

[sethfc]

can i get a rough idea of whos gonna spend the night @ my house friday night?

[klr142]

Not me...

[adrianpike]

John, what time you planning on heading down & back? I's got to be back in Bham on Sunday, for that whole Easter thing...

[The Aspirator]

Yeah I just realized myself that it's easter weekend! DAMN, our family is planning a saturday gathering so that means I'm pretty much out. I really wanted to go too.

[klr142]

sam,
kenny convinced me to switch to the 40 trim.
While playing with it yesterday, we were getting some chipper/chatter whatever it is(surge?) after revving it up somewhat high, full throttle, and then letting off. Sound about right?

His engine seems excessively loud to me, so I didn't want to rev it up too high. Some of it's coming from his alternator(seth, toss another one in, after spinning it by hand to see what kind of sounds it makes).

nice.

P.S. all the northerns are runnin away!

Seriously, had you planned it any time other than a holiday I would have been there.

i fixed the links on the front schedule to fit the proper maps

AND

i stayed up till 4am fixing little things like turn signals, brake lights, etc.
last thing to do is modify my third engine mount slightly and hook up the methanol injection

[The Aspirator]

How does it run right now? Not the tune, but the cars general run-ability? When you jump on the dyno make SURE that you've got at least one set of brand new plugs with you, bring an extra set of plug wires if yours are crap, make sure your cap and rotor is new-ish, etc. Basically you don't want to be wasting your time hunting down gremlins while paying for dyno time. Make sure everything is as reliable and strong as it can be.

Best of luck, I hope you accomplish your goals. SUCKS that I can't make it down.

John

[klr142]

Seth, before you rev it up or drive it, make sure you run it for a good few minutes to get the turbo re-oiled... You did pre-lube it before you put the lines back in, right?

[holtzboy]

Alright a couple of things, my flight gets back in on Saturday around 11:30AM so it looks like I can make it to the BBQ and drags which is awesome. I guess I will run my 242 and try to be easier on it than last time and not spin through second gear. Secondly, speaking of cap and rotor they are old and I attempted to clean them up so they definitely need to be swapped with brand new ones ASAP. When putting the new rotor on make sure it goes on the same exact position you pulled it off so timing doesn't get all goofy. Trying to think of other things to be concerned about regarding the car... Had a few electrical smokings / almost fires which was rear defroster wiring and illumination wiring related so that will be something to have fun with in the near future. Everything is safely electrical taped up and shoved out of the way for now!

[b4_ford]

Travel plans are cancelled for me so I'm down for bbq and drags perhaps.

[Slobodan]

I work Saturday night. There is noway I can attend this. this sucks. I need the money too. damn.

[86volvo740gle]

Robert and I are planning on coming up for the festivities on saturday. We might stop by the dyno or just work on his 242T until people head over to the VShop for the afternoon.

[klr142]

I work Saturday night. There is noway I can attend this. this sucks. I need the money too. damn.The come in the morning and afternoon... :roll: Duh!

I don't think I'll be drag racing this weekend because my 244's going to be garaged elsewhere while I hold onto another car for show and tell(aka sell).

[sethfc]

i'm sending PMs to everyone
check yall mail boxes

so uhh...is there any booze-based debauchery planned? i saw the SE5 footage, i would hope we'd show kenny no less a good time :badboy:

screw running it for a few minutes, unplug the coil-to-dizzy wire and crank it for 30 seconds. you want oil in the turbo before the exhaust hits the turbine.

yeah, i'll be there with colin! should be fun to see it all!

The come in the morning and afternoon... :roll: Duh!

I don't think I'll be drag racing this weekend because my 244's going to be garaged elsewhere while I hold onto another car for show and tell(aka sell).

Bring the 142, race me!

[dhallilama]

if'n i can convince/trick the wife, i'll try to stop in for a bit while we're scouting out the place we're hopefully moving to this summer...

flying to portland in about 8 hours... gonna be there until monday night...

