EXCELLENT!
Excuse my ignorance--whas is wideban?

Having the May monthly at Owens would be way cool! Especially since we had been recently talking about having a dyno day. Double check with Owen and see if May 20th would be a good day for "Thirdgen Dyno Day". Of course it does not need to be restricted to thirdgens. Is he going to have a "Dyno Day" for everybody.

We could easily make the "monthly" start at Noon or whatever go all afternoon, crank up the BBQ, or not--if we don't BBQ we could all go cruise to eats around nomal time of 5:30/6 pm, and maybe cruise to Sam's Club Sat night show right down the street.

This would also be a good day to line up Mike (1bad91Z) for any of U guys with TPI's that have been wanting to get some chip work done.

Talk to Owen and see if U can work out the details, and what he wants to do.

 

Wideband O2 sensor. Allows you to read the Air/Fuel ratio on the dyno for tuning purposes.

 

Cool--Thanks

 

You guys are having so much fun and I cannot partake. Well hopefully we a nice rotation and everything iwill repeat itself when I get back from Korea. See Ya'll March 2007

 

Refresh my memory--U in the service? When are U leaving and coming back --back in march 2007?

There is a monthly meet today--make it if U can! (see appropiate thread for more info.

 

AS soon as we firm up a date and Owen figures out a price, we need to do a list of who would be interested in getting your car dynoed so Owen will know what's going on, and what time we will need to get started to accomidate everybody.

Right now we are thinking about doing it on a Sunday May 20th and making it the official May monthly meet. Owen wants to do it on a Sunday, so it will not disrupt his normal Sat business. We will probably fire up the BBQ grill--pot luck BBQ (everybody brings some eats--IE: burn some more dogs or burgers or whatever) Just make an all day affair out of it like we did with the modding party there some time back.

 

Sunday would be on the 21st or the 28th, my car might be getting painted during that time but i definitely want to go, would the 28th be better since its memorial day weekend more people would be off from work?
what do yall think, i definitely want to go and ill have the car back by the 28th
???

 

I'm interested, but Memorial Day Weekend is not good for me.

 

I am in the Army station in South Korea with a return date of Mar 10, 2007. I left Houston Mar 12 and wanted to make the Feburary meeting but that nasty weather kept me inside. I was also looking forward to seeing feloow 3rd Gen at the Christians High School car show, but that was also postpone. Everything I tried to do before I left something beyond my control change the plans. I will be looking forward to next year and would like to get my car on the dyno since I will be sitting for a year.

 

Right now we are thinking about trying to set it up on Sunday May 21 and making it the official May monthly meet.

Owen wants to do it on a Sunday, so it will not disrupt his normal Sat business, so a lot of the decision is up to Owen.

We will probably fire up the BBQ grill--pot luck BBQ (everybody brings some eats--IE: burn some more dogs or burgers or whatever) Just make an all day affair out of it like we did with the modding party there some time back.

 

stayed up last night helping get the last few things put together on the dyno. I think the sunday will work great , it would be very relaxed and easy for people to be able to come without most of us having work and so forth

 

Wow, cool!! Ive never dynod my car or any car really. Id love to participate in a dyno day.

 

Sounds cool!

Confirm with Owen that Sunday May 21 is a definate date and we will start getting it all set up and do a new thread for "Dyno Day".

Jay, Did U get a price yet?

I guess we need to get an idea of who/ how many will be doing it, to figure out what time we need to get started to accomidate everybody???

If U want to Dyno your car--Please post here in this thread

 

Count me in!

 

IN!

 

YES!!!

 

we were talking about 40 for 3 pulls.
----------
may 21st would be perfect

 

Is that WITH the wideband O2? If so then it is a REALLY good price and I am VERY interested.

 

the wideban will be xtra , but the charge wont be bad. the 3 pulls is mainly for if you want to tune a little bit on your timing and fuel pressure and maybe spray it if gas in on whoevers car choses so

 

Maybe you can ask how much. My car feels like it is missing a lot of power on top but it is hard to figure out what is going on while I am driving it. So a wideband pull might give me some clues as to what is going on.

