MN 3/S Dyno Day

curt_gendron · 04-21-2005

Hey everyone,

The Minnesota 3/S guys are having a Dyno Day at RS Motors this Saturday, April 23rd. We are starting at 8am and going for 8-10 hours. We have a list of people that are dynoing, plus we have a reserve list for no shows. We might be able to squeeze in a DSM or two if you are interested. You'd be on the reserve list, and I can't guarantee you'll get to dyno, but you'll have about a 50/50 chance of it.

Even if you just want to come hang out with us and watch, come on down to RS Motors.

We'll be BBQ around noon. You can bring some food too if you want to grill. We'll be there all day, so bring a lawn chair too.

later,
Curt

They have an awd dyno right?

AJ · 04-21-2005

Yes they do.

Price?

MustGoFaster · 04-21-2005

$85/hr. I'm last on the list of people that get to go forsure. But my car doesn't run yet soo... It depends on friday night.

Fudge, I wish I didn't have to work. I could get a baseline on the Galant. Oh well.

Shotgun! · 04-22-2005

This sounds really fun! I think I'll just come and watch. Maybe bring some food.

**Kracka** · 04-22-2005

Too bad I'm working tomorrow otherwise I'd make the trip down just to watch.

Sweet! I've never been to RS Motors and I've never seen a 3/S on a dyno before. So it will be interesting what our lead sleds can do.

I guess I will be there, I had no idea that place was 5 minutes from my house!

Damn, a chance to beat every 3S in town, and I could probably do it with a 14b.

hehe.

Looks like we have a couple of 3/Ses that are backing out. We can probably squeeze in a DSM or two if anyone is up for it. Stop on by tomorrow.

I wish I could make it but Ill be putting working on ye old car again...

Planning on doing any more or these types of events this summer?

AJ · 04-24-2005

So how did this go?

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 04-25-2005

What were the HP numbers like?

I guess everyone posted lower numbers than expected, had boost control problems, or spun bearings. So yea, typical dyno day!

They wanted me to dyno my 2g there, but pump gas on a 16g in a crowd of tt 3.0 cars is not going to be very impressive

curt_gendron · 04-25-2005

In case you don't want to read the MN 3/S thread, here is the results:

Matt J -- 436hp
Vitalli, Brad, John and Russ all between 299 to 305hp
Me -- 266hp
Nitron -- 236hp
Jeremy -- 228hp

The top five people had aftermarket turbos and myself and the two below me had the 9b stock turbos. Nobody broke anything on the dyno outside of a hose popping off.

Does anyone have a guess as to what the RS Motors dyno would compare to Elite's dyno if we were able to unhook our driveshafts with a welded diff?? I guess I'm looking for the difference between drivetrain loss from AWD to FWD and the differences in the dyno itself.

The Dyno Day was a lot of fun. There were a few DSMers there hanging out with us.

**scheides** · 04-25-2005

As for FWD vs AWD, I would guess that you'd just want to add 7-10% to those numbers, but as for the dyno differences, I've always heard that Mustangs 'read lower' ..very specific, I know...

So yea, I'd like to know too, anyone?
