PGA Dyno Day - 26th of may

Hey guys

I know it's a long way off, but since people have either bought new cars, performed serious mods or haven't had a run, I'm thinking of organising another dyno day for the 26th of May - DATE CHANGE, which is ages away, so people can organise time off etc. It'll be a Graham West's again, and those of us who have had a run there can attest to their professionalism.

Graham West Workshops

668 Marion Road

Park Holme

Also, let's beat the figure of 17 cars running which we had last time. So I'm asking if you know some other car clubs (WRXSA, GTiROZ, T4S, SA Supras, InFMS, SA Rotors etc) invite them along, so we can get a good mix of cars and people attending.

So, are you guys keen?

(I'm looking at Paul, Colin, Jon, Nath, Tom, Sam and Steve for this event, I'm sure you boys will be keen, since you've done upgrades/got new cars!)

Cheers

Daniel

Hi guys,

Just an update, for those of you who might be travelling a distance to get to this event, and wish to guarantee your run, please contact "Graham West Workshop on 8277 5688" and add your name to the entrant list. Just mention the Pulsar Group Dyno day on the 26th of May, and make sure you ask for Lynette.

We are capped at 40 entrants, and this is the best way of making sure people who really want a run can get a chance. (At last check there are 25 positions left)

Also, we have secured our first sponsor, Jack Baker Tyre Power, so prizes will be available on the day.

Fast Fours staff will be attending to cover the event and do a PGA club feature. Ignition DVD have been invited but have not replied as yet.

Cheers

Costs and are they looking @ having all thouse clubs there as well or is SAU first port of call to see if we can make up the extra numbers

i know when we had our dyno day its not over in 1hr so to many clubs and would be crap

im interested if its just PGA and SAU

From Dan.

It's $40 for 2WD - $50 for AWD for that you get three runs, and a detailed prinout of your best run (powercurves, AFRs etc)

There'll be a barbie of sorts too.. just a hang out day with few other clubs... ne.com/ns.com/rexsa/etc.

^^ agreed and that 3 runs is back to back no point doing another run after your 2nd your just making it hotter

$50 AWD i was of the impression turbo tune had the only AWD dyno or is that to drop your front shaft

OMG over 40 cars are they running it from 6am to 6pm

There are a few places with AWD dyno's in adelaide now. The exhaust place next door to carlovers on port road were getting one in soon too.

edit: bad engrish :O

A bit of variety doesn't go astray.

Our last SAU dyno day was rather boring to say the least. The one prior; no restrictions just who ever wants to enter enter. It was great, a few VL's, MS75's beast etc.

I'm thinking about it, should be a nice little surprise providing the gearbox holds up. 1:1 should be fine lol :S

yeah true cubes but i guess we were hoping for a few big HP lines up there hostile was on the dyno only a few days earlier so didnt want to go again

i forget what happened to my mate chris i dont think he could be bothered pulling his front shaft

and some of the SLO boys would of been nice too but hey sall good

Bump

im not very much considering on going to this any more new howie are you definately going anyone else considering this or have most of you forgotten about it

there are more sponsors now also with prizes for something

anyways ive invited a WRX'ey friend

So is anyone from here going?

I went to a dyno day there early last year with another club and got a miserable result (car was almost completely stock).

They use a dynolog dyno which many people say reads 10-20kw lower than dyno dynamics dynos (could be just rumour).

Would be interesting to see what my car gets on there now just to compare with my last dyno there (and also to compare with my last recent dyno on a dyno dynamics) :wave:

Not sure if i'll go yet tho.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
