Dyno Day at MSRH - Jan. 18, 2013

[rleng1]

I have spoken to Tony Riveria with Brass Monkey Racing out at MSRH. He will be available for dyno pulls on Friday, Jan. 18th, 2013.
3 pulls/ $75. If we can get some commitment from a number of racers, he will be willing to lower the price.
Please let know by Dec. 27th if you are wanting to dyno on that Friday at MSRH, and I will deliver a car count to Tony.
Thanks.

[ShadowBolt]

I'm in.

if you guys need extras to make the #s work let me know - plenty of TT people to send your way. Might be able to convert em to AI/CMCers too... :)

[RichardP]

Dan is in...

[rleng1]

Thanks for all the replies. Let me know.

[blk96gt]

Can I go ahead and get my car dyno'd even though I don't have a comp license yet?

[Fbody383]

Can I go ahead and get my car dyno'd even though I don't have a comp license yet?Yes; then you can loan it to the licensed drivers to evaluate for performance...

[ShadowBolt]

Like a former Jerry award winner?


JJ

[Fbody383]

Like a former Jerry award winner?I don't see anything wrong with that. It might be nice to drive a fast car for a chance...

[Al Fernandez]

I'm in too. Thats six or seven so far. Thanks for coordinating this Randy. It'll be super convenient to not have to make a special trip to do the dyno.

[BryanL]

You mean that little cupcake car has enough power to turn a dyno? I bet my 50 makes the same power.

[rleng1]

You never know what Al will show up in.
Please let me know as soon as possible, so that we can ensure the time.
Bryan, are you going to be at MSRH? If so, can you bring your plates.......and your car.

Doubt I will have the car there but I'm itching to make it. If not remind me and I'll mail all of them to you. Glad you said something as I may need to pull them out of the trailer this weekend.

Put me down as a for sure. I have used this guy for two of the last three years. Do we need to put in a time? I'm going to be at the track by 11 or 12 Friday so I can go early. Like Al said it makes the dyno process easy.


Jerry

[blk96gt]

Yes; then you can loan it to the licensed drivers to evaluate for performance...

Then I'm in for the dyno; will let someone drive it for a nominal fee...

[Wade]

I know what Al will show up in. <shifty eyes>

Put me down for the dyno. I'm going to need one anyway and that saves a round trip to Houston.

[rleng1]

Here is who is in:
Jerry
Wade
Al
Dan
Francis
Randy
Blk96gt

Wade, any idea if Gary, Tilton, or Ben will be in for the dyno?

[HoustonNW]

Put me down for the dyno please.

[David Love AI27]

Whats your price???

[Wade]

I just emailed my cronies and told them to check the list. I know that Gary has the motor out of the car, but I'm betting that he will be ready. Pranav is a maybe. I'd assume Tilton and Ben are "in" but I'll let them decide.

[Wade]

Tilton says he is not coming to MSRH so he is out.

Another buddy of ours, Robert Rudduck, races an M3 in GTS3 and says that he has tried to get an account approved on this forum but has not been able to do so. Not sure the time frame on this. Can someone add him please?

Robert Rudduck, robert@rpowered dot net

Please add him to the dyno list as well.

[Alien]

Put me down for one spot.

[GlennCMC70]

Please add him to the dyno list as well.

There is a contact admin link here on the site. Send an email there and he will be added. The auto registration has been disabled due to spam and such.

[GlennCMC70]

Just under the Gallery link at the top of this page is a quick links button. Click that and pic 1 of the top 3 names that show up (admin, Jeff or Chris).

[BryanL]

Whats your price???

No kidding. I'm interested.

Doubt I have the car ready but if I did dynoing there is a no brainer.

[David Love AI27]

You might want to give BL some consideration... any times he puts down will be easily obtainable for a rookie...

If you want to see the full potential of your car and set a challenging goal for yourself, shot me a PM

[blk96gt]

Hah. Will keep that in mind, lol.

[BryanL]

Good idea. Maybe Love can hook you up with Wirtz to really find out what the car will do. If you want to spend the rest of the weekend under your car and covered in oil let daddy love drive it.

[blk96gt]

I'm out for the dyno. Picked the car up today after the engine rebuild and will probably wait until after MSRH to get it done. Want to run it on the track before I do an official dyno.

I would suggest running on the dyno first. Better place to break in a motor especially if something goes wrong. If it has a problem and you can't race on track you saved $300 from your entry fee by not hitting the track. You also might not oil down the track which isn't a good way for a rookie to start.

[blk96gt]

I was on the dyno yesterday. I'm running it a bit rich right now and want to get a bit more power out of it. I just want to wait until after I get a few laps on it before I start leaning it out.

I know............ I can't believe no one has jumped on it yet.

When do we ever need Glenn...

[marshall_mosty]

I just picked mine up today and will get it back in the car after x-mas. Richard advised 2-3 warmup sessions in the shop to get a wear pattern on everything and ensure there are no leaks. Then a 50% session keeping off the rev limiter for 20 minutes or so, and then should be good to ream on it. I'm doing the first track session on 30W break-in oil and then changing to 10/30 for they dyno.

[GlennCMC70]

Lol

Not sure what this has to do w/ me. I'll need this one explained please.

[ShadowBolt]

Running rich then leaning it out. I assume this is what Ross was talking about.


JJ

[blk96gt]

I've got a fuel pressure regulator that I use to adjust the A/F ratio. That's the only legal way I know of doing it other than a tune (which I don't have).

[GlennCMC70]

Since your not racing w/ us yet (I had assumed that from the start), then there is no issue. Once you do, no mid-weekend adjustments. And once you do adjust it, you will need a new dyno sheet.

[blk96gt]

Yup. Since I know I'm going to be adjusting my A/F after MSRH I didn't figure it would be worth it to dyno there and then again after. Planning to get my comp license at H2R in February.