 

damn thats cheap! Oh hell yes I'm in

 

Sign me up.I may be able to make it.

 

I guess since my car is there i will go

 

wow, good deal! Refresh my memory, where is your shop at?
And as for wideband, how much extra? I need to tune at two boost levels adn dial in my timing. Plus I'd like to see how much power it makes on a Dynojet (240whp on Mustang dyno...but someone told me they read low or weren't accurate?). If you guys can stand the sound of a 2.4L at WOT through an open downpipe...I wanna join in

 

DUH!!!

Hey Fbod--to bring U up to speed--Owen is the guy that owns ARD--that just got the dyno. Jay/xtremeirocz is a very good friend of his and he isbasically acting as a liasion in this deal getting it all set up with the thirdgenners.

From I-10 and highway 6, go north past keith harrow till you reach addicks satsuma. take a right turn and go about 1/2 mile down and you will see the sign and it is located on the left in a business park.

I posted Owen's addy in the "private installer's index" thread stickied at the top of the page if U ever need to refer to it again.

 

I would like to test a few things on my car, i'm pretty sure that i can make it - but i'll know more definately as it gets closer

James

 

TTT

 

What would he charge for dyno runs normally? I'd like to stop by this sat and dyno on my way to the spring fling if possible.

Thanks,
James

 

Not sure--call him and let us know too!

 

I'll be in town for this, so sign me up.

Now that I have Mike's (1Bad91Z) tune in the car with stock base timing and fuel pressure, i want a comparison check against the "3rd gen wisdom" of boosting them both up a bit.

TTT!

 

Count me in!

Seriously considering re-dialing the cam to find out where my power loss is going, I may do it before the dyno day... depending on how lazy I am.

 

what the hell i'm in

 

Maybe between all the minds that will be there we can get yours tuned a little better and cut down that ET at the track???

 

thats what i'm counting on, and i'll see if I can get the tuning kit that one the guys was talking about, with metering rods, and stuff

 

Hey Guy's,

A friend at work has a late model Transam, would he be allowed to come along and Dyno on the Sunday? He does run it at HMP.

Alex

 

I don't know--OK with me--personally, I don't care.

I'll let Jay or Owen answer that one!

PAGING XTREMEIROC-- PAGING XTREMEIROC--U have a call holding on line 2!

 

thats fine, we will probably setup a sighup list for everyone once they get there to get the order down. but everyone is invited even if it isnt a thirdgen

 

were is dyno day being held???? i think the 21 st is the best day my opinion

it is gonna be on the 21st

 

around what time?

 

I don't think ew have deceided a time yet. I'll let Jay and Owen figure that one out

JAY???

I don't know how long it takes to hook up a car--run it and unhook, but I know there's a dozen cars so far and probably be a few more, so..........

 

In a PM from Owen:



Start at 10am till we get done. That way we can cook BBQ at lunch time etc.

The wide band is $15.00 extra that includes us welding in an exhaust bung in place with ss plug.

Thanks,

Owen

 

Count me in.

 

Name added to the list!

 

OK, I'm up for that...but I won't need the exhaust bung. I already have 4 too choose from, just pull one of the existing O2's since I'll be running open loop anyway.

I also want to run with and without my y-pipe. It's a 2 minute job to drop it...even if putting it on again does take a little longer. I have long suspected that my exhaust is holding me back...now maybe I'll find out for sure.

 

I am going to run with and without my cutout open to find out the same thing.

 

Ok, I wanna run with wideband, but my setup wouldn't allow for an o2 bung to be welded in. Do you guys have a probe the way most dynos do (the magic wand thingy)? I also need to know if you fellas have the boost monitoring option as well. My new setup will be in by then, and I'lll have to play with the engine load and boost timing retard a bit.

 

Yeah, I want the wide-band option, with the bung-hole welded in. I've not dyno'd before, so somebody clue me in here. The typical dyno sheets I've seen show HP and Torque graphed out against RPM. The wide-band measures Air/Fuel ratio ( or residual O2?) , and this would be a third plot across RPM?
