Please tell me someone is bringing a decent video camera? And will share the vids?

I am bringing my camera and will have plenty of pics to share. We need a way to share pics because I know someone else will have better pics than me.

Ideas?

 

Jeff's plane was delayed about an hour but he is safely on the ground and checking into the hotel. After that they are on their way to my house to see if we cant get my car running better.

I can bring my camera and video camera. My brother in law will be with me and he takes awesome pictures.

 

I'm ready! Any chance I can come down tonight?

 

I have a possible last entry person. He will be coming from Toronto Canada... what are his odds of getting on the dyno.
He wants an MM tune and has bought the AP from MM... handle = RX8Thunder

 

^ That would be me. Also need some sways installed. If Charles has flywheel and clutch with him, I could go for that as well. Don't want to drive 8 hours tho unless I know I can get a tune. Anybody know for sure if there is room?

 

Come on down. Im sure we will find a spot for you. If we're short on time I will relieve my spot since im dyno only. Main thing for me is to get the power steering working again Lol but you better leave now and step on it

 

Count me out.... Lost the alternator and a coolant seal yesterday..... Maybe next year

 

I'm not local but sorry to hear of the problems.

Good luck to everyone getting tuned and making Ray work.

Looking forward to the pics.

 

I will be heading over there in less than 2 hours to check out the POWAH that is a dyno day!!!

Hopefully I'll be able to drag some people to the lakeshore meet for a nice cruise

Putting camera in the car now so I can grab some pics for those who aren't local.

 

Wish I could have stayed to see the big boys run. Thanks for the day. I'm the guy with the MS3.

 

^ ehhh we didn't even run....we have some shitty things to get worked out so you didn.t miss it haha. But, hopefully my new wastegate will be in this week sometime and then I can get on the dyno. Performance will be videotaping it and it will be on youtube. So, then you all can see.

 

This was my only dyno. I'm at 2:46.

255hp/286ftlb

 

That MS3 pulled really hard. I am definitely getting the turbo itch... even though both turbo 8's weren't running well yesterday

I had a good time, look to see yall at more meets this summer.

 

Hey, any before-and-after dyno results with the Accessport? I'm just about to buy it but I'm waiting to see what numbers/improvement people saw this weekend....thanks.

 

I have the photobucket account setup. PM for the username/pass for it. URL is www.photobucket.com/mazdarx8club

 

results - we want results!!!!

 

FYI Mustang Dyno was used. All the cars did runs with the AP only so no base #'s are known. Except for me since MM went back to stock after my first run to check some issues with my AFR had. Most of the MT NA 8's ran b/w 175 and 177 WHP. Better results were seen from the nitrous 8 and the ported 8. I won't say what they got, I'll leave it up to them. As for me my stock run had 164 HP and my AP run had 174. So that is a 10 HP increase with the AP. Pretty happy with the results. All in all it was a great day, Just sad that the big boys were not running right. Maybe next time As usual the RX-7's broke before the meet (runs and hides)

 

I made 158 with exhaust only. So all the AP guys dynoed around 15 hp more than me. My graph is real bumpy though. I'm at 50k with original coils plugs and wires. Looks like I need to replace all these.

 

Who can I talk to about getting my Dyno chart from this weekend? (my car was there, but I wasn't).

 

i say talk to the shop. they should have it on file.

 

I was the second last dyno of the day and time was running short.

So I'm sorry I don't have a before and after dyno for the AP.
However I've owned the AP for a month or so and following Mazdamaniac's instructions I was pretty much dialed in already. Jeff made some corrections both for the NA driveablitly and for my N2O setup. The tune feels great.

During the day I also had the pleasure to work with CRH while he installed my Progress Tech sways and his BHR radiator. Thanks Ray it was great as always and I hope we can arrange a Detroit meet this year. Special thanks to Alneilson who assisted Ray the installation while I stood around with my thumb up my ***.

So here's the poop:
First run NA on Jeff's AP tune
Second run was using the spray, 92 Octane fuel, N2O Tank pressure 840 psi, 55hp Wet Shot, nitrous activated at 4000 rpm.
Not trying to make excuses but there is a significant difference in performance when the tank pressure is 950psi.

Sorry I don't have a scanner available to me at my hotel, so I took a pic with my camera. (both pics are the same dyno sheet, just trying for a better pic)






Tell me do you see flames at the end of the vid?

Ray is going to kill me for saying this,
Ray's car was the last one on the dyno (after mine). ..... .... enuf said

 

Anyone who was at the dyno day and would like to join EVOLV-Chicago to be updated on upcoming meets/events, please send me a PM and I'll get you all signed up.

Nice to have met all the new people!

 

What other mods do you have done to your car... performance wise?

 

This makes me sad. If I had it all over to do again, I would have done none of them and went straight to a N2O/TC/SC setup. With the exceptions of the Cobb AP, RP Supercat and the BHR Radiator which have obvious reasons why you would want them for a FI setup.

- SR UDP
- RB Flywheel
- RB Revi Intake
- RM Ram air intake
- Zex nitrous wet kit
- BHR Radiator
- RP Supercat
- ACT Clutch
- MSD 9.5 mm plug wires
- Redline MT 90 Trans
- RP Max Gear Diff
- Progress Sways
- Cobb AP (Tune by MM)
- TB coolant bypass mod
- Crankcase vent mod

 

It was really nice to see and meet everyone last weekend. Always nice to put the faces with the handles. Also had fun on the cruise...it was nice to meet you guys. Had some good times on the cruise back to the burbs...I don't think theres a spot of carbon left in my engine. ;-)~
