Tauranga Dyno day... gauging interest.

[YeMs]

hey peoples just gauging interest as to how many people would be interested in attending a dyno day in tauranga at dynopower in the near future. thinking of setting 1 up and just wanna get a feel for any interest at all.

would run it as a pre-booked event at $50 for 2wd run and $60 for 4wd run, then any 1 who shows up on the day and wants a run will pay $60 for 2wd and $70 for 4wd.

much easier to have it pre-booked so i know im actually gunna get sum people showing up. have had heaps of interest just by word of mouth but thought id have a look see on here too.

may even have a 'king of kilowatt' prize if there is enough interest.

let me know by replying here cheers Jens.

when do you plan on having it. if my motor is in and tuned by then ill come

[samlloyd]

I would have been keen but mines all been done in rotorua. Bit of a bugger though i stood on the dyno printout with a wet shoe

[Emperor]

If its a weekend i'll come

[IKE86]

depending if its on a weekend and if my cars going il be in. wana know what my cars doing before any mods

[strx7]

i'd be keen, i'd have at least 1 2wd and 1 4wd i'd like to put over it.
what size tyres can the dyno handle? 31 x 10.5 ???

[YeMs]

yeh it would be a saturday event for sure. would be from 9am - 6/7ish pm

probly talking say, a month from now just so i can get fliers an stuff made up to advertise.

strx7, ill check but im pretty sure it can handle big tyres. has wide rollers, and i know they run off-roaders down there.

[Psycho_Dad]

i know this is a tad late but id be keen, infact ill be chucking mine on the dyno some time this month if you guys dont get organised lol

based on k/w per cc rating?

nah probly just a max kw prize. if we did a k/w per cc rating all the nissan boys would start crying =)

but yeh, still doin the paper work to make sure its affordable.

You sure? 213kw 4age, a 266kw SR20, or a 346kw RB26 to tie with a 400kw 2JZ. None of those are that hard to find.... to win a dyno day with a 3litre you need HUGE power.

[Snoozin]

kw/cc is no good, otherwise you run the risk of having turbo Honda's and 4AGTE powered machines rolling up and ruining the fun

[narlystarly]

Yems just wants to win something

[sik_gt_starly]

im keen as if its a weekend. be interesting to see what my new setup does.

Ive never seen a dyno before, what readouts does it give? just a graph showing revs/power or does it give data on fuelling, timing etc

[strx7]

base it on cubic capacity under motorsport rules, forced induction = capiacty x 1.7

therefore a 4AGTE = 2.7 litre
2JZGTE = 5.1L
3SGTE = 3.4L

Thats the best way to do it.

Thats why i asked, im hoping to make 240kw with my new setup.

[YeMs]

thats fair enough. for us thats easy to under stand. u try explain all that info to your average boy racer haha we will have a riot on our hands wen a vtec turbo wins the king of kilowatt. i think we will just stick to a day of dyno readouts rather than making a competition out of it.

Good call mate we did that, we had a dude turn up in a ford FPV on race gas which would have ruiend it for everyone but lucky we just had a dyno day no rece as such

[Lith]

Yeah I've never bothered adding a competitive twist when I have organised this kind of day. You might get some friendly rivalry amongst people with comparable cars but thats about it, its plenty of fun checking out all the different things and how they go about their business. No one complains about seeing something make >400kw @ wheels, and most are amused by seeing something random show up.
