Working out interest for a dyno meet in May/June

Supergurrier

How many people would provisionally be interested in this if it was to go ahead.

Most places charge 50e for 2wd dyno runs and 80 for 4wd.

Obviously I have a place in mind but maybe people have their own suggestions for a decent dyno operator that's fairly central and gives a good printed readout for the glovebox

Anyway vote away.

Supergurrier

So not much then lol

toastedpickles

Bippidy boppidy bump!

I'd be up for it provided its after the 19th of may

davycc

yea id be up for it too-dont mind what month or venue whatever suits the masses;)

Ive used Martin Treacy in enfield m4 before a few times and he knows his stuff a;though im hearing CDA in dunboyne mentioned a lot too positvely but never used them personally:)

Count me in

maceocc2

Me too.

I'm curious to what my DIY remapping has done, I'm in

rovoagho

Need a baseline reading, so yes please.

Supergurrier

Cool is a place dtdirl used recently that looks good will enquire on price for a group in late may early June and report back.

Main concerns is the quality of fan/airflow they have and how comprehensive the data on the printout is so we can see an actual bhp/torque curve swell as Max bhp figures etc.

What type of Leon did you go for in the end ? Would be interesting to see output on such a new car versus claimed figures

Ardennes1944

He has a 2.0 cdti 165bhp Astra J Gtc not a Leon....edit:or maybe not:D

Spike Witwicky

€50? I might be up for this.

CDA were the best around, with the best mapper too.
Unfortunately their dyno was sold over 6 months ago and is now owned by the mapper down in Galway, Aonghus is his name and he's really good, got 430 lb torque from my Evo in the blistering hot summer.
Next mapping I get, I'll be going to Galway.

Supergurrier

Do you know who now operates that dyno in galway ?

Yes, I know him well.
Aonghus is his name, best mapper I have ever seen TBH.

Do you have a business name or mobile number for him ?

Want to do a couple runs with different states of tune/fuel types

I'll have to ask him if it's ok first, he doesn't like blind referrals TBH mate as I'm sure you can understand in this game, high performance vehicles etc.

I'll pm you his number but please don't throw it around randomly.;)

dar83

So he has a Dyno for I'm guessing business reasons but he doesn't want new business?!?

Sounds odd...

Nothing odd, I'm not aware of his business down in Galway is all.
I have had work done by him many times in Dublin in CDA who have been going a very long time., that's what I mean when I say I know him well.
Anyone else that has dealt with or had done work by him will say the same, guaranteed.
It's not my place to throw his mobile number around is all I meant.

Check here for reinforcement of my opinion

AP-Performance is the company AFAIK

dar83

I'm not doubting his work, just found it odd to make somewhat a big deal of giving someone his number to enquire. I appreciate the logic in not posting it publicly though.

Supergurrier

Not after a remap anyway just a 2 dyno runs a couple weeks apart for a baseline and progression readout.

I will ring him and see what's the situation anyway.

I wasn't making an advertisement is what I'm getting at, just making people aware that CDA dyno is now operated down there, and the guy is a genius.
I'm sure the OP will post the same after his experience.:)

CianRyan

Holiday payed off, just to go to the dentist now and then I can insure my car. If I have it running by then I'll definitely want to see what it's putting out... 24 years later!

Edit: The redneck expressed interest, he didn't say in what though.

Supergurrier

Carina E or go home !

CianRyan

It would choke us worse than the 406.
Everything else is auto though.

Feck that I will be outside chain smoking when that's on the rollers.

Less cancerigens

CianRyan

I'll have my Chemo on standby anyway.
Looks like I'll have a tow to the dyno even if it's not insured, so providing I've the rocker gasket done I should be good!

YbFocus

To hell with it I've been humming and hawing about this and I'll stick the 530 up for this. See what's she's lost

Smartass Also have something interesting in the pipeline that will run alongside the 30d.
It's petrol too, got to quell the tensions on fuel around here

Would be more interesting for this than the 530 actually.

Who says I'll be in the 406....?





































Actually, I will be in it, I'm really interested to know what it puts out this time and I doubt I'll have it's replacement ready/can't be arsed paying for 2 runs!

ARISE THREAD!!

I'm guessing this has died a death, but does or is anyone still going for this??

Westward engineering do dynos for 60 a piece and I'm sure a generous discount is in order for the few that show up

Foxhole Norman

I'm going to wait until I have a car with an engine before going to one of these meets :pac:

Will see what the craic is once driveshafts are replaced.

Atm all i would be doing is something like this

Depends on where and when!

Spike Witwicky

I'd like to get a readout on my C180k but i've heared of issues with autos on dynos. Car has ESP but have the ability to switch car into dyno mode which disables the ESP and ABS but i think the auto will cause improper readings

Supergurrier

If this is going ahead in June i should have something new to bring to it with moar cylinder

What gearbox is in the Mercedes ?As long as you have a 1:1 ratio between the engine and transmission the reading will be accurate.

Not sure tbh. Only got the car two months ago so still not 100% on all its systems n stuff. ESP told me to cop on trying to power out of a roundabout though :pac:

Any idea on how i can check what box is in it?

EDIT: think its this one - 5G-TRONIC (722.6)?
its a 5 speed

here are the ratios according to Wikipedia

Mercedes-Benz Transmissions
Gear 1 2 3 4 5 R1 R2
5G-TRONIC (W5A330/Small NAG)[2] 3.932 2.408 1.486 1.00 0.83 -3.10 -1.90
5G-TRONIC (W5A580/Large NAG)[3] 3.59 2.19 1.41 1.00 0.83 -3.16 -1.93
