Hot on the heels of today's dyno (which I couldn't make due to work), there's going to be another dyno day but this time in San Bernardino coming up on Saturday, May 9th at ST Motorsports. They're located a few miles north of the 10 & 215 junction near Chaparral. If you're looking to compare your car to others in the area or across the country, they use an inertia-style Dynojet which is probably the most accurate for comparisons when using SAE correction.

The price is going to be $45 for three pulls with A/F and I believe they will be providing lunch as usual to those who dyno. The owner Adam specializes in Mustangs, SRT-4, and a lot of other Ford and GM products. He does primarily Diablo tuning among others and works pretty close with a few aftermarket companies. For example at this dyno day I believe he's going to be dynoing the first Chrysler 300C SRT-8 with a twin-screw Kenne Bell blower kit that he's been working with them on development.


The facility has a very large enclosed parking lot behind the building and it's usually a good time for all. For the price it's also hard to beat. I've known them for years and their dyno has always been very consistent. He's going to be hosting dyno days more often so if you want a baseline and then come back later to the same facility later on you shouldn't have a problem. They also rent by the hour or all day for anyone interested.

Date: Saturday, May 9th
Time: 9am until everyone is done (probably late afternoon/early evening)
Location: ST Motorsports
Address: 380 S. I ST., San Bernardino, CA 92410
Cost: $45 for 3 pulls w/ A/F



Right now a few of the Neon and Caliber SRT-4 guys are going to attend and I'm also going to post on one of the Focus forums since I might be bringing my SVT. It's pretty much open to anyone but keep in mind it's only a 2WD dyno.

interested....click

 

stevo aint goin 2 be there to make changes =(

 

**** yea...im in this time..thx Blackbird...whats your name?

dam man..you really want those real numbers huh lmao...you know your close to 400 wheel man

lets start a list

1. Hungryhip-ccp (interested)
2. Marquedo7babybalt- Marques - cobalt ss/sc

 

<-- checks sig... still there, but in case you missed it, that would be Eric.


If you guys start a running list also post up your first name and car you plan to bring. Should be a healthy mix of cars.

 

I'm down! That's the day after my birthday!

 

maybe justin - supra

 

Sign me up!

 

i sitll dont know what im putting down....so since its a dynojet...i think ill be going

 

damn.

next time there's a dyno day, it'll be to tune my TVS. Maybe Andrew's.

 

Maybe I'll show up and dyno the sienna Last time I dyno'd something it blew up on me.
ls1fbody - dyno-ing the TVS was exciting....I can't wait til you have a built motor and you dyno your's. BUT...Don't think you can post you results on here...everyone will doubt it...even if CNN was there, they'll still pick your results apart.

There's nothing wrong with some of the other types of dynamometers out there. If the operator is qualified and knows what they're doing, I'd rather tune my car on an eddy current/loading type of dyno as it can better replicate the loads a car will see out on the road. You can still tune a car on an interia-style dyno but there will be some differences (for example if it doesn't load the car as much your air/fuel will usually read richer on the dyno than on the street under load).

If all you want is to get an idea and compare your numbers to other cars, an inertia-style Dynojet that's properly set up reading accurate environmental sensor data and applying good SAE correction is probably the best. Just keep in mind that no two dynos will always read perfect the same so take any numbers with a grain of salt. At least the Dynojets are easier to compare and usually pretty close. Add in trap speed from the track and you can get a pretty good picture of your car's performance.


I've actually had my minivan on this particular dyno. Rigged an intercooler into the plumbing in the parking lot and cranked up the boost. Didn't quite have enough fuel to make significantly more power, but it was fun to take to the track.


No problem.

 

sorry i wont be making it

My GF's 21st bday party is that day.

 

the operator at impulse engineering didnt want to floor it...he said he thought it was going to blow up...so i really dont know what its putting down

 

lol.

my numbers arent realy either

my tune push back my rev limiter to 6700 RPMS..

 

ull kill him.lol

i might be there with my new surprise. steve knows wat it is.lol
