any chance of having Rodger video/broadcaste the day...do you think there would be any interest?

I would believe that maybe having a pre-dyno interview with each driver would be fun...to see what they have done to the car and so on...maybe a driver prediction of results.

Also, been noticing that guys on this thread are making different preparations to their car before the actual day. I would assume there is some manner of peer pressure here, cause no one wants to have the lowest numbers due to some equipment malfunction.

What are some things that should be done prior to the dyno day. I have compiled a short list based on what I have been reading this week:

1) Clean air filter
2) Clean MAF
3) Oil change (this also works in Gran Tourismo)
4) consistent tire pressure


what else should we add to this list?

 

i have a couple tricks up my sleeve but thats on the hush hush.. We will be scanning the dyno sheets so if someone has access to a good scanner they can do that for us...maybe we call can go to rodgers house after to get it scaned! hahaha

 

Keith:
I'll be starting the new thread the day of the dyno. I'll have excel spreadsheets showing hp / torque figures and even graphs if you're nice.

broadcasting woudl be great but as we learned from SS9, it can be tough to get a decent internet connection.

 

Ya'll know who's taking pictures ^.^

 

Jedi
Are you taking your lap top to Dyo day?
I can always take mine...got wireless internet if that helps.
let me know.

 

I'll have mine with me. you have a wireless broadband card?

 

sure do!
but not sure if it will work on your the card is much thinner than normal.

 

Amsoil....you'll get more HP!

 

peace out jedi, OCHO is about to take his grub on!

 

get the turbo xs exhaust, you will get an instant 25whp..hahaha

 

 

so does anyone care to explain how to do the ignition coils?? it seems like they have just arrived at my house this afternoon. i want to install them.

 

Page 13 XDEEDUBBX gave a bried summary. If I install the coils this weekend I'll try to get pics and form a DIY.

 

hahha thnkas

 

they are directly under the intake pipe. The coils themself are being held on my a 13 or 14 mm nut..I forget..haha on the other end they are attached by an electrical sensor of some sort. That was the hard part, removing that. I would reccomend removing the air box. That will make things much easier.

 

hahah thanks bryan i am gonna do them pretty soon

 

haha

 

so i wonder who is gonna flake...i'll be surprised if everyone on the list shows up..hahha

on another note, finally got to drive my car after coil installation. It deifnetly backfires less now, but when it does it backfires louder. =) Idle is much smoother and rev's up a lot smoother as well.

 

bryan, if you still have one of your damaged coils....would you mind taking a picture of it, or just bringing it for inspection to the dyno day. I won't get around to changing mine prior to the actual event, but am worried about low hp numbers do to bad coils....I guess if my 8 is well of the pace of others that day, I'll know the coils are bad...

 

i'll take a picture of it tonight. I've been meaning to but forgot.

 

i am not going to dyno, car is going to be in the bodyshop

 

Didn't I call it?? hahaha

 

meh i ran over a possom

 

fix your car after the dyno....how many chances you gonna have to dyno your car with a bunch of other 8's...plus, we need an AT for a baseline.

 

ill see what i can do, i already made an appointment with the bodyshop to drop my car off this saturday. so if it comes out before the 31st i will still go.
