Motors Meet - Dyno Runs

Gary ITR

Ok we'll following on from here there will be a Dyno day in our place on Saturday October 29th - 11am start and we finish when we finish . All welcome, doesn't matter what you're driving and you don't even have to get the car dyno'd. These days are always great craic (this is the 4th boards.ie Dyno Day) and lead to a lot of slagging banter.

If you want to Dyno the car it will cost €40, this gives the power oputput of the car but it will also tell us how healthy or unhealthy the car is and will come with sound advice from the operator. We will also have our Irish Touring Car on display and my oen build has started and is also there for anybody that wants a nosey. I'll stick on some snacks too.

The Location is in the Malahide Road Industrial Park, Dublin 17. 10 minutes from the Airport

Some pics from previous days

Gary ITR

If we could keep an organised list it'd be great

So if it can be done like this. I'm assuming you don't want to run the S2000 again Jimmy?

Well for some!

Was there an issue previously with a Beemer going into limp mode or something while being dyno'd? Do the newer Beemers dyno okay?

on E39/E46 you need to pull the right fuses to turn TC/DSC fully off. We tried to dyno an E92 335i last time and failed. Dunno with the E60/E61. Best to research dyno prep first.

Our resident german car tuner wasn't there that day. I'll make sure he's there this time. Your car will be fine anyway baz

Would the traction control /DSC button not have worked? :P

Or does "off" not actually equate to off?

DSC Off turns DSC off, but not traction control. With the E39 M5's, the ECU then gets confused, when the front wheels don't turn, but the rear wheels do and re-activates everything.

In theory, holding DSC in, while turning ignition on and starting the engine should switch it off, but depending on model year, it might not work.

Disconnecting the ABS plug or pulling the correct fuses (in my E39 M5 there's 2 of'em) guarantees a problem free dyno run.

With the E92 335i we had followed the procedure outlined for dyno runs and the result was, that it refused and went into limp mode. Took a few miles driving, as far as I know, before it became healthy again.

I don't think I could live with the pain of knowing that my 231 bhp only has 230 I might go say hello though!

robbie_998

Last time I had the M5 on the dyno, it only put out 366 bhp. Stupid 95 Octane !!

Nah, honestly, it's for the craig and it'll tell you how healthy your motor is.

As another example, my Caravelle put out 100.9 bhp of it's original factory 102 bhp. That's considered pretty darn good, when you know, it had over 365000 km on the clock at the time of the dyno and a service overdue.

I'll try too bring my Burg along, be interesting to see how close too the 240hp it get's.

Tis in the video, bout 184bhp I think, factory 193.

_Kaiser_

Only realised (when I saw the pics in the OP) that I know these guys! Had my Passat remapped with em earlier in the year and it's been brilliant ever since - very nice guys and I'd recommend em.

(Don't suppose you want to do a 1999 1.9 TDI (115 - I think) Passat as well for me? )

The 7 is a beautiful car but if I'm honest, I would have expected it to have a lot more BHP from the factory.

Voodoomelon

Yup, its the same 2.8l M52 from the 328i and 528i. Runs out of puff when fully loaded with 5 lads but a hair under 8 seconds to 60 is still plenty quick (timed it recently).

I just can't bring a Corsa B to a dyno session, I'd be crucified. So I'll content myself with watching. Willing to contribute to food and drink of course.

I'll go home for that! There used to be a black and gold TA in a place I used to work and the sound of it parking up even is better than a coffee in the morning:)

You might enjoy this vid, mine is the T/A doing the first burnout:

Sorry for meandering off topic lads, but it's all car stuff anyhow!

It's a real let down alright.

My Mazda put out 229bhp, it's suppose to be 260bhp

After remap it barely went over supposedly stock figures with 270bhp.

Saying that my old diesel Fabia made 137bhp, its 130bhp stock:D
