ditto for me.

the 19th, i'd have to cancel some plans - which I don't want to do - the 26th is also good for me, but the 2nd is perfect.

8/2 is fine with me as well. I can also do the week before.

ok, who all is going here? Lets make this our next meet. even if ya don't wanna dyno...but I know you doooooo.....

how many do we need Hugo?

IIRC, ten

Mark would be able to answer this for sure.

Maybe I'll Dyno my bike.

that would be cool

Actually, funny you should mention that.

Steve and I went to the Classic Car Show on Elm Street this past Saturday (the 21st), and they had a dyno for motorcycles. It was pretty neat!

Hey Mike! That would be cool, but I don't think you can dyno a bike on that dynomometer. You would need to go to a special Bike Dyno shop. The drum that measures hp and tq is too large for a bike to spin.

Hope you can still make it and dyno one of the cars!

any week is good for me so far. Just let me have some advanced notice when we decide on a final date. (a week or so)

I certainly hope that our dyno day doesn't turn out like last year's (rain) or today (1 zillion degrees). The way I look at it, we have a 50/50 chance. 50% chance it will be 65 and raining 50% chance it will be 95 and humid.

I love NE!!!!!!

you need 10+ on the dyno for a rate of $65(3-6 Runs on the dyno) You drive your own Car aswell.. price includes BBQ
Add $10 for Air Fuel Ratio readings..
If you have 20+ then it will be $60 a Car
You can change out a quick mod while on the Dyno.(intake,Chip,MAF,TB,type of stuff)
once you take you car off the dyno(unstrap it)
you will have to pay to go back on..though at a lesser cost.

those that dont dyno but want to eat it will cost you $5 for the BBQ..

once the date is set and hugo has the go ahead anyone that will be dynoing there car will have to sign up on www.NEDYNO.com

damn didn't take long for this thread to Die...

Don't let it die damn it. I need my car dynoed to see if I wasted all that money I put into it.

I'm down for august 2nd.

I guess I have to get my azz in gear to try and squeeze a few more ponies out through some more home grown mods.

I have an idea, I'm not too sure how well it will work, but if I come across some cash and free time I'll have to go ahead and try it out.

depending on when this turns out I just had a thought.

it would be cool to have a base line on the new car and I could see if the DMD helps or hurts power, might be interesting

Jay the DMD install looked fairly simple, is it and could it be done on a day like this?

again the 2nd is out for me but the others are fine

doing the DMD is only about a 1 hour job. But for a novice I'd say more like 2 or 3. The first time I did one it took a few hours.

Just follow the directions on the How-To here on the site and you'll be all set. All the part numbers are listed there as well. New bolt, new washer and new front crankshaft seal.

If you don't have the puller tool you can usually rent one at a parts store like Auto Zone.

Alright - According to poll, it looks like I will be booking August 2nd as the Dyno Date.

Thanks!

Keep an eye out for the word to signup.

doh

I just realized that I'll be in NH on the 2nd, or at least getting ready to come home.

Maybe I'll have to stop by on my way home if thats the case. We'll see what happens.

awesome....got it in my calendar...can't wait.

now, this is my 1st dyno.

besides an oil change and cleanin my K&N prior is there anything I need to do to get ready?
someone gonna show me what I need to do when I get on the thing? you drive your own car up there right?

yeah - Dean will walk you through the steps. Basically, drive through the gears, till 4th, very slowly, no need to go to high rpms while getting to 4th.

Once in 4th, Dean will tell you to go....Hit the gas pedal hard, don't stop......hit redline, let go.

1) NEVER SHIFT INTO FIFTH.
2) NEVER HIT YOUR BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN!

Other than that. You're done.

Cleaning the K&N is a good idea...although remember, you don't have the 'air movement' as if you are driving on the streets.

If you feel uncomfortable, you can have Dean drive it...or of course, i'm always willing to help! lol.

any advice on the best way to swap out mods in order to get different readings in between runs?

How does it work for automatics? is there a point in time where he tells you to turn O/D on?

