Dyno Day

5500

How does everyone feel about a dyno day on a saturday in the new year?I've been hearing goodstuff lately about urban performance's dyno in Tallaght so what about giving them a try?

I can give them a shout and see what price's they do for a say a group of 10/15 cars if there's any intrest in it?

Midnight_EG

I've only a stock 1.3, but I wouldnt mind coming along, could be a bit of fun

Sorry, to join in the banter, not dyno a civic :P

5500

Sure if its working out at a good price stick it on for the craic!

Midnight_EG

Aheh, we'll see, I'll definetly have heart and balls :P

Atomic Pineapple

we only had a boards one there last november 14th

Didn't get much interest from the masses, mit was in belfast though, one in tallaght might tempt more people

Graham_B18C

I was at the one in Belfast and I put a thread up last week about Urban, was on their Dyno last Saturday. It reads lower than AI so you cant really get hung up on the figures.

When a date has been decided I might head along, get my decat and a few other bits done and see if there's any gains.

OP, what car are you bringing?

Maybe edit the Thread Title so Dublin is in it and it might drag in a few more

5500

Yeah strangly enough for the amount of members in the motors section there doesnt seem to be huge intrest, sure we'll look towards the end of january or so and see if there's any pep up in interest then, Im bringing an s2000

metzengerstein

id be up for this too ,

any car welcome? if it happens

Graham_B18C

It'll have to be a FWD or RWD only gig though, he only has a 2 wheel dyno. If there's lots of interest from 4WD drivers then maybe it could be held in a place in Dunboyne, can't remember the name

5500

Sure any car is welcome,doesnt even specifically have to be modified (id love to see a lada riva on rollers!) Cda is in dunboyne and theres also westwood in enfield that can do 4wd

Pdfile

ill see if i can get odd's off my mates and we get the costs of doin it covered then ill be along...


testament to honda's engineering or total fail.... only one way to find out !

metzengerstein

cool,well its fwd,has some mods done too it ,but i dont know how much it has changed since they where done so would be nice too find out ,probably not by much id say feels it though

mik_da_man

Id be up for this too.
Car is due a service now should be running well in Jan.
Hopefully I might get a bit better run than the last time, I was expecting a bit more...

Pdfile

get a list of cars anyways to gather inerest as cars you like, close competition to yours etc might be their etc.


also im sure if you ask the lads nicely they might put a Real machine on the road and show us how its done.

PDfile,

Please stop dragging numerous threads off topic with your infactuation with "real cars/machines" next time it will be an infraction and continuation of it then will result in a ban.

Everyone else,

Please keep the thread on the topic of the Dyno day

SV

I'd be interested in going along to one that's a bit more local like this anyway..
I'm hoping around the 190 mark with what'll be done soon enough..

If its in Urban then don't be too optimistic. He even told me and Onkle that his reads a bit lower than other people's dyno.

Looking forward to you taking me out it the Clio at last though!!

Maybe so..we'll see!
Ah yeah, will be about time

Gary ITR

Urban told us that he expects his to become the industry standard (he would say that though) . It's known as the 'ballbuster' apparently

SV

Maybe I'll settle for 180 so..

Gary ITR

I forget what Graham got there bit it was less than what he got in A1, but his car was definitely putting more power out

I can attest to some amount of power :P

I dont know if there was a power increase but the car was revving so much free-er, so there would of been a power increase through out the rev range. Top end power though, maybe a slight increase. I got 176 in AI and 170 in Urban. I reckon it'd put down 180 if I went to AI again

Graham_B18C

Eireal, you gonna set a date for this?

Will give me a restriction on when to have my car serviced by! Been putting it off for too long

SV

My car is in for a full service, timing belt and aux belt replacement... eugh

but then again there's full Bilstein suspension and a full exhaust system to go in when that's done..

Atomic Pineapple

New timing belt kit going into my Teg this month so I'll be up for heading with the Teg to it as well for the craic

Yep, first night out in the city centre (well in years - I was in bad bobs once) on the 15th of Jan so dont have the dyno day on the day after

mik_da_man

Yeah any idea of a date for this yet?
The car is in for a full service on monday and I prob will have a new exhaust fitted in the next 2/3 weeks

mik_da_man

Any more word on this??...

Graham_B18C

Well Eireal hasn't posted on this in quite a while and since making the thread his car popped up for sale so I assume he aint fully up for it anymore.

I'm not going to bother with putting it on the rollers, but i'll head along and i'll buy my Honda badges off him while im there.

So will we set an oul date for it???

mik_da_man

Yeah I was thinking of some Sat in the coming weeks.
I'm gonna ask over on the Focus ST owners site, I know some were looking for a RR day.

5500

I was sitting tight on it incase my car sold,that and the fact i ordered a decat so im holding off at the minute

Voodoomelon

I'd be up for this, my mate is on about going to Dunboyne but would rather head with a Boards crowd if there was one going. What was the name of the place by Belfast that everyone went to last time?

Ai Autosport

Graham_B18C

Tis a good spin from Dublin though! Urban only has a 2 wheel drive dyno

Atomic Pineapple

Yeh I agree, once is enough to tip up to Belfast

Also about the place in Dunboyne, I think he has a 4wd dyno, his reads a lot higher than Urban's, A friend of mine had a Levin, read 130 in Urban and over 160 in the other place.

160 seems very hair for a levin alright if it was standard?

Voodoomelon

Thanks for the info. So is another boards dyno day off the cards for the time being?

I dunno, theres one or two people interested it seems. I'll go along for the banter but there's no need to get it dyno'd again

paddy147

10)

Graham_B18C

I'd back urban but I won't be getting the car done. I'll head along for the banter when it happens though

5500

Urban it is so, I'd say if we could get 10 together we might get a discount on the price, i'll drop Mick a line and see if he can work something out

Voodoomelon

What kinds of price is it if no discount?

It's normally €60 for a fwd/rwd vehicle, I think its €80 for 4wd

Graham_B18C

Urban only do 2wd, I got mine done for 50 after askin nicely
