Both the 16th and the 30th don't work for me.

Both the 16th and the 30th don't work for me.

my 8 is stock :(

Any of you guys who signed up have Lightweight flywheel, intake, and catback?

That's basically what i have except i have ligher 2 piece rotors as well.

Word of advice, if your wheels are bigger than stock TAKE THEM OFF. The dyno will be pointless and you will be saddened. i.e. EVER, remove the 19's and put the stockers on.

I would do the same. Take off the 19's and put my 17x9.5 +44 NT03+M's on there.

Now question, do we just disable the ABS and Traction control to get good dyno figures? I remember that whole issue with the 8 not getting good dyno readings. I really wanna see what that RB flash did so i'm hoping there are relative comparisons. If he can pull the power i have then shiet, i need the flash. i'm leaving for LA from the dyno directly. hahahahahaha.

thanks, Rishie

Here is more information, this is from the email sent to me:

"David, most of our dyno days we can fit 8 people in a day. We can do more if you like, but that will really depend on. This is how our normal prices break down.

3 pulls 50 dollars
A/F – Tailpipe air fuel ratio curving – 10 extra dollars
Wideband – 25 extra dollars, this is of course assuming people have a secondary 02 bung in their exhaust pipe.

We tune AEM EMS, Haltech, SAFC, for the RX8’s"

Rishie, I hope my bigger tires won't mess with the numbers too much, i'm running 245/45 on 18x8, if you have a set of stockers around that I can use on the dyno maybe that will show true power that the RB flash gave me. Prior to the dyno, I'll wash out the filter, change the oil, and run 87 octane. I do think we need to atleast turn off the DSC, but i'll try on run with the DSC off, then the next two runs with everything off.

I don't think you'll be affected too much 8rotor8 because you do have a lighter wheel and the mass should be about the same. If you increase wheel diameter, that's where you can lose power even if the combinations weigh the same as stock.

I've run into situations like this before with my FC where I had some 18x9.5's in the back with 255's and a basically stock FC pulled more power. I was very disappointed. So always remember to find that balance between power and weight in all aspects. Rotational mass, Sprung and unsprung masses, etc....

If i were to sign up, date pending: I'll list all mods, some might not apply to power output.

i have an a/t, im already going to be dissapointed :D:

Awww, crap! I don't have the stockers anymore. Should I just do it for the hell of it. I"m just wondering how much off the numbers would be...:dunno:

You can always swap tires with another member before you dyno. :)

NOpes, SWAP TIRES/WHEELS ever.

Rishie

we did the same thing down here in the south. we had about 17 cars everyone left there cars as they were just to see what they were pulling with what they had on. but one thing we found that did help was running the car hard just before we dyno'd... #'s were better for the cars that did...

can it be anytime after july 16?

I can set up another one anytime, but for the first one, I don't want to drag it out for too long.

totally understand!
let me know if you're planning for a 2nd one!

Will do! So it seems like the bigger group turn out will be on the 30th. But I'll see who else comes out and wants to do the earlier dyno.

I have thought to myself and much rather go both days. the 16th would be a before turbo dyno and the 30th would be an after turbo dyno! sign me up for both!

OK... so it seems to me the larger group will be for the 30th. If no more people turn out by tonight, then the date will be for the 30th.

YayAreaBruh21, if anything, just call up or email the shop and set yourself a date to get a dyno before your turbo install. Their website is prostreetinline.com, or call them and talk to John.

Dyno Days are SOOO much fun! I organized a SoCal Dyno Day that had 19 RX-8's! :eek: 17 M/T, 2 A/T, and 1 Greddy Turbo

my 8 is stock:(
Don't sweat that at all... you'd be surprised how well some of the Stock 8's did on our runs.


Oh, and here's a little video to tease / entice more people to go to your event...

Thanks Jedi54. Even more strange that you and I are setting up dynos, we have the same birthday.

im gonna have the lowest by far between the 19's and the a/t. maybe i shouldnt do this....

Nrider: do it anyways, it's still fun to hang with other Rotorheads and see what your car can actually put down.

We had 2 A/T's at our Dyno Day and they still had tons of fun

ah you right, who cares about the #s anyway? look out i got 120 rwhp.:)

Nrider: I got $50 says you beat out some of the M/T's in Torque! :D:

Hey guys, I need contact information for the shop. Just PM me your full name and phone number. Unless you are fine with your information open to the club, then just post it up. I need the information to reserve the dyno day.

Thanks!

Nrider: I got $50 says you beat out some of the M/T's in Torque! :D:

thats right! i got 2 more

I want in on the 16th and 30th.


thats 8 people for the 16th how many do u need?

I don't want to get my car dyno'd, but I'm coming to hang out (if I even have my car back by then).

8+ is fine but I'd rather have one larger dyno, then have a second on with only a few 8's. There were 3 others that only want the 30th, but since Throwdown stepped down and YayAreaBruh wants the 16th now. I'll ask the shop if tomorrow if this weekend isn't too late. In order for me to set up the dyno for the 16th I will need everyones contact information by tomorrow morning. If not, then it'll just be for the 30th. :)

ya i wanna get a dyno before i get rbflash to see how much of a gain I will get. so I hope they say yes. Else I will have to find another place by within a day. =p *cross's fingers*

Seems to me the date will be set for the 30th. I still need everyones contact information. Thank you to those 3 that sent it to me already. Again, the shop needs our information, instead of money, to reserve the date. I will need it no later the the 25th. That will give the shop enough time to get the garage ready for us. If I do not get the information by the 25th, I cannot gaurentee that you will be able to dyno. On a side note, I will also have food and drinks ready there for us as well, i'll see if the shop can spring for it, or maybe we can just pitch in $5 each and we'll get a few pizza's.