I've been dying to get a baseline on my 6. Can a fellow Duratec brethren get in on the action?!?! The 2nd sounds good to me.

of course man.....

just keep an eye out for the word - you will have to sign up on the new england dyno website. i'll let you know as soon as he gets back to me.

it looks like its going to be a small group .. well...at least 10. When you do a run or two, you will stop. You can swap out anything you want - as long as it doesn't hold up the runs for too long. I've done a Superchip swap in the middle, I've seen Intakes, etc....

Great question regarding automatics. I will have to get back to you on that. I will have to ask Dean.

never seen an auto on the dyno.

i'll get back to ya!!!!

good ? kim I have an auto too.

Hugo..i thought the runs were done in third?
at least 3 of mine were and then 2 i did in 2nd to see if there was a difference.

as for autos: there was one there the last time we went.
dean just had him put it in second and get up to 2000rpm and then hold it, then gas it.
as for O/D i dont think you waould want to use it at all, because while in O/D you have no real powere transfer to the wheels, i think if you went into O/D on th edyno you would slow right down.

Runs were done in 4th. Have another beer!!!!!!!!!

ok,

when are we signin up for this thing?

if I have a damn #$(*&#(*@# CEL that I can't seem to get rid of (still problem w/maf I can't figure out) will that cause me problems or lower output on the dyno?

Depends on the code. If the car is running too lean or too rich it will certainly effect your numbers.

Ed, I've still got the P1121 code. I'm mechanically incompetent, so let me know if that means my car is running too rich or too lean.....

P1121 indicates that the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is inconsistent with the MAF sensor. Since you have been having MAF problems, it sounds like it is still not working correctly. Difficult to tell whether this would create a rich or lean condition though...

Could this also indicate a leak between the MAF and the Throttle body... Maybe the TB Gasket??????

Anybody???

The MAF is sensing changes in air flow, but the computer is not receiving an input from the TPS saying that the throttle is opening.

Test your TPS sensor, it may have failed or have open/shorted windings. Likely needs replacement.

J,

is the TPS sensor the black plastic piece that sits on top of the MAF and which gets the plug into it?

any idea how to test the tps sensor?

d

Just curious. Does hot, humid weather have a negative effect on the dyno? The hotter,thick air usually robs horse power correct? Just wondering if august might be a bad time of year for this but i could be wrong.

the numbers are all SAE corrected.. for the conditions

the tps is the black curved plastic peice on the side of the throttle body. to test there should be a certain voltage when the throttle is clossed and it should range to a different value at WOT. sorry but I don't know the voltage values off hand

Originally posted by skunk:

humid air is less dense than dry air

The answer to your question is yes, a hot humid day or any humid day for that matter is not the best choice of a day to do a dyno test on your engine, but since the test equipment compensates for the changes in performance realted to atmospheric conditions there is nothing to worry about.

Cool. Never know 'till you ask .

Guys/Gals, I just checked out nedyno.com and our day is posted up! Please go to www.nedyno.com and click the 'Dyno Signup' on the left hand of the screen.

Select our day and fill out the information.

Sorry for not responding to this thread sooner...just got back from vaca a few hours ago.

Later!

PS - SIGN UP!!!!!!!!!

ya hoo! just signed up. selected afternoon preference....

ooh, theres a viper tune day a few weeks after ours....

d

I also registered.
I don't remember seeing a time slot drop box the last time we had a dyno meet.
I selected morning.

wegistered!

4 people so far! need at least 10 folks....sign up, sign up, sign up.....

Oh yeah, I signed up this morning.

I'm in.

I put morning, whatever that means.

What's the deal if we just want to hang out?

Do we need to sign up or anything?

What's the cost for this again?

you can just hang out no need to sign up..
but if you want in on the BBQ it will cost you $5

BBQ!?!?!

whats on the menu and who's cookin?

are we at 10 folks yet? come one, come on, you know you wanna.....

If we don't get enough people, anyone willing to extend the offer to some NECO folks?
a good chunk of them went to cougarfest where there was a dyno, so I doubt any of them will want to come, but the remaining folks that stayed home may want to get in on this.

Hey Kim - That's a good idea. However, lets hold off on the invite I get a clearer picture of who is coming and who is not. I don't want this meet to end up with 20+ cars....it just takes too long. I think the min. number of cars is good - so I will let you know when you can extend the invite.

Also - Daniel, yes...a BBQ. The $65 price includes 3-6 dyno runs, a BBQ (Dean provides all of the food and drinks and even cooks it up!), a raffle, and a hell of a good time.

