Hey guys,
It's about that time again for my car to get back on the dyno before some of the final mods go on.

I'm looking to see what kind of interest there is in getting your cars on the dyno to see what kind of power you're putting down. (betcha its more than mine... )

Anyway - $65 for the following:

3-6 Dyno Runs
You get to drive your car on the dyno.
Free Lunch - Grilled food such as burgas, hot doggers - chips and soda all included...(and you don't even have to cook!)
Automatically get entered in a raffle (I won a T-Shirt last time! )
Lots of BS time and lots of information to be picked up from the dyno.

I have about 5 cars right now - including me.

The place will be in Worcestor, MA - New England Dyno & Tuning. www.nedyno.com - go there and check it out - he gets some exotic cars and is a well known dyno tuning shop!

Let me know if you're interested in going. I'm looking at late October - possibly early November on a Saturday.
I need a little more than 5 more cars to get that price. If you're interested, post it! I will continue to post more details as they come along.

Here is the viper club that regularly goes there -


It's a definate good time had by all!

sounds great!
I was gonna ask if you were still planning on setting this up, as I believe you once mentioned it not too long ago.
Not sure mine's worth dynoing, but I'll still attend to help out with costs (and of course meet up with all of you's guys)

kim (edit) and Brapple (edit)- EVERY car is worth dynoing. I learned this the first time I went. I only wish I had a good baseline numbers for the SVT prior to modding it. This is why I went a few months back - got my **not so great** numbers, but now after a chip, new intake, dmd - i think i should do a little better.

then after the final mods go on - it should be better than those. The thing is - if it isn't - then I know to go back and figure out what's wrong.

Especially after my Superchip install. My code (RJL1) has been known for either producing good gains - or losing good numbers! This is why I need to get on there....

its worth doing. Period.

Kim - what would really be interesting is doing a base run with your car - put the stock air filter back on - run it. put the KKM on - run it again. see what the gains are. You already have the exhuast on - so you're numbers should be better than a stock SE or cougar.....Come on....DO IT! LOL!

Let me know if you're in....and maybe talk Mike into going too! Tell him to get that thing out of the garage! lol

I'm sure he'll want to go.
honestly, I'm not really interested in knowing how fast (heh or slow) my car is, etc.
and before anyone wants to rip into me about "well then, why do you bother modifying it" believe me you don't want to hear, so I'll spare you all by not listing the reasons why.

wow - great response guys!!!!!!
I'm impressed!

Jay - Worcestor is not too too far from where you are. I'd say less than 1 hour.

I will keep you guys up to date on ... the date lol!

The list from this group includes:

Me
Hugo M.
Brapple
Kim
CobraR
Elky
Baco - maybe (date)
SMcD - maybe (date)
JSmith - maybe


Again - the more the better. However, the more we have, the less chance there will be for you to do a run, change something (ie, intake, etc...), then do another run. If we do that with a lot of people, things tend to get out of schedule - and is usually not cool for the other 10-15 people waiting there. It takes about 10 minutes to get one car off the dyno and snap the other car on.....
That's just to let you know. Most likely - this will be the case if everyone shows up. The reason the price is so cheap for the amount of runs is because you're all basically splitting the cost of the hourly cost (which is discounted for groups like ours to begin with).

Thanks guys!!!

F tha Bullshite, The reason Topsfield sounds so far away is because it is!!!!! He lives in Dartmouth I live in Brockton which I know is closer to topsfield than Dartmouth but still out in the boonies!!!! Don't they have some sort of fair out there or something? Whatever it is, it can't compete with the brockton fair!!!!!

i'm gonna check out the web site, but i am more interesting in finding out where there are deficiencies in the car, timing, spark, etc... than Max HP. especially for the MG.

hopefully it'll make the ride to worcester.

if i don't do the dyno, i'll come by an watch. i've never seen one run before.

thanks!

Exactly what I was thinking!

I'm not really planning on spending any more big money on this car, but I'd love to see one up there.

Count me in!!!!! I am not able to go the first weekend in November, but weekends around that are free.