[sk8daysaweek]

If my 145 is running right, I'll race ya ethan! ;-)

[klr142]

I may race it, we'll see if I can match my lightweight times with a "better" tune and some thicker weight oil in the full interior/exterior mode. I don't want to hurt it though as I'm trying to sell it!

[NChoy]

I need everyone who brings a camera to take pictures at this event.

I know it's not an official OVT event, but since our club hasn't had play in Rolling for a while, I'm going to send pictures to Lee. Maybe someone can do a writeup (whoever goes), and I'll edit it utilizing my newly-acquired public affairs editing skills!

Don't forget!

I will be. No worries there. I will be hungover, so I'll be the guy rubbing his head and squinting even though I have sunglasses on.

EDIT: and drinking lots of water

EDIT EDIT: Kyle, it's closer to your house. I'm pretty sure you have the shortest drive of anyone. Well, assuming where the grocery getter is your house.

[klr142]

Well, assuming where the grocery getter is your house.Yeah, that's my garage it was sitting in front of. I'll be riding the motorcycle around for the most part, and maybe bring the 142 to the drags, maybe not though as it costs money and I'm trying to sell it. I have more traction than last time I went out, so I'm somewhat worried about hurting things, not to mention a tired engine. If I was keeping the car, I would've give a crap, but it will likely be driving 550 miles down to california in the next month or so...

That being said, I'll be at the dyno in the morning, so I won't actually be that close to eh V Shop.

[klr142]

Kevin and I will both be there, as far as I know. Is Shane going to make it? What time are you picking Kenny up?

[rclark]

Colin (86volvo740gle) and I would like to come to the dyno maybe, if there aren't a whole lot of people there, we'd hate to be in the way, but I'd like to see it since I will be MS'ing my car soon. You know what time you will be there for sure yet? Thanks!

[klr142]

First post says when and where. 10AM specifically. Come on to the dyno, Seth's all about having people there, and so far it's not going to be more than him, Kenny, me, and maybe slobodan. Not sure who else is coming to the dyno, if anyone. COME ON OVER!

[sethfc]

words cannot discribe this event

How's the tuning session going?

[Slobodan]

I was there, now I'm at work... :(

Went ok... we had problems with the boost pipes blowing off at around 15+ psi because Seth didn't flare the ends of his pipes to get a better hold and they were using a flat head screw driver to tighten the clamps instead of using a 8mm socket like I showed them today.


Then the wastegate wasn't preloaded enough so boost was up and down alot... so I had to rush and fix that with a broiling hot manifold burning my fleshy hands. By that time I had to leave to make it to the Beaverton area for work. :(

I guess the final numbers were 259?RWHP and 266RWTQ on a mustang dyno. with about 18psi. Further tuning can happen later when I have time to change cams/cam timming, and put more load on the wastegate.

[dhallilama]

good meetin' you all... sorry we didn't get more of a chance to talk with everyone: trying to squeeze this whole "where we gonna move?" search into 4 days, when there's so much to see is pretty rough :)

no pics?

[klr142]

Come on man, we're still partying!!!

Actually, I just woke up, I went to bed "early" last night after the drags(to which NO turbo volvos came, except for Andy in his red S70T5M from OVT) around 1am. Seth, Kenny, and others were partying it up at Eric's house.

Now it's time for easter! I'll get some camera phone junk loaded up into a gallery in OVT probably tonight. I'll need everyone else's pictures/movies to load into there.

[sk8daysaweek]

I was going to hit the drags with you guys, but I can't even get full throttle right now. Did ethan run? Did you Kyle?

[klr142]

For the some NA guys, yeah. Me, Shane in his yellow 244dl, Sean(dirtdogg) in his 242GT, and Ethan raced his new 142 for two runs. Well, actually there was another OVT'er there, Ducttape, who I didn't know was going to be there and he was running too. My 244 did 12 or 13 runs I think? And that was WITH staying off the track for almost an hour for some pictures... There was NO one there after the diesel trucks and subaru guys left, it was awesome. Closed at 11 even!:)
