View Full Version : Dyno Day Saturday May 12th 10AM

Alright, so a few of us have been doing some research, talking to some people, building rockets, and picking our noses.... We've been talking about a dyno day for a while now and we have an idea. This afternoon I met with Geoff over at swift motorsports in Norwich. Truely cool dude, shot the shit with him for an hour or so. Here's the deal... Costs 600 smackers to rent the dyno for the day. Or we can go by number of cars. Ten cars for 65 per, or 15 for 55 per. Still not a bad price if you ask me for a couple of pulls! There would be NO tuning performed of coarse. This would entail only figuring hp/torque numbers, monitoring a/f r's and whatnot. (15 cars max for the day)
There are other options though. Geoff said that even if we didn't want to do a dyno day, we have the option of using the switft motorsports lot and have a meet and just hang out there. Lot is a decent size, from walking in and out of the shop I figure we could fit at least 25+ cars. This would still allow a meet, and people who were curious the option to get some pulls in, but not for a group rate price.
We can pretty much chose any date we would like. As of right now the only dates taken are: april 7th, 21st, and 28th. Jeff said he would not need a huge notice in advance, just said to let him know if we wanna get something going.
Here's what I ultimately would like to know:
Would anyone be interested in a dyno day at swift motorsports in Norwich?
My goal is to organize a dyno day/barbeque/meet at their facility, with the possibility of a raffle (have to talk to the others). We could make a day out of it, seeing as how mohegan sun is about a 1.5 miles down the road. Could have a drive, a dyno day/meet, and have some drinks and gambling fun at the casino later on. Post what you think, and offer suggestions if you have any! Thanks for reading my long ass thread!
Check out swift! www.swiftmotorsports.com
Swift also has thier own boards, NETUNERS.... which I signed up for. They're pretty chill over there, I extended the invite to them as well, they have quite a few subie owners over there too!!!
OFFICIAL DATE IS MAY 12TH!!!

Personally i liked the rocket building..
you know I'm in :D
Definetly got my vote for the meet & barbeque. If we can even get 10 people it would be great for a friday or saturday and be able to hit up the casino afterwards for free alcohol and not free gambling..

Swift Subaru
03-24-2007, 06:09 PM
Standard Tuning Rates for AWD are $200 an Hour.
(Not to get anymore off topic)
What are you running for engine Managment?
And we should all hit up the Mohegan Roof top for pics after the Dyno Day!
Then maybe a little gambilng action??
Or at least some grubage...What do u think?

Thought this was a great idea, when you mentioned it. I'm going to look into maybe doing a cruise, considering how the day goes, and the amount of cars that show up.

Dusty B
04-01-2007, 11:47 PM
word i'll add you
fantomas
04-01-2007, 11:48 PM
maybe we should make this a battle of the NA RS's. ie... since theres only 15 slots, only allow NA's to be on the dyno... or maybe swapped RSs too... just so i don't get shit from meghan :rolleyes:
would probably draw a larger crowd...
Dusty B
04-01-2007, 11:51 PM
well we're nowhere near filling all the spots yet. It would be cool to see a mix of both if possible.... Should I put you down for rollers scott?
fantomas
04-01-2007, 11:53 PM
sure but i'll give up my spot if someone else would rather be on it (if/when it gets filled)
C-Rex

Is the dyno open to other cars as well? I have a friend with a 350z and another with a supercharged corrado that may be interested.

I'll let scott answer that... We pretty much just opened this up to csc members and netuners from swift at this point.

Except all of our NA Subies are all pretty much stock... so there should not even be much of a difference. ^^;;

an rs battle would be interesting though, who knows how equal they are just with the slightest mods.

Oh, my bad, I didn't see the post about 15 slots. If someone wants my spot, I'll give it up since I'll probably be getting a tune before that anyway. Keep me on till then though.

weight isn't an issue on the dyno... Power loss can be had if the car is strapped down too tight due to extra parasitic drag, but not because of weight (Unless its Unsprung aka Rotational weight).. :)

Usually strapping the first car down is around 10am... Showing up around 9:30 is usually pretty good, that way we can start to make lists of who is going in what order... things like that...
Also, if you want to make it a little easier on the Swift guys, if there are any cars that ARE NOT awd, make a note of it on the first page... As those guys usually dyno first, because the dyno configuration changes slightly from FWD to RWD and AWD...

They usually start the dyno around 10ish... I plan on being there a few minutes early. We have the dyno for the whole day! When you get there and you want to dyno GET YOUR NAME ON THE LIST. All you have to do is go to the front desk, ask for your friendly swift counterman Geoff, make him sit, lay down, and roll over for a cookie, and get your waiver sheet for the dyno. Those who called for dyno time on the first post have dibs... but who's to say there won't be more time. 15 cars is alot of work just to get dynoed though, so lets play it by ear. If you make it in the pack of the first 15, we will be staying until you get dynoed, there is no definite closing time for the dyno day from what I understand. Hope to see you all there, and more importantly hope everyone has fun!!

I'm not going to be able to Dyno the Legacy due to a series of bad exhuast leaks. Got it up on a lift today and my header is missing a bolt and has about 3 other leaks including a potential small crack. Downpipe is also leaking off the turbo slightly. I will still come by around noon to meet everyone. I can't even begin to explain how pissed off i am right now

get a water sprayer. the n-tercooler is a waste of money. it's only really useful on the dyno or if you drag a lot. Any other time the car is moving enough where just water is enough to fight heatsoak. Plus, who wants to be paying for NOS or CO2 all the time.
Dusty, you were getting heat soak with a FMIC? Didn't they have a good fan in front of it? Spray that pig with the hoose!

water doesn't do the same as soaking it in ice... TRUST ME... Put a bag of ice on a TMIC for 20-30 mins before the run, and DING! 15whp at least.
