Dyno Day at Rotary Reliability in Santa Ana

Hey guys!

Rotary Reliability and Racing just got their Dynojet installed! They are going to be doing dyno pulls on the last week of November or the First week of December. Pricing will vary based upon participation. I am thinking it will be around $40. When we get a firm date set, I will update this message.

Also, anyone with an emanage that wants some assistance tuning, I will be onhand during the dyno day to help tune those little bastages out.

I am trying to talk them into doing something crazy cheap for the dyno day, but don't know if that will happen, as they just ate some huge costs to get the dyno in. You guys might want to give them a call to get them excited and drop the price.

Here is their info:

Rotary Reliability and Racing
2608 South Harbor Blvd.
Santa Ana, CA 92708
714-839-8018

Might not be a bad place to get some service done on your rotary either. I have been going there for awhile, and the owner Nick Van Nugteren, has been racing rotaries for quite some time. They even hold a Bonneville record (I should say held it was broken by Racing Beat).

So it looks like the last week in November or First week in december.

That's my mechanic and they've always taken care of me. I'll call Nick and Lou to get the scoop on the dyno. About time we have another one in OC.

FYI... Rotary Reliability and Racing/Fast Freddys on Harbor/Warner in Santa Ana is not affiliated with RRR in Upland, CA. There's been mix-ups in the past.

Hey.. now we have two threads about a dyno but no date as of yet... We should all get together for this and have a huge dyno day... We might be able to talk down the price too....

Here is the other thread.

Nick and the crew said the hoist they ordered keeps getting delayed. I spoke with them about a week and a half ago, and they said they are looking towards early december.

I'm looking to buy RP hi-flow cat and RB exhaust.

Are they able to install them on mine? Are they reputable?

I live near Santa Ana and I'm just curious.

Thanks.

I've had work done by RRR on my 3rd gen rx-7. They're reputable and Nick/Luis know RX-7s and rotary engines. Very reasonable prices too.
$30 a run is a steal!

Yeah.. I got into an accident and didnt have my car for about 5 1/2 weeks.. Thats way too long to fix it! All they had to do was replace suspension components and some body work panels.. Oh well.. I am going to Ca. Speedway that same day so I am trying to figure out if I can go.. I want to work something out. What time are you going?

Tomorrow boys and girls....

There is one maybe two slots open for drive-ups... the catch is that you might have to be there the whole day to slot in.

We have a nice varied group ready to go tomorrow... see you all out at RR&R.

Rotary Reliability & Racing
2608 S. Harbor Blvd.
Santa Ana, Ca. 92704

Cross Streets: Harbor Blvd. and Warner; 100 yards South of the South West Corner.

The store front says Mazda & Fast Freddy's. They are next door to a resturant called Cowgirls Cafe, and a Beemer / Benz shop.


Cheers,

-Bern
