Dyno Day

[RX-7 Chris]

So am I, I will be at the next one for sure.

Thanks again Angelo for getting the ball rolling on the Dyno Day! I agree that next time we should take a deposit of some sort as a guaranty to hold our end of the deal up. Im very glad to hear that RP is bumping the numbers up to 20-25 cars! A mid summer or near end of summer dyno day would be great! I should have a good handful of new mods by then as would everyone else.

Huge thanks to RevPer for an awesome deal on the baselines! And a scary efficient day

Depostites seem like a great idea.

I'm sorry my car got stuck in HR. I was pissed all day. Next time though, next time.

A couple people backed out last minute for us to not get the 15 as planned which did not help. But it still seems to me that RP came ahead with 14 cars Dynoing in only a 4 hour time period instead of an 11 hour period. Hell of a job by them getting in so many cars in a short period! Look forward to another Dyno Day this Summer.

^^I agree and in no way were they upset about the whole thing. I just felt a bit bad about it because i didn't get them the money i said i would, thats all. Like i said all in all we had a great time and so did they.

I'll be going back Thursday for full price, so consider it a round-about makeup for the money due from my buddy Brian.

Calculated my numbers, Corrected... 255whp and 307wtq[/b]

Your numbers were corrected... IIRC, 207whp was with a 1.13 CF, which is just about perfect for a turbo car. Uncorrected, your car put down 183whp, and using a FULL correction factor, 1.27 for that dyno, which would ONLY be applicable for a Naturally Aspirated vehicle, your car would have only put down 233whp.

I think No-Coast-Punk's math was a little off, as multiplying your corrected 207whp by .87 would equal 180whp, but it doesn't work the other way around, as multiplying 180whp by the correction factor 1.13 would equal 203whp. In order to find the number that would be able to be multiplied by the corrected 1.13 CF, and come out to be the corrected 207whp, we would have to multiply 207whp by about .885 which would be about 183.1whp, which I rounded down to 183. So I think a more accurate way to find your uncorrected numbers would be to multiply by about .885 or so for a turbo car.

A correction factor is only calculated to show what your car would make at sea level. On a Dyno Dynamics, at sea level, in 70 degree weather, with no correction factor, it's assumed that your car would have put down 207whp, which is no where near 255whp.

Now, if you wanted to lie to yourself, and give yourself HIGHLY overinflated FULL correction Dynojet numbers, using 1.41 CF based on the 183whp I found, then you would make 258whp or so, but realize, even on a dynojet, at sea level, your car would not make 258whp, since No-Coast's formula appears as though it was generated to match dyno's like MAC's that use a full correction factor on turbo cars that don't need it... if we subtracted about .13 from the formula, to show what your car should make at sea level, with no correction factor on a dynojet, using a 1.28 CF you would probably make about 234whp on a dynojet at sea level, with no correction in 70 degree weather.

You can use 255-258whp if you want, but honestly, it's just like lying to yourself, as your car isn't making that much horsepower. Not trying to be a dick, just point a few things out.

Your numbers were corrected... IIRC, 207whp was with a 1.13 CF, which is just about perfect for a turbo car. Uncorrected, your car put down 184whp, and using a FULL correction factor, 1.26 for that dyno, which would ONLY be applicable for a Naturally Aspirated vehicle, your car would have only put down 231whp.

Thanks for breaking that down to him. I knew he didn't make 255whp but I can't always explain it via a forum.

Sorry MS3_Mafia.

Unfortunately, I havent felt any gains with it at all so far. It is catted, but I sure as shit was expecting to feel a little bit. Some people made it sound like Id be grinning from ear to ear, instead I feel like I either wasted my money on it, or I should have gone catless. Hopefully after engine management comes into play, it will all come together
