Kevin - is there still space available to dyno one of my cars? What's the $$?

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

I think the price is in the $60 to $70 range. It looks like Andy won't be dynoing his car. So that spot may be available. Kevin will know for sure.

Kevin91Z

iTrader: (1)

Sure Dave, I will save a spot for you. Mark charges us $75-80 an hour.

Sorry Kevin - It's Dave I'll try to get my TTA prep'd for Saturday!

I'd love to join in for a pull to confirm my current programming. Just waiting for my membership to be approved on that other site.

Sorry Dave.

Lon, you're approved.

Spectators are welcome at the dyno. Please come and learn how to dyno a car, and how we get the power we do out of our TPI engines.

Also, if you cant make it during the day but want to come to the meeting, watch this space and I will post when we're leaving the dyno and heading to the restaurant.

JulieGTA

I can make it to the dinner part, as long as it's after 2 PM.

Birdstheword

yes ! , i'm so0o0o going to this one . i'll bring the camera to get some video . People don't believe that you guys are putting together 400 HP engines that pass the emissions test .

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

Heck at 2pm we might still be on the dyno. It appears as if we will have a number of cars. Looks like Gooseman has weaseled his way into being first on the dyno.

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

Come on down.

BlackMamba

iTrader: (6)

If it rains tomorrow I would pass by to check the dyno runs

89mulletbird

iTrader: (4)

I'm going to try to make it early in the AM, hoping I can get a couple of pulls and get back to San Diego by noon to work on my other car!

cuisinartvette

Always miss this good stuff having to work every weekend.
Hopefully in Jan/Feb I can get a day off to do something and meet you guys
Missing a day this mo wouldnt be a good idea where I work
Soon
Thats cheap for dyno time!!

Burnout91

Getting tuned @ MD with Kevin91Z and crew gets you service, value and fun that can't be beat.

Wish I could be there!

Waiting for people to upload the dyno videos I was having too much fun to even take a picture of my car on the dyno!

Kevin91Z

iTrader: (1)

New record for Adrian, 87 IROC, 355 TPI Super Ram, 431 RWHP, 429 RWTQ.

Allen's car is coming up next, and his is the last one of the day.

Kevin91Z

iTrader: (1)

Allen's car made 415 RWHP, 421 RWTQ.

We're heading to Spires now.

thegooseman

Thanks for letting me go first.

Birdstheword

@ goose . what were your HP/Torque results on your pulls ?

Birdstheword

halfway done with the editing . I need to know gooseman's results for each of his runs . that's all i need .

Dyno Don

iTrader: (7)

Not sure he wants to say but here they are, 346/329 running out of fuel on top.

Last session he was at 390+

Birdstheword

Wow , still pretty nice numbers. Most cars had that same problem
Maxing out their fuel pumps. Not sure if good or bad? Sign of progress ?
Lowest numbers of the day were 270-ish HP and 300 torque. ( correct me if
I'm wrong) .

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

That sounds right and he was having fuel problems.

thegooseman

I really hope it's not the fuel pump. It's not even a year old. I changed out the fuel filter and it seems it gave my car some of its ***** back. Time for another Dyno.

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

"I changed out the fuel filter "

That will do it if it was somewhat clogged. Hopefully that was it.

89mulletbird

iTrader: (4)

Pillar mounted fuel pressure gauge

thegooseman

Do you think a fuel filter could cause me 40rwhp?

Dyno Don

iTrader: (7)

BTW did we mention the TTA we had on the dyno

INSANE numbers.....518/570

Congrats Dave!

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

Sure. It could be clogged so bad that all a car will do is idle. So it just depends on how badly clogged it was. It will affect the flow rate or how many gallons per minute it will alow to flow. It can still create pressure if there is hardly any flow against a dead head.

Z28FAST1

Awesome

iTrader: (4)

Thanks, just glad you guys let my "Buick" into the group

1BADDAM

Nice numbers Dave. What boost level?

AutoRoc

iTrader: (1)

I just hooked my dynotune digital nitrous guage to read my fuel pressure in-car.. I am seeing pressure drop with my turbo setup. It's a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator also.. 55psi idle, 62at 0 boost, 65psi at boost/low rpm and it drops down to 40-45psi in upper rpm...damn.. ill try a new filter and then drop in an extra walbro if I need to. It's nice data to see! Also hooked up my method kit and made my.boost guage illuminate when the method kit is powered on.. no need to have boost guage illuminated until boost is being read. Awesome...


Nice numbers guys!!

thegooseman

Does your engine have stock internals? Those are insane numbers! Well done sir.

89mulletbird

iTrader: (4)

Yeah, stock block with 70,000 miles on it (very hard miles). My last run my boost was around ~22-24psi. That's about all my 6152 turbo can do with the ported heads letting it free flow into the engine.

Grey Goose

Well done indeed gentlemen!

Question, are these fueling issues a result of sucking the fuel rails dry requiring more pump and/or larger diameter fuel line or simply not enough injector causing them to go static?

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

Requires a larger capacity fuel pump. Can be the injectors to. We have not found a problem with the size of the fuel line.

JulieGTA

Congrats to everyone dyno-ing for keeping us inspired with their projects, and those with the big numbers too of course!

Keep on updating on your progress! & happy holidays.

We want videos! We want videos!

Birdstheword

finally finished with the video . enjoy !

Dyno Don

iTrader: (7)

Excellent job Luis....

Thank You.

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

Very nice Luis. Well done.

Birdstheword

Thanks for the compliments guys,
Its my first time using Sony Vegas
editing software. Hopefully next
time I can use the full potential
of the program.

thegooseman

Great video.










But my car did make at least 347 rwhp that day. ;-)

Birdstheword

sorry , i got the HP numbers wrong . I finished this video at 4 AM this morning , crashed then uploaded the video around 7 Am . In hindsight i should never render videos at those hours with little sleep.

thegooseman

Don't worry man. I'm glad you put that video together. I want to see more in the future.

TPI-Formula350-

nice numbers!

Grey Goose

Phenomenal numbers gentlemen

iTrader: (4)

Great work on the video. Not like it matters much but my Iroc is an 87, not an 88.
