Re: 2011 Fall Dyno Day - September 24th @ Modern Automotive Performance

Thanks everyone for making this a fun event! The turnout was relatively small but it worked out well for those taht did attend, I think about 70% of people got a prize!

My car seemed pretty much right on the money from making 470-480whp at DB earlier this summer--543whp @ 30psi. The odd thing is that the car ran about 1 full AFR point richer on the dyno than it does on the street (you know....same thing happened at DB now that I think about it)....and I noticed that MAP's map sensor seemed to read about .5psi less than my 4-bar--maybe this was due to smoothing or something? Also the car ran ~28psi on the dyno and I run ~31psi on the street, so I cranked the MBC one full turn to bring boost up. My hybrid setup is pretty nice in situations like this, pretty easy to bump up boost w/o touching the ecu but still maintaining a nice flat boost profile.

Anyways, the car is healthy, dyno day went off w/o too many problems, I'm happy! Watching Mark's car writhe on the dyno was crazy, I'm SO glad it worked out.



Congrats to John Lacroix for taking the trophy today! Your car is simply legendary.





And, the full list, missing one mostly stock evo8 that made ~270whp.

Chris,

That means their dyno wasn't loading your car the same it is loaded on the street. Very common for dynojets.

Yup, just sharing my notes since I have very specific numbers to share
