going to dyno on fri
 

any pointers?

things to have ready ---- like that.

and the notoriously gay questions.

any ventures on what i might make?

first time tuning on a dyno.
i "tuned" the car at like 13psi on the street before.
it ran real good.

want to go for as much boost as it takes to max out my injectors.

set-up:
d16a6 engine (rebuilt head)
block posts
arp headstuds
cometic HG
76mm vitaras
h-beams
acl bearings
450 dsm blue tops
xeno 255lph pump
egay bluuuur mani
60 tirm t3 .48/.60
60mm TB
"the wheeze" intake manifold

more ------ quirks and problems then i know what to do with

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

Dont brake on the dyno, and dont let go of the wheel til the wheels stop turning. Both will result in failure. :y

I always have at least 2 sets of plugs with me.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

Thought you were selling the car??

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

this is a pretty good pre dyno check list

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

would have taken too much of a loss, would not have been able to purchase another vehicle/motor with the money i would have made.

so i forked out some money and got it going again.

wow, good list.

i could break that down and i probally would have half of the ---- that he suggests.

do i really need to have an exhaust?? all i got is about 12" long downpipe

and new cap and rotor, and all that ----.

i mean this car is homemadeturbo, which in my case means that if i didnt have it i made do.

and fancy ignitions and exhausts and ---- just aint my thing.

and no oil leaks??? like anywhere? cuz i have little leaks on the valve cover and what not.

and my a/c wiring is just hacked out. dont have a/c, no power to a/c so would that matter???
if thats what you need maybe i should cancel this dyno.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

Props to you for that. I may put mine on rollers this Saturday, actually. If the new 02 sensor I have on the way clears up the issue with my wideband. We'll compare #'s.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

I thought the list was when you get it tuned by a tuner from there. Like a way to protect themself...

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

where are you going to dyno?

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

yimi sport in saugus

funny thing is they may not let me dyno.

i dont think they have seen an hmt build, just grips of subies and evos. so the mess scared them.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

lol

bump

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

im in for the updates!!!

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

apparently i cant run until i have a full exhaust.

i was talking to a guy that has a shop behind them tho,

he just fucks around i think but hes got one of those dynos you bolt to the hubs.

i dont know how well those work though.

hes cheaper too, just has to happen on his schedule so next week.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

Dynapacks?

They are pretty sweet, by removing the noise from the tire interface it's super easy to hear a single cylinder misfire.

Yah, you need a full exhaust.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

yeah, thats not gonna happen.

maybe like 3ft of 3" dumping out the passenger side of the car.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

That works, too. No shop wants to crawl under your car to barely reach your exhaust exit with their sniffer, or an exhaust vent if they have one.

The car being rough is what it is. If it looks like it's a disaster and the owner has no clue shops will shy away. IMO half the fun jobs I tune come from guys who know the ropes and don't give a ----; "push limits and it if blows up I knew it was a piece of ---- anyway" is my favorite mentality.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

thats me. though i hope it dosent blow

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

I command you: go forth and become D16Z6-Y8.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

no open dump!

on the dyno my dump was being sucked back into the turbo and killiing my hp

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

what did he make on the dyno?

his turbo is way bigger than mine, and i think that my compression is alot lower.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

309/250.

Yea your compression is probably a .5 roughly lower than mine. Shouldnt make MUCH of a difference.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

whatd you make before the vtec head?

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

280.

Soon to be more. Hopefully haha. Tuesdays my retune.

Re: going to dyno on fri
 

as far as ur little oil leaks...i don't think the little ones around the VC matter as long as ur aware of em and dont let em puke oil on their nice floor.

I just noticed this post and I wanna know how it went. Could also do a cheap side exit exhaust just to make the dyno owner happy if u have to.

Good luck.... I hope u made something serious.


That whole "I don't give a ----" is the only way not to be heart broken when a car blows up.
