Dyno Day

[Tim]

Hey guys.

Ive exchanged a couple of emails with Beninca motors in regards to holding a dyno day. Seems like it could be quite an affordable way to waste a day.

It seems they charge a fee for the day. And not a per car fee. But having said that if we were to get a bit of interest it would be quite cheap I think!

anyways ill post up what Joe said to me via email and ill leave it to you guys to give me your impressions. Im thinking add $5 to $10 per person to cover a BBQ and yeah. Let me know what you think. It would have to be on a saturday as well.

Hello Tim



Yes we can help. We have conducted similar days previously.



We have a 4 X 4 dyno. Usually FWD first, then 4X4 I don’t think you have any RWD. But anyway grouped.

On the cars I presume it easy access to connect “chains” to hold front of car from going sideways. ( No under body panelling to access to any cross member or hooks.



We can manage comfortably 40 cars in one day. Total cost $550 including GST

Power curve print out with speed error check. Extra cost for anyone who wants a mixture trace. $11 per car



I presume you will have officials to organize. There is a disclaimer register for each member to sign.

You will need to bring your own BBQ and Coffee urn.



Thank you

even if you get 20 cars, it is alot cheaper than runs in the UK!!! (sorry for the usless fact lol)

**** thats awesome Tim, we payed $60 at a recent dyno day which included food but still thats awesome picing

[Peter Jones]

I'm new to these events. Do you get a chance to tune the car on the Dyno or do just bung it on and get told what the output is?

I have a K-Jet setup on my MK1 and I'd like the opportunity to get the mixtures right. Is this possible during a Dyno day?

bung it on and see what your car is making. The mixture trace is also good cos it can give you an indication if your car is running lean and what not.

Its more of a social thing than anything really. Also good for those boys that are chipped and wanna see where they are at.

Id say that you would require your own personal dyno time which usually gets billed per hour by most workshops.

you know I'm in for whenever, tennis season is over

[Tim]

yeah if we get enough interest ill enquire about booking a date.
But ill probly have to fork out money up front for it which is why i wanna see who is up for it first. If we dont get around 20 people then i dont think ill bother

[velly_16v_cab]

get a list started and then a deposite before booking mate to cover your a$$ (say $15 each)

[Tim]

just putting a bit of a feeler out there to see if people really wanna do this or not.
No need to be to stressed about money up front.

For that cheap you could get the lancer dyno'd I always did wonder how much bhp was in a fart ha ha.

I dont think the Lancer would be able to turn the rollers!!! I would do better on a BMX!!!

I think we may have to contact some of the boys... U should see what some 8v 2ltrs can produce... Plus a Mk1 16v of course

[velly_16v_cab]

for those who have never done a dyno run it is good to see what the car puts out. (it may surprise a few people!!!)

Newport Edition just held their annual one last week back in the UK..gutted i missed that one
