DFW dyno day July 23rd
 

The DFW RX-7/RX-8 club is proud to announce a dyno day on July 23rd. We are going to be doing at Rotary Performance in Garland. http://www.rx7.com/
It is an excellent time to see just how much HP your RX is putting out, dial in that fuel and spark map, and hang out with a bunch of cool people.

We will have a registration page up soon. We are still working on a time and cost, but it should start around 10 am, and cost $25 for what I'll guess will be 2 or 3 pulls. We'll have more details as we get closer.

I really REALLY want to do this, but I've already made plans to be out of town. :( Stinks because I'll have another engine mod by that time... and I want to support the cause. :D

I will try to go!

<ahem> you'll be in Austin with me Jenkins.... :(

I am very interested, especially if this is an event where I could get help tuning a CZ unit, is that what is mean by "dial in that fuel and spark map"?

DOH!!!!!! :p

I'd be interested in that. But as I have a stock, automatic RX8, that wouldn't be very exciting on the dyno. Instead, I might bring out the Pantera.

Stock (so far)
 

This sounds like a great opportunity to get a baseline dyno reading for my 8. No performance mods so far, but RB intake and exhaust may be soon, and I lust for a supercharger or turbo in the future.

I had a long and satisfying relationship with my 3rd gen 7 at Rotary Performance.

There will be lots of folks there that have experience with tuning that will be able to help you. Plus we will be at Rotary Performance.

We have a web page avalible to register now, it is here:

It will cost $25 for two runs. I am going to check to see if they have AFR monday and I will post here when I find out.

man I wish I was going to be here, that's an awesome price.

The registartion is back up again if you tried to register in the last few days. $25 for 2 pulls. Unfortunatley their AFR sniffer is broke. We need a few volunteers to help us out with the food. RP is going to supply some hotdogs and beverages. So if you want to help email Tim at: tim@ugly.net or me at: jkrueger_485@yahoo.com. The day will start at 10am.

See ya all there,

I signed up, didn't think I would be able to but the old plans fell through. I should have the new RAM intake installed by then and hopefully my CZ tuned. If I can get to 200WHP my modding days are over (until supercharger comes out).

We had a good turn out for our dyno day. I want to thank all that came out, both those that had their cars dynoed and those that watched. Also, a BIG thanks to Chris Ott and Rotary Performance for letting us use thier facilities.

Top HP "winner" was Micheal's 3rd gen with the Z06 motor at 355 RWHP, The RX-8's were pulling in around 180 RWHP, My 2nd gen was at 275 RWHP, with the other 3rd gens ranging from 240 -300 RWHP. The 1st gens ranged from 94 - 105 RWHP.

Here are some pics from the event.

Now to the important stuff...who is this, and why don't we have frontal shots? :D

You figure it out
 

SD-8 just curious if you figured out what the problem was with your car. Was it a spark problem as suggested by the others. I hope you figured it out and let me know what your dyno gets afterwards if you pull again. I guess I lucked out with the 183 hp stock; the other blue one got 180 I think just FYI.

I'll find out, I just ordered some new plugs from sparkplugs.com, I am putting them in as soon as I get them. Not sure when I'll do another dyno again though.