Thank you to N rider89, YayAreaBruh21, gr8thandling, trancesimulator, tournapart, and RX Guy for sending me your information so quickly. I still need a few more people information to get a final headcount. Ever - Still plan on attending? I sent you a PM but you haven't responded yet.Rishie - Do you plan on doing the dyno, or just going to watch? I tried to PM you but your box is full

so the date is now the 30th correct? as in only one now?

just clearing things up. also if you need some more snacks or anything just tell me and ill help

Yes, only the 30th will be the dyno day. I'll firgure out the food when I get the final head count.

Thanks Niel.

Hey guys i had a question. at the dyno i was wondering if anyone going knows how to install turbo timers? mine recently came in and i am having some trouble installing. if maybe a few of ya guys can get together and help me out between pulls?

thanks,

Did I miss anyone? If there is anyone out there that wants to join our group for the 30th, please let me know by this friday. PM me your name, addy and phone #.

Here is their addy:
Pro Street Online
3302 Arden Road
Hayward, CA 94545

The time of the dyno will be set when I send the final headcount this Friday. If you guys want to set up a place for everyone to meet up. We can meet off the 92 towards Hayward at the starbucks, you'll see a tacobell at the corner of the plaza. We can meet up about 1 hour before the meet. From there it will be about 3 miles to the shop.

Starbucks Address:
245 W Jacksom St
94544

Alrighty people, the dyno is set for the 30th @ 11:00am. If you guys want to meet up at the starbucks please let me know if not, the address for the dyno shop is listed above! Meet me there by 10:30am.

Anyone can come if they like, and I will have food and drinks ready there for us.

Thanks, and I hope all will make it.

More than likely, I will have to meet you guys at the Pro Shop. See you there at 11 AM. BTW if it could be arranged, I would not mind being one of the first cars to dyno. Daipers need to be changed. No not mine. :)

Has anyone else had a previous dyno done before?... If so what was ur numbers (list mods) and if so can u list what new u have on since then thanks.

Shit!, the future is looking brim; I may have to cover someone's shift on sunday:banghead: :Eyecrazy:

Is there room for me? Is there an approx time I can schedule. I might have to work in the morning but can def make the appt.

$60.00 right? or is it less now?

How many spots is there room for on this day total?

Thanks, Rishie

Anyone going to bring some prozac so when we all dyno 175 rwhp we can cheer ourselves up?? ha ha ha :)

I might swing by, not to dyno though, but to eat and meet... but mostly eat :)

you are always welcome rishie! Just come by, it starts at 11am and will finish... who knows when. N Rider dropped out so there will be plenty of time. So I to my understanding the price is $60 but i'll talk to them when I get there.

Ever, you can work sunday no prob. the dyno is on Saturday!

Hmm, ok cool.

Can you PM me your cell # so i can call you. I have to work in the morning but will call before I head up to see how the list is doing.

How long you guys think you'll be there, til what time?

thanks, Rishie

Hello All,

I have someones engine cover from the Dyno meet.

Rob

Pleasure meeting everyone today. Sorry I had to leave early and cold hangout. So who took the crown today as dyno king?

Hmmmm I hope its not mine!!! I won't be able to check til tomorrow!!! did that guy give it to you at the end? how did you get it?

Hmmmm I hope its not mine!!! I won't be able to check til tomorrow!!! did that guy give it to you at the end? how did you get it?

I was checking the oil and noticed I gained an engine cover. I don't u

I was checking the oil and noticed I gained an engine cover.

I just checked, my engine cover is missing, so

any chance you are coming to the meet next friday?

201.50 hp and 143 torque!! our car is capable of hitting over 200 hp NA! :)

Too bad I don't know my full results. 176 @ 7000rpm.... :-/

I'm not too happy with that shop, I'm glad that I didn't get my car dyno'd

what was wrong with the shop?

Grats on hitting 201 hp!

They kept stalling out the cars, and they were having problems registering data from the cars just before 8k rpm. Waste of $60 imo.

cool, I have similar mods. My wheels are 19's tho. Congrats! Were you the only one to get that #?

yep and i never expected to hit these numbers. thanks

Too bad I don't know my full results. 176 @ 7000rpm.... :-/

So on your second try you were able to get 176hp @ 7000 rpms? I was comparing our results on your first run and we were similar at 7000rpms at around 167hp. Between the RF-interference and that 10hp descrepancy, it was a waste of $60.00.

Silvere8's result from 5000 to 6000 rpm shows a consistent +20hp offset compared to the other results. I think it's the racing beat cat-replacement. I will try that modification next and rely on my fatbutt dyno this time. :D

Yup, the second attempt pulled 176. They used jumper cables for better ground, but there was still that problem

Look around, from what ive read RX8's just dont like to be dyno'ed

They aren't that fast either (=0P

ill make it fast!!!!!! LOL

They aren't that fast either (=0P

you'res is pretty quick, dont lie