So far - (according to this thread)

Hugo
Kim
Mike (CobraR)
Mike (Elky)
Daniel
GreenNuggs

NOTE: ONCE SIGNED UP, PLEASE POST IT HERE SO I CAN KEEP COUNT!!

Thanks.

Is Elky dynoing the hearse???

Well Elky???

Hugo...i haven't signed up yet cause i dont think i'll be dynoing my ride but my Brothers Stang if the motor is put together by then i'll be dynoing that

OHH! I see...its ok. I can support YOUR events...but you can't support MY events!! pfft.

haha. its all good man...i'm only kiddin.
i'll give you a call tonight when i go home from work.

hopefully your bro's motor is running to get some numbers!

should be in the 450+ range...

i would dyno the hearse, but i want new numbers fo rthe SVT.
from the factory the hearse had 375hp at the crank.

that's cool. I want as many Contours there as possible anyway. I can't wait to see if I gained anything from my UIM/LIM cleaning.

I don't even know what the BUTT dyno says cause my friggin IMRC grommet snapped on me....so me needs to get another one FAST before I can bolt the rest of the car up and start her up!

i just had to change my Mercedes C-Spot drve party reservation!
i totaly forgot i had it planned for the 2nd!
haha

what G spot party? and I wasn't invited?????

oh, sorry, I see now...

G-Spot?

haha
sorry man, only females invited to my G-spot party!
hahah

I will know by tomorrow for sure, but I am 95% sure I will be signing up.

100% sure now; just signed up.

Almost forgot - I think I would like to do one run with the MAF screen in and one with it out to see if there is any difference. I think that may put some debate on this site to rest and I am very interested if there is any difference.

thats a very good idea!

i guess i gotta get my arse in gear and do my intakes and plug/wires!
haha

That's a great idea. Also, if Jay is unable to make it, someone can test out his theory regarding the Air Filter cap (KKM IIRC). That blue cap that goes in one end of the filter.

no need to re-test it hugo.
he proved it last time with a 6hp increase with the cap in.

Originally posted by ElKy:

Oh really? I didn't think he removed the cap. I know the cap was in but I thought he forgot to remove the cap.

I did. But if I remember you had to leave early. After you left and everyone was through, myself and a few others paid extra for a second dyno run and thats when i got in a few more runs with and without the cap in the KKM. It was a suprising increase in power from capping the end of the filter.

I never tested the idea with the MAF screen, but I tried it once at home and the butt dyno said there was better throttle response and a little more power especially in teh low RPMs. The dyno is the best place to test it out since you get real numbers rather than just relying on the sensation of acceleration during road testing without any kind of test equipment.

ok. cool. Yeah, I had to take off that day - 45 minute drive back to New Bedford, then a 4 hour drive up to Bartlett, NH! That sucked. In the rain & snow up there....took move like 6 hours to get there. damn - that was a rough day.

so a 6hp increase. wow. that's pretty significant.

Originally posted by GR8SVT:

I wonder how sitting still on a dyno effected his numbers......

You would think that moving at highway speeds or city traffic would effect airflow around the filter and maybe the numbers would be different

becasue the filter is tucked up in the corner of the engine bay I'm sure that there would be air flow around the filter but I don't see it being all that signifigant since its not directly in any kind of air stream.

However, I could see that the air flowing into the engine bay being warmer than at the dyno where it was indoors and the hood was open. On the highway, most of the air that comes into the engine bay has to first pass through the radiator where it will pick up some heat from the hot water inside the rad. Also have to take into effect ground level temperatures on the pavement, where on a sunny day they can be up to 50 degrees hotter than the air just a few feet off the pavement.

Very good point Ed.

Normally, numbers will be higher and "driving effects" will be felt more while driving on the streets (of course, the cooler the better) - ESPECIALLY when its intake related modifications.

That's a 6hp increase with still air.
This could effect it negatively as well. The plug could be blocking extra air that is coming in the the fender walls, however, with a 6hp increase with the cap in on the dyno....I leave the cap in and smile.

so, whats our count at now? I think we're still under 10 right?

and are we showing up am or pm? lets all pick a time to meet...