I am thinking along the same line as Baco. I would be interested in timing/spark as well as HP. It would ne nice to see the HP and TQ curves to see if my car needs a tune up or tuning.

Is there a maximum number of people that will be allowed to attend? (for time restraint purposes and such).
I'm curious because I'm wondering if you'd like me to post a link to this thread over on MASS/CONN NECO and see if any Cougar people would like to also attend.
It's your call Hugo.

thanks Ed!!! Anyone else with dates?

Kim, I would hold off right now on inviting the Cougar group. Reason is exactly like you mentioned - we'll see how many people we have at first - honestly i think we are going to have enough people to get the $65 price.

My goal is to get JUST ENOUGH people to get the $65 price, and to get as many runs as possible. If we have 20 people on the rollers, most likely, we'll be on the dyno for only 3 runs. hahahah I want the $65 bucks to be worth it! lol

I'll let you know Kim, after I see how many people we can get for a particular date.

Thanks everyone!

I vote for the 26th.

I'd like ot get at least 2 runs in. One with the stock air box and one with the KKM with heat shield, and maybe a third run could be with the KKM without the heat shield, like that would make any differece unless its wickid hot!!

again - the more people go, the less likely you will be able to do that. you will get more than 2 runs in.

i just want to be clear about that - not my rule - Dean's....

I'd also like to do 2 runs. One run with stock induction system to get a baseline, then a second with with all my induction mods, and if there's time a third run to test my theory that the center cone element on the KKM actually causes a restriction in flow due to turbulence at high RPMs

OK everyone - It's official.
Dean has reserved October 26, 2002 as NE-CEG/CLUB-RSX day.
Yes - I had 7 definates so it needed to be expanded to another group in order to get the discounted price.
There will be ~ 4 RSX's and about 7 Contours.
The RSX guys are awesome - very cool and easy to get along with. I attended their Dyno Meet last time (only non-rsx) and they welcomed me with no problems.....

Now - the next step.

Those who have expressed definate interest in going -

Kim
Mike - CobraR
Mike - Elky
Brian - Brapple
Hugo - HMouta
JSmith
Ed - ED98.5SVT
Me


And anyone else who is interested in bringing their NE-CEG Vehicle - go and signup at www.nedyno.com
Click the Dyno Signup Icon.
Select NE-CEG/CLUB-RSX on the drop down box.
Fill in rest of info.

Since I think we have enough for the discount - please keep this to only CEG vehicles (ie, only Contours, Mystiques, Cougars). Same will be relayed over to the RSX Club.

If we are short a few cars - I will let you know and you can bring other types of vehicles - but only if we are short.

Sign up! It's gonna be a fun day! And since its towards the end of October - the weather should be nice and cool!!!!

Later!!!

But if you still need someone to get the group rate I will do my best to go. If not I may go anyway to watch....just still a bit to early for me to tell now that I think about it more.

I'm glad this was brought up. I was led to believe that since my name was on the list here I was all set.

I guess I need to visit their site and let 'em know I'm comming.

If you mean this to mean puking you must label it as such. Example: <----- puking

So I think it is safe to say that his burgers are very good.

Hell, Steve's married and I'm sure he would jump at the chance. It's the same old thing ALL the time...he he!
He would be up for something new, I'm sure! Something new to drool over (cause I've been nothing to drool over for a while now)!
Probably blow that pic up poster size and keep it in the spare bedroom/computer room!!! It would give his fishies something good to look at!

yeah only if she doesn't attempt to rub herself all over the paint (pfft like she could with that 3 foot zaino force field)

I think I'm faster to jump at looking at hot chicks than Mike is.
hell I point them out for him to look at.


btw I just now finally registered on the website for the dyno day.
sorry it took me so long.

I had to bring this to the top.

I need to make sure everyone is set to go. More information will be posted later. If you're going, please sign up.

I think right now we have a total of 14 cars on the dyno that day!

