If any of the participants want their dyno files, shoot me a PM with your email address and I can send them to you. You'll need to download the dynojet software but it's pretty self explanitory.

 

congrats on the nice dyno jedi!

 

hmm I'm pretty sure my readout says 183.96.... and my torque numbers couldn't be read. Maybe you have the wrong file for me?

 

Jedi: didn't apocolypse run higher numbers than konig??

 

some of the #'s were showing up on Saturday as "uncorrected". I ran them all through STD corrections and that's what came out.
Geez, rough freaking crowd in here... first 2 posts and they're both questioning me.

 

forget bout it jedi everybody knows this forum wouldnt be the same without you hahaa

wish i coulda been there but work pays da bills

 

hahaha its all good Ill put up a scanned copy of my ish.. Thanks for getting these up Jedi good ****!!!!!

you gonna come out to BJs this weekend?

 

lol - wasn't sweatin' you bro! lol

btw, how do you guys like my new avatar??

 

Very interesting results... I'm curious why are the nitrous shots producing such a small boost in peak horsepower? +20whp on Ray's run seems pretty weak. Granted Ray's porting and other mods definitely seemed to make a big difference in his NA power. 212 whp sheesh!

A real shame nobody did a run with the 3071R, it would have been nice to see some dyno charts with the larger turbo. Either way, thanks for posting... wish I had been there.

 

hmm.. those nitrous numbers are a bit weird?

charles is doing 211 na but didn't even gain 20hp at peak on a 55 shot of nitrous?

 

Ray had problems with fuel delivery on his N20...

 

Some of those graphs are a bit screwy because the dyno couldn't pull a tach signal cleanly on some of the cars. (I hate DynoJets.)
Probably gonna have to revert to a speed-based plot for those cars.

Also, it would be nice if the improvements were more visible, rather than just the pure outputs, which are somewhat meaningless because of the condition of the different motors.
Some of these cars picked up only 2 or 3 HP. Others made 20 more.

 

damn you mm.

i just sent you a important message that has nothing to do with work or the rx8..

and you box is full!

clean that box!

beers

 

lookin good! You guys dynoed a **** ton of cars lol...

 

Mid pack with a cat and stock coils.... BHR coils coming soon and BHR midpipe whenever they start selling them. I'm thinking the SoCal Dyno day with MM and the BHR crew might have to be a yearly event.

 

damn you mm.

i just sent you a important message that has nothing to do with work or the rx8..

Some nice runs!!

Who had the biggest gain due to tuning

 

nice results guys.

wow, how'd u get your car stats so high jorge? must be the mods...

 

his RP supercat.. stock cat = death on dyno's

 

i c... well, at least it wasn't the force...

 

Some strange numbers compared to what I saw.
But hey,,,, Thanks Yedi54 for putting these up.

 

hmm well the graph i got was the 255whp one, but i did six runs so that was probably the highest number out of all the runs.