[Rsmith350]

Not sure what this has to do w/ me. I'll need this one explained please.

Explanation is that you take the role of series director and you will jump in with advise and caution against possible illegal activities....was not meant as a shot

[GlennCMC70]

Once he is out of DE's.

[Pranav]

Put me down. If for whatever reason I still dont have my crap together I'll just forfeit the $75 or we'll get to find out how much power the Tundra makes. :roll:

[edrock96GT]

.. Richard advised 2-3 warmup sessions in the shop to get a wear pattern on everything and ensure there are no leaks. Then a 50% session keeping off the rev limiter for 20 minutes or so, and then should be good to ream on it..

I've been doing pretty much the same thing, only around my neighborhood.

[michaelmosty]

You going to be at Houston Eddie? We look forward to having you back out there!!
I'm sure Calder is still having flashbacks of you next to him in the grass. ;^)

[BryanL]

Ehh-our motors our broken in once they reach operating temp.

[marshall_mosty]

Bryan,
AI motors seem to be glass jaw since we've grenaded quite a few in the last few seasons..

Mosty
Patterson
Dulaney
Rock
Neary (multiple)
Robertson
Cook (blown head gaskets)

Grrr... What fun!

We have to baby our crap till it's "seasoned"...

My engine builder told me to start it and beat the shit out of it....that was 6 years ago....

[marshall_mosty]

My junkyard motor has done fine for 7 seasons... The last motor (new 331) popped due to a dying fuel pump. I didn't have an A/F meter at the time, but do now... It was just the wrong place/wrong time last year for the fuel pump to $hit the bed... I'm crossing my fingers on this one. Also, I'm going to put a fuel pressure isolater and run a guage in the car.

[AI#97]

if you are still using stock lines, you could be fighting a flow problem, not just a pressure problem. if the lines are too small, you could generate pressure all day, but the minute you go WOT the injectors suck the line dry. Get the FP gauge and you can be sure that the FP is there during all RPM ranges.

Matt,
Very good point. I've been wanting to convert the stock lines to larger AN style fittings anyway... Will watch the FP guage on the dyno and ensure I don't have a drop when it gets tuned. Thanks for the wisdom.

[rleng1]

so we have on the list:
Jerry
Wade
Al
Dan
Francis
Randy
Ben
Gary
Robert Rudduck

[kbrewmr2]

Put me down if you want one more to get the total cost down. I can bring some more TTers as well, just say the word :)

[HoustonNW]

Put me down for the dyno please.

The above was posted on 12/19, you have me on ignore or what? ;)

[rleng1]

Almost forgot about you. Come on.
Tony knows we will have between 10-12 cars and he is prepared to accommodate. $75/3 pulls, and we may get some discount if we all show up in a timely fashion.
Expecting start at around 10 am or so.

[Rob Liebbe]

Randy,

As a thought, are you going to give priority to race cars and TT cars that require a dyno sheet in order to compete? Seems like we've done this on past dyno days so that those who really need it get done. It would suck if, for instance, Pranav's Tundra blows the dyno up early in the day due to all that massive Toyota power.

[rleng1]

I have communicated to Tony that we have 10-12 NASA CMC cars that will be wanting to dyno on Friday. If he wants to work in others, I assume he has that proagative. We haven't reserved any time slots. Just let him know to be ready for some dyno sessions. I'm sure we can get everyone in over the weekend.

[Alien]

I won't have the CMC car. I'll have the Mini there if we need more cars to get the 'discounted' price.

[ShadowBolt]

[marshall_mosty]

Just got my dyno done at HPP. Granted I won't need it for a while, but know I will make at least one event in 2013... just not sure when.

David,
I've already talked to J. Gunter, but due to the amount of time I'm going to be out, it just didn't make sense with the logistics, etc...

[MikeS]

I have spoken to Tony Riveria with Brass Monkey Racing out at MSRH. He will be available for dyno pulls on Friday, Jan. 18th, 2013.


What's the latest time on the 18th? I'll probably arrive near 7 or so.

[rleng1]

Not sure. I will check with him tomorrow. I am assuming he will e available on Saturday, but will confirm tomorrow.

[Alien]

JJ

Spare engine wasn't quite as plug and play as I thought. Planned on a new pan, pump, valve springs and go. Apparently there are quite a few differences between a '97 and '94 LT1, so I ended up tearing the 'new' '94 down to block/crank/rods/pistons. It'd be silly not to throw in rings and bearing since it's down this far. Whole thing just snowballed to more than I expected.

That combined with a few other things, like saving for a trip to Scotland this year (~$1200-1400 each plane ticket) and not being on OT, means I'll be skipping a few races in 2013. Figure now's also the time to do a few things to the car I've been putting off. I most definetly will be at Hallett and TWS tho. I'll be back on your bumper full time in 2014... got an Ironman record to beat.

[kbrewmr2]

Randy - I've got a new Corvette guy that *really* needs a dyno - can he please crash in with you guys on Friday if possible?

Also - did you hear for sure if the place will be open to people who need it on Sat?

Makes no difference to me but we need some kind of order to make sure those of us that got in first don't get pushed aside by these guys wanting in at the last minute.


JJ

[kbrewmr2]

he's coming from costal Mississippi (iirc) so I would think you guys could easily get through before he gets there. Besides, don't you want some fresh fish to talk into CMC racing for next season? ;) Sell C5Z, buy CMC car, buy trailer, buy truck, buy race gear = no extra money yaknow. Could be an easy sell :)

[David Love AI27]

David,
I've already talked to J. Gunter

Why didn't you just say you needed more balast on the drivers side??

[michaelmosty]

why didn't you just say you needed more balast on the drivers side??
swish!!!!!

Man, that sucks Gary