I'd like to go, but I don't need to dyno the car. I'd like to come down and see how you guys do, maybe video tape the cars. You think they would mind? I can't believe I didn't know that place existed!

i think 14 is plenty. we should get a lot of runs with 14 attending. I just wanted to make sure that everyone who said was interested, was all signed up....

also - ryan, its not a big deal to show up and watch. i mean, i'm sure we're not going to have fenway park there (which would be bad) but the group? no problems at all.

i think he charges something like $5 to eat the barbeque buffet though if you are not on the dyno....and of course, no raffle. lol

if you're not going to bring your SVT, then by all means, bring the MG. we can also put the Tow truck that will be bringing you to and from the dyno shop on the dyno! lol! j/k.

I can just imagine my car on the dyno, hopping and skipping around on the rollers. At least I could see which tires are the worst . If I'm not doing anything I may come on by, but no plans to dyno.

we're only required to preregister, not prepay.
you pay when you actually get there.
so if the car makes it there, then you pay and do your dyno.
sound good?

Dean also accepts checks. And this year he has a new wideban o2 sensor, and new FWD straps. He also has it so you drive straight in onto the rollers instead of backing in now. I think the eye watering runs from Fred Hurder's SC SHO did him in . I may come down and visit, but NESHOC is having a dyno day the weekend after, so that's when I'll be running.

I did a Mapquest -- it's near Greenwood St.? That's a hop, skip and jump from my house, never mind my school! When I find out my work schedule I'll see if I can go to watch!

although it did help me find out my friend lives 10 minutes away from those sniper shootings (he's at home right now)

antonio wright lives about 1 mile from the bowie, md shootings. it's tough according to him.

i was kidding about the 'Mapquest matty' although it does have a good ring to it.

well, i had to order my air filters for the MG online. i hope they arrive before next weekend! the old ones are gross.

the bad news is, i went to work on the car today and the rear tyre was flat. i didn't see any holes (used the soapy water technique), so i think the pressure got low enough for the seal to open up. the other side was only at 12 psi! i used fix-a-flat just in case, put all the tyres are 32 psi, and hopefully the MG will be ok for saturday.

i want to see this baby hit 60 HP!!!

OK, how are we going to get to this thing. I think we should all meet up and drive out together; similar to what you guys did last weekend.

I will be cranky if it starts at 9:00 AM...

Mike and Kim and myself can meet Elky on 495 somewhere and head out from there.

Any ideas?

considering the number of people that will be there and the likelyhood that we'd even get to start at 9, I was thinking of arriving "fashionably late".
Ed, meeting up sounds like a good idea.
perhaps meet at our house first in Manch and then we can meet up with elky in Chelmsford?

well, I should be there at 8:30 - 9am the latest.
I won't be able to hang around too long because I need to drive 2 hours all the way back to lisa's house to pick her up to drive 3.5 hours up north to the white mountains.
i have a long, NEEDED, weekend getaway with Lisa and I need to be there on Saturday at a decent time.
I'll probably hang 'till 12:30 or 1. Also depends on how long it takes to get there. I forgot how long it took me last time.

anyway - what I was going to say is - try to get there at a good time. Don't get there too late so we can at least have an idea of how to plan out who is going to run what.

also - if you are planning to do some mods in between (if its allowed, which i think it is), then get there early.

the earlier the better in that scenario. you wouldn't want everyone standing around while you mod your car to get another run in.

meeting at 9:30 at the chelmsford exit sounds good to Mike and I.
Just a matter of Brian and Ed confirming whether they'd like that time as well.
Ed, this would require you to arrive at our place promptly at 9 or even a couple minutes sooner.
I estimate that we will then arrive in Worcester at around 10:30.

Ok People. this is an email from today this evening.

Hey Mark,
We have 17 cars signed up so it should be an awesome time! You bet we are ready to go! Doors will be open by 8:30 so feel free to roll in whenever you like.
The price is $65 or $75 with Air/Fuel Testing and up to 6 runs if needed. $5 for those who just want to eat. If you have an idea of how many just want to just eat send it so I have plenty of food.... but I always do!
Thanks for setting this up -- we will make sure everyone has a good time!

Thanks,
Dean
www.nedyno.com

get there early.
can't wait this should be a good time.

