Clown Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I know we all pretty much have the same car but who would be interested in a Rolling Road Dyno Day? I'm thinking either I could arrange one locally at Eurospec in Guildford or something and hope the local lads turn up, or maybe go more central to the country and arrange one at my mate's place at Powerstation in Shrewsbury. Need to gauge interest first though.
Chris`I Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Had my 350z down at Eurospec a few years ago. Was a good crack and they certainly seemed to know what they were doing. I'd pop down if you arranged it there

Clown Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 A whole bunch of us went to Eurospec a couple years ago. It was good banter, we had pizzas, but because they were all being sociable, it took a whole day to dyno about 30 cars! Saying that, cars seemed to jump places so we had RWD FWD AWD cars all getting jumbled up with different wheel bases. A lot of those guys were also unhappy that their numbers were low - fans were being blown at the car without the bonnet up - but I'm not clever enough to understand all of this. On the flip side, lots of people are happy with Eurospec and I haven't been to their new place yet. The only reason I threw Shrewsbury in there was in case we could have some sort of mega meet to catch more people around the country?
Chris`I Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 My 350z made 240HP@wheels (~280HP@fly according to their fudging), that was with the bonnet down, so I assumed that was a realistic number. A lot of the Evo (MLR) boys I was there with were disapointed, but I think thats just because they fit all their bolt ons and expect silly numbers. I was happy to hit stock numbers (give or take) and was running a pop charger at the time which will have sapped a small amount of power. Intake temps were higher than on the road (read live via CarPC), but not a huge amount from what I remember. Another place we've been before are Surrey Rolling Road. The numbers there seemed a bit hit and miss compared to what people expected. I didnt run my car there as the setup of where it is limited the amount of cars that could be run. Eurospec was very good for a socialble atmosphere.
John tarantula Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I'd be up for it as long as they did an AFR print out on the graph as well. (expect they do but been to some places that don't! )
Clown Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 I guess I could also give Mark at Abbey a ring to see if it is something that they could accommodate, if we got some interest. 1. Clown 2. Chris 'I (Eurospec only) 3. The Bounty Bar Kid 4. 4RE Leather 5. John tarantula (AFR printout) 6. ??
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Not really a drive for me. Takes about 10mins to get there. Lol.
Greddy-Matt Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Surrey rolling road are good, ive had a couple of cars mapped and run there Somewhere with a hub dyno would be ideal tho
John tarantula Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 been to Surrey Rolling Road and it was good but remember it taking a while though may have been because it was so cold while waiting! thinking about it all RR days I've been to involve a lot of waiting and watching! Good excuse to chat to people
Clown Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 Can I put you down Matt for a SE dyno day or further?
Chris`I Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Is this for n/a zeds only Dont see why, more the merrier - unless you have too much power for the dyno
Clown Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 The only people who are not welcome are people with FWD 350z 1. Clown 2. Chris 'I (Eurospec only) 3. The Bounty Bar Kid 4. 4RE Leather 5. John tarantula (AFR printout) 6. Greddy-Matt 7. I guess it would have to be a Saturday. I'll go through my calendar and propose some dates when I have a minute It would be fun for people to come even if they aren't running. What we usually do is watch everyone run and then off to the pub for some food and more standing around in car parks!
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I would be willing to do a Saturday dyno day. Will need some carefully planing thou , as we seem to have a yard full of cars at the moment, I will need to get the go ahead with the landlords to make sure I can run the dyno for a full day on a Saturday. Will be good to run all the Zeds on a hub dyno runs can be with bonnet up or down , AFR and boost curves's can be supplied as well. Keep the list going and we will see when we can organise a day for you guys n girls
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 might have to get my y pipe b4 this happens!
Chris`I Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I would be willing to do a Saturday dyno day. That would be good
John tarantula Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 indeed! Anyone else up for this then? Good and cheap way to check everything's still running right!
Chris`I Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I'm in, date depending, would prefer abbey's hub dyno Quite fancied getting mine on a roller dyno to get some nice high numbers
Bry Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I'm in, date depending, would prefer abbey's hub dyno Quite fancied getting mine on a roller dyno to get some nice high numbers As my wheels way the same as the moon, I'll steer clear of the roller dyno's
Will370z Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Id be up for this, rude not to since its on my doorstep
Clown Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 1. Clown [first dyno, standard 350Z HR with blowing exhaust ] 2. Chris 'I (Eurospec only) 3. The Bounty Bar Kid 4. 4RE Leather 5. John tarantula (AFR printout) 6. Greddy-Matt 7. Bry 8. Will370z Just for your information, as Mark said above, he is looking into arranging a dyno day at Abbey Motorsports for us. It could be a few weeks if people are happy to wait. There are several things he needs to iron out like space for a potentially big meet and whether the landlords will allow the dyno day on a weekend. Watch this space and get signed up! Can you guys reply as to whether this would be your first dyno and if it isn't what result you got last time, and also what car you're running or what you're expecting. Thanks
