SUNSHINE + FAST CARS + GOOD FRIENDS = FUN DYNO DAY!!!

When: Sunday, June 8, 2008

Time: 9:00 a.m. until we're done

What: This is a 2wd chassis dyno (sorry AWD guys, but that doesn't mean you can't come hang out with us) -
ONLY 4 & 5 LUG ADAPTERS

Where: TC's Performance - 5420 Marshall St, Unit F - Arvada - Map: http://www.mapquest.com/mq/6-WKh*

Investment: $25.00 per person - CASH ONLY (please bring exact change)

Runs: Each car will get 1 run each plus a dyno sheet printout

Parking: It's VERY IMPORTANT that you DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF 5280 ARMORY.

Other: If you have a wheel lock....make sure you bring it with you and have it sitting on the front seat when you're ready to dyno.

This is a great way to meet other HAI members, ask questions, see the shop, hang out and compare numbers.

[HONDA GHANDI]

I will be there. But I wish you bastids could dyno my pooride. ;)

[lagunabluek]

The rumor at my work is that we arent gonna be open on sundays after some day is April. If its true, im for sure coming down!

[M@]

Hell freaking yes! I should be 450-500 range by then. Count me in.

[Dillon]

Hmm I think I'll come out to this. It'll be interesting to see how much HP I pick up at altitude from exhaust, plenum spacer and intake. Not expecting much, but I do want to know...

[monicle]

man always on sundays heh. between church and hockey I wouldnt be able to come out until about 6pm heh

[sbiggi]

Shoot, for $25 I'll drop my transfercase and dyno. Count me in.

[MrsGhandi]

man always on sundays heh. between church and hockey I wouldnt be able to come out until about 6pm heh

Because it's so light out in the evening, we may be going for a while past 6:00depending on how many people show up. Should be a pretty fun day if you can make it!

[HONDA GHANDI]

can you just drop the driveshaft?

[justin]

I will try to be there. Car should be built and tooned by then!

Justin

[M@]

can you just drop the driveshaft?

Neg. T-case fluid will spew out of the output shaft, IIRC.

[sbiggi]

can you just drop the driveshaft?

No, like matt said.. fluid everyhwere.

You also have to have a welded center diff or vc eliminator,

I'll remove the driveshaft and transfercase.

[myshtern]

Suhhweet. Can you do a Pontiac G6? :D

[HONDA GHANDI]

No, like matt said.. fluid everyhwere.

You also have to have a welded center diff or vc eliminator,

I'll remove the driveshaft and transfercase.

Ahhh, I remember now.

Suhhweet. Can you do a Pontiac G6? :D

Yes.

[myshtern]

Kew - I'll be there with my G6

[lagunabluek]

[MrsGhandi]

I'm only updating the first post with people who have solidly said "YES, I'll be there".

[dcsportsciv]

Im surprised you didnt just put my name on lol. Ill be there.

[STIBungy]

Put me down. I'll bring something.

[mavvrik]

Sadly, I won't be able to go. I'll be in Europe most of June for graduation. I have a good feeling all my friends will be going though...might have them dyno my car for me ;)

[HONDA GHANDI]

Put me down. I'll bring something.
Bring Conrad's Lotus.

[Kwando]

[chrisbarnett01]

[J.Dub]

[MrsGhandi]

Plus it goes to a good cause! Help feed Tobi's baby!! LOL

Yea, I need more food...I mean she needs more food. ;)

[sbiggi]

Crap ola... scratch me off...
Going to Moab on the 7th.

[MrsGhandi]

BUMP!!

[STIBungy]

Take me off the list too, please. I'll be out of town.

[Brian]

I'll be there unless the car is sold first.

[chris_venturini]

I'd come but I don't want to embarrass everyone.

[dcsportsciv]

Suckers!! i will be out of town. leaving right after the races friday. but if tobi wants he can dyno my car for me, ill just drop it off after the races or something.

[7thGenVillain]

I'm going to try to make it, hoping I don't have to work.

[M@]

Count me out.

[Spoon92]

What if we don't have wheel locks? Will just regular lugs not work?

[HONDA GHANDI]

regular lug nuts are fine. The message is for people who have locks to bring them. Nothing peeves me more than getting the car jacked up, half the lugnuts torn off to find out the key for the locking nut is sitting on the coffee table 20 miles away.

[HONDA GHANDI]

I'll be there unless the car is sold first.

Your dad still have his yellow Camaro?

[white06wrxlmtd]

Hooray for dyno day.

[Brian]

Your dad still have his yellow Camaro?

He does. I'll have to see if he can make it up there with it.

[HONDA GHANDI]

LOL, it will cost him $175 to get here.

[Brian]

lol, no kidding! I'm trying to talk him into converting it to E85 so he can afford to put fuel in it.

[MrsGhandi]

I'll be there unless the car is sold first.


Holy crap....the HAI Jesus will be there?!?! It's been a while, man!!!!

[Brian]

I know, it's been WAY too long! It seems like i'm always out of town or have something else I have to do everytime there is a meet.

[justin]

Hmm, I am oncall for work now that weekend. If it's slow I will be there, I'd like to get my car dyno'd before I install the turbo stuff.

Hope that dyno is up for my ~90whp godly'ness.

Justin

[erick garcia]

ill be there

[Deceptakhan]

I'll be there to get my weak ass 130hp dyno sheet.

[M@]

NM, please re-add me. KTHXBYE!

[myshtern]

Curiosity - how do you dyno automatics? Just put it in the 2nd lowest gear selection?

[HONDA GHANDI]

It depends on the automatic, It needs to have some way to force it to stay in a single gear for it to work on our dyno. If that is possible, I try for the closest gear that has a 1:1 ratio. Usually 2nd or 3rd depending on the car.

[myshtern]

It's a crappy 4-speed w/ overdrive (2007 Pontiac G6). I'll check to see if I can keep it in a single gear. I cant seem to find gear ratios online for it

[BlueFang08]

Look like i wont be able to make it this time :(

[BIG T]

It's a crappy 4-speed w/ overdrive (2007 Pontiac G6). I'll check to see if I can keep it in a single gear. I cant seem to find gear ratios online for it

just swap it out and put a T56 in

[myshtern]

3rd is 1.1:1 but I dont think we can keep it in the same gear at 3rd. 2nd is 1.6:1, will that give an accurate read?

[HONDA GHANDI]

it is still accurate as long as I can get a full rpm sweep in a single gear.

[dreadlocks]

take me off the list, car is still in pieces.. :(

[myshtern]

it is still accurate as long as I can get a full rpm sweep in a single gear.

Yep, it's crap. I've got L, 3, and D for my gear selection all of which seem to do the same thing. On 3, shifts at about 5500rpm whereas redline is 6250. I dont see any way of keeping it in gear, you know any tricks for new GMs?

[HONDA GHANDI]

Not without a GM scan tool, no.

[phantomb17]

I'll be there to get my weak ass 130hp dyno sheet.

LOL. Believe me, I am in the same shoes Carl. But I do need a run just to see where i'm at. COUNT ME IN!

[myshtern]

So what time are most people coming?

[MrsGhandi]

[john]

[HONDA GHANDI]

Well, thanks for the support today. It was pretty lackluster as far as attendance. Its about 2:30 now and its a ghost town here. We are OUT!!!!

[myshtern]

That stinks, I was just about to head out

[MrsGhandi]

A big thanks to those that came out for the dyno day!
