***official Sau:sa Dyno Day Thread***

[DSTROY]

Hey guys well done on a great day, well organised effort, lots of very nice cars too!

I'm happy with the power I made, the trophy's really nice, breathed in too many fumes and had a hang over for hours after and I'm guessing I wasnt alone!

Dissapointed with the manner in the cars were run, firstly the fact that the afr's were not logged is just crazy and far too risky (even lazy), I heard one car lean out to the point it left running on less than six cylinders, also when John was running cars up he was loading them up for way too long prior to WOT, especially cars that were already warm, then having to endure such high revs for what reason I dont understand, engine bay temps wouldve been pretty high!

sorry to turn such a positive day down a little, I wont be takeing my car there again and I heard a few others say the same thing on the day.

let the flamage begin!!!!!!

I'm with ya on that one! this was the only dyno day i have ever been to where the AFR's where not checked. If the next dyno day is held their i wont be in it.

[JMW]

Im with Adrian, too long on the ramp+no AFR checking=possible expensive conclusion

Got 195.4 on Morpowa's DynoDynamics 3 weeks ago, but only 187.8 on the day with no changes

[Madaz]

^^ was wondering how long till the self absorbed realised that and it wasn't even someone that is self absorbed

pretty pro operator

[typevu]

i think hes running yellow jackets like me, i got 189.6 rwkw on 10psi (might have spiked higher, no readout on dyno chart). last dyno run i had 173 on 13psi without coilpacks or dump pipe.

what plug gaps you running vu?

my dyno chart is once again flat mid way... needs a good tune, think there's a few kw in there somewhere too, have a feeling it might crack 200 on 12psi.

Yeah I'm running Yellow Jackets @ 0.8mm gap, going to leave them at 1.1 next service I reckon.

not sure why he didn't use the exh analyzer to log the AFR's (I know the probe has a limited shelf life and is not that cheap to replace), but if there is ever another Dyno Day there again, that'll be a definite pre-requisite

[angel21]

Penny i have a few, i will see if i can figure out how to post up

[heslo]

Seems odd there were no AFR's logged? How is one to know when/if things go south?

[JMW]

When there is an earth shattering ka-boom!

[angel21]

I hope this works

when the graph goes like this

and as i said before, the engine was already broken before i put it on the dyno.

[heslo]

when the graph goes like this

Well that's one way...

[Damo_R34]

Louis your car is a fair susprise packet! Cant wait to see it back with a new, stronger bottom end!

[scandyflick]

no afr logging...?

thats rather concerning.

As Pete said, when there is another dyno day, it'll be bigger and better. You concerns are noted and taken on board guys. Even the SAU:SA committee members were busy on their feet all day. Its a learning experience for us all ... and still at the end of the day I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[D_Stirls]

I'm pretty sure that at the last pulsar dyno day at boostworx that there was no AFR's logged.

I had a 10mm hole in my in my intercooler piping where a plug had worked it's way out which resulted in Mega rich AFR's (Like <9.0:1) and there was no AFR readings produced. If i had have known i would have pulled the car off after the first run.

At the end of the day it's up to the contestant to make sure that their car is in correct running order. They aren't tuning that car all they are doing is what you are aking them to do; run the car up on the dyno to see what power it's making in it's "current" state of tune. It's not their fault of your cars not running right because all they in effect doing what most people occasionally do on the street or that same as climbing up a steep hill. When you do this you don't know what your AFR's are so you take the risk, same case here.

Did this also occur at the GWW also?

Definately dissapointing there was no AFR read out, considering Dyno tuners rely on this information to tell what the engine is doing and is safe to continue or not.

When your car was getting run up and was sitting on 5-6000 rpm (well sounded that high anyway) for what seemed like an eternity i was just shaking my head thinking WTF, definately dont blame you for feeling the way you do.

I'm with Chad if the next DD is there i will be a spectator only, the Line can stay in the shed......

Cara, just a suggestion but KPM have a really good set up really clean workshop large screen to watch the runs and plenty of parking out the front, maybe worth a look next time.

sooooory

Peter love tha sausage

lols