What about if you put the snow tires on the GL and take that to the dyno. It'd be interesting to see what the GL can put down for numbers.

Oh yeah, if its snowing I might have to bring my dodge. I won't be putting it on the dyno though. I know its numbers won't be very impressive other than that it will make a measley 180 or so HP around 2500 to redline (2800) and about 300 - 360 lb-ft somewhere around 2000 RPM.

i don't think it's gonna snow this weekend, maybe rain in the evening. my wipers work!

and since they open so early, if you NH guys and Elky want to head out maybe 30 minutes earlier, i'd be up for that too...

hey bud,
i'm pretty sure you can keep the mirko on.
the rollers aren't tall at all and if worse comes to worse, you'll just back up. but i really don't think you need to take it off.

also - i would love to check the mirko out in person so if you do take it off, can you bring it? i am battling my bwains out trying to figure out what i want to do in terms of front splitters are concerned.

i hope that helps.

Elky - I appreciate you bringing the mirko. Thanks man.
About the 'Van dynoing'....can you send an email to Dean (his email address is on the site but i think its nedyno@aol.com). our email server has been down all day so I can't find out. I think its $65 per car though. Maybe Mark can chime in when he gets home?

Thanks Elky!!

i'm getting the a/f ratio tested on my car. last time, it looked like i was running a little lean on the topend.

and so i need to see if the chip is helping out the fuel curve at all....not like it matters. its getting reburnt very soon for my headers and throttle body anyway and to eliminate the speed limiter and raise the revs.

Looks like I'm gonna have to pass this Saturday.
I've been on the fence about it for a while, trying to weigh out the reasons why I should and shouldn't and there just seem to be too many reasons against my attendance.
First and foremost is that I signed up to take the CPA exam last minute, therefore have had limited time to study for it, and have not even begun any of it yet.
I really need to study for this thing.
there are a billion other reasons why I can't/don't want to go, but I'll spare you.

I'm gonna email Dean and see if this will cause a problem since I already registered. I doubt it will though. There are already plenty of people registered by now for the discounted price.

cool. Elky, i'll meet @ your house around 830.

do you think getting the A/F is worth it for me? the MG has a very simple system with no computerized monitoring. how does their A/F sensor work? is it mechanical or strictly electronic?

if they have a way of checking to see where the car is running rich (which i am sure it probably is), that might be helpful for tuning the carbs.

kim, it shouldn't be a problem. just let dean know so he can know how many mouths to feed. lol

the cpa exam is definately higher priority and i wish you luck. i know i'm not a big fan of studying but if you can get through the studying - you'll be fine.

hope everything is ok in terms of reasons you "can't and don't" want to go.

baco - i wouldn't think the a/f ratio test is necessary for you. it's your 10 bucks though! lol

they do - they go by rpm range and they show the graph through the band. you will see any dips or surges at the exact rpm.

thanks.

Mike(Elky) its $65 per car boss.
sorry but your idea would be the smart
way of doing it but they have to strap
and unstrap both cars so thats why he charges
it that way.
i dont make the rules or try to break them
sorry again boss.

Sure, we can meet up. You'll be heading there by way of 84 east, right? If so, we can meet up off 84 in Manchester, near the Buckland mall. I've got to head there tonight to get some stuff anyways so I'll look for a place to meet right near the highway.

Usually, i've been meeting people in a rest area further down 84 after the exit for UCONN, a commuter lot right off exit 69. (get off the exit, turn right at the end of the ramp and then immediately left into the lot) If I can't find an easy to get to spot in Manchester we'll meet here.

I'll send you a e-mail and post the info later.

OK, you guys are going to be there at 9:00 yes???? The rest stop is on 495 South towards Worester and is past Route 3 as you are heading in this direction??? So, if I were getting off of Route 3, I would hit 495 South and look for that rest stop??

OK, you guys are going to be there at 9:00 yes???? The rest stop is on 495 South towards Worester and is past Route 3 as you are heading in this direction??? So, if I were getting off of Route 3, I would hit 495 South and look for that rest stop??


yes ed.

see you all there at 9.

baco, i will see you at my house by 8:45 the latest!