Some of us met up on 495 around 8:30 and drove in from there.

Time to meet will most likely be in the 9 to 9:30am range.
That AM/PM selection doesn't really apply to us.

Currently we have 7. It's close so I'm going to hold off on have Kim extend the invite to the Cougar guys/gals.

If we get 10, that would be great, because that way, 1) it doesn't take as long and 2) the food will be served earlier and 3) there won't be such a rush to get a car on and off the dyno!

We'll wait another few days. Hopefully some more people sign up!

Where is Sergei anyway?? Has anyone kept in touch with him?
I'd like to check his car out and finally meet the guy! lol.

I thought Taynar was originally interested. Are you still interested?

I'll try and do some recruiting

yes , tanner said he wantedto dyno.

i will ask andy tonight if he wants to dyno the lightning or maybe his new car, he got rid of the Crown vic and got back an older caprice he used to own.

Nope. The seven that I said are those who have signed up.
Hopefully - you will be able to make it so that brings it to eight. So we would need two more.

don't worry. Just a few private invites to some people who haven't posted in this thread yet.

easy.

No reason he couldn't just show up. I'm sure he'd like to see what the SCSVT can put down for numbers.

true.

but we need 10 cars to dyno, not people, to get the discount.

i'm sure you already knew that.

I sent an E-mail to Hmouta about this thread since I haven't seem him post here yet, but I thought he might be interested.

if not i'll dyno my RSX..

Boy, I sure would like to go, but I don't think I can get the day off from work. Where and when are most people meeting? I might still have a shot.

Roy

the place is in worcester..Aug,2 at 9am

most of the NH people meet up on 495 i think at the chelmsford rest area around exit 32-34

Hope you can make it!

i cant make it. no cash and no mods since last dyno.

At some point, I'd be curious to see what Robin's mustang puts down... not going to be able to make this one, though!

TTT.

We currently have 8 who have signed up.

Just two more.

I know we had talked about the Cougar guys, but if we STILL can't get more after that, I could extend the invite to some of my 6 friends in the area. There's not that many, so I doubt many if any would jump at it. Let me know.

that reminds me, Andy is not gonna dyno the lightning, he doesnt want to beat on it!
hahaha

I might be interested in going to watch and hang out. I would pay for the BBQ. I don't need to sign up for that, do I?

I'm really not interested in dynoing since I have no mods to speak of. It would probably register low since I have never cleaned any part of the engine ('cept MAF sensor, thanks Kim) and now have 78,000 miles.

Ya Man!!! I did this last year and my numbers came out exactly stock. I just didn't believe Ford's numbers so I had to find out myself.

hehehe

I am glad I didn't get more than I paid for.

I signed up for the morning.

Maybe I will test drive a G35 that day and take a side trip to the dyno....

Ps> Seriously, I am very interested in how my numbers come out. I have noticed more of a difference on the low end than the high end with my mods since the last dyno.

1. New Exhaust Manifolds
2. Cleaned UIM/LIM/TB
3. Open Intake + Heatshield.
4. Opimized TB
5. Brullen Cat Back

I wonder, I am guessing 165 FWHP and 153 FWTQ....

that reminds me....
i better get my ass in gear and clean my intakes!!

Originally posted by ElKy:

Maybe you can do a couple of runs and then we can all help you clean the intakes while on the dyno. You can then do a couple of more runs to compare.

HAHAH
that would be kinda fun!

That makes 9 signed up....I'm sure we can scrounge one more up and not have to extend the invite to too many people!

I just signed up for the am.Sorry i'm late signing up.I'll also be sporting ne-ceg gear

.See ya there!!

Great!

That makes TEN! (including YOU MARK!!)

No need to extend the invite guys. Lets get some more Contours there!

Where is Sergey anyway!?!?!

I'm unfortunatley not going to be able to make it.

I just found out that the person who I helped out with plowing snow this winter is having a cook out/party for everyone that did something to help him out since he was unable to do much work himself since he was recovering from congestive heart failure.

My friend Dave wants to put his truck on the dyno.I'm going to get his info and sign him up.He did a chip and exhaust and wants to check the gains.

what kind of truck and what was his baseline dyno?

just a guess. considering 10 people with a few runs each plus a bbq....what time do you think it'll end?

1 quick question here for those that know their shite.

Is is ok to dyno without the air filter at all? I'm curious to know how restrictive the stock airbox assembly is.

Not sure exactly how this is going to run. What I'd REALLY like to do is get a 2 baseline runs, take the car off the dyno and do the airbox mod (removing restrictive unneeded plastic pieces of the aibox) and then put that bad larry back on the dyno and get 2 more.

you dont want to actually take the car off the dyno...you will be charged twice.
do two runs...turn the car off..take your airbox off...do two more runs.
all done!

starting at 9am with only 10 on the dyno it will be over around 12-1pm the latest..and thats taking there time..

with 15+ cars its is over come 1-1:30...
then people usually just hang around talking and stuff..

I'm working friday night at the fire house and my shift ends at 7am sat. morning. If a late call comes in and i get out of work late just save me a spot my butt will be there.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I have a 2:00 PM appointment in Nashua I have to make. I am assuming we will be finishing up around 1:00 PM with the limited amount of vehicles we have.

That temperature would be nice though. Low 70's are perfect IMHO

nope - you have to stay outdoors - you get soaked.
j/k

the place is indoors and last time I went, it rained and we have 20+ people in there and it was fine.

Unless of course, you wanna hang outside...go ahead! lol.

i seen that last night and just laughed and said well another rainy dyno day..

Any more room on the dyno. Really don't feel like reading all the post (sorry really bad day at work, I think that I have enough a$$hole$ to $hit for the whole week without wipping my ass). Anyway that is all the venting that I am going to be doing for now.............

I am a cougar owner and was wondering if I could join in in this event. Let me know if it will be happening this weekend so that I can call Dean up and make a special request. Thanks again. Talk to you later.

OK, who is going to meet up in this spot. I think it is Mike, Kim, Elky and myself??? I think we should make it so we leave by 8:30 at the LATEST. So maybe meet up around around 8:20.

me be there at 8:20AM

tricky chick!

i really dont think the SVY will be getting a UIM/LIM cleaning before the dyno.
i will only have part of tomorrow to do it.
so i guess i will just change the plugs and wires and fuel filter.
oh well

If you want to give it a try, I am available to help tomorrow. Just not sure if you want to tackle that the day before the dyno in case of problems.

i appreciate the offer, but i have mesh to package and ship and then i woulw have to start teh intake.

and with my luck something would break or get lost.
so depending on how brave i feel, i might be calling you

I may have to meet up there to. Not exactly sure where "7 Lenora St" in Worcester is. Mapquest says to take exit 12 off of 290. That right?

Which rest stop is it exactly? It must be past Rt 3. Getting there at 8:20 in the morning on a Saturday no less will be doable.

First rest stop after passing Route 3. I believe it is also past the Route 4 exit as well. Exit 12 off of 290 is correct. CobraR got us there last time and I hope he comes through in the clutch again.

Doh!! I guess I'll have to refresh my memory. I believe exit 12 is the Brosnahan Square exit, then we head towards Milbury.

make sure we wear our ne-ceg tshirts.

let me know how you guys are going down. I live in Marlboro off 495, so I could meet you all en route.

I'm not going up to the rest stop, but if you're taking 290, Rt9 or Mass pike, let me know the time and route and I'll meet the caravan!

d

If all goes to plan we'll be leaving the Chelmsford rest area around 8:30, and my guess is its 15-20 minutes to 290. If you have a 2 way radio tune it to channel 12 and we'll try to find you over the waves.

Yeah, we are going 495 to 290. Its up to you if you wanna wait on the highway. If you want, you can PM Kim you cell phone number so we can call you when we are close to 290.

Well sweet. Surely looking forward to finally getting some numbers for my car! AND hanging out with some sweet CSVTs and their owners! I'm pretty sure I'm going to roll to the rest stop. I'm pretty sure I'm rolling solo to unless my bro gets the day off, so if you see a blue 6, dont make the guy in the car feel left out

Going out tonight so I'll probably be a little

and

at 8:15 tomorrow morning. Hopefully no

See you tomorrow!

got the cell phone number.
I'll be sure to call.

Oh Boy.... That makes two of us......

I wish I could head up but I only have a six hour window, if I have it, and that is to far to go from nearly the NY/CT line
