Dyno'd the car today on a no-name heart breaker dyno.

Picked up 5-7% power and torque from the start of the session to the end, but I think I'm still quite a ways from what a proper 0pt NB1 PTE engine should make, especially on E85.

We'll see tomorrow how it fairs against a couple of other PTE miatas and some PTE Porsches.

 

One pole and two wins today at VIR. Quite a bit off of the lap time of what a proper full points NB1 should be able to run, but we're making progress.

Sorry, no video. Fatkao and I had some decent racing despite his old SM7s falling off badly.

 

Blaming my tires is being very generous, he forgot to mention he was also on tires of dubious heat cycle count. I drove like crap in both races. My GoPro did what GoPros do and checked out at the start of the 2nd race, but I do have the 1st race. I'll post a link to the video once I get it put together.

We had some good clean racing in cars that I think are actually well matched. I really do want to go buy some R7s now though.... along with cams and a proper diff.

 

Congrats on the pole and wins... Doesn't sound like a bad weekend.

What tuner/dyno shop did you use in the Charlotte area, if you don't mind me asking?

 

Thank you for the congrats.

The dyno shop I used was CKP Tuning aka Custom Kings Performance. The tuner was me, myself, and Irene. I don't remember the brand/type of the dyno but it is a roller type and allegedly it reads 10-15% lower than a dynojet. I'm guessing the 15% is about accurate.

The dyno works/worked well enough. My tuner is a bit of a hack though.

 

I look forward to seeing the video.

I've been slacking very badly on taking video the last year or so. I really should have front and rear facing cameras running every session.

 

Here you go. I always run video. The GoPro flakes out for one reason or another like 1/3 the time, but I don't like having video if someone protests for some BS reason.

 

That looks like fun! Managing SE30 traffic seemed to be critical, lol.

 

Here is Sunday's race from P3.

 

Holy crap that looks like a blast! I'm definitely running VIR next year, hopefully with Barber too.

 

Cage it and come play with us.

 

Yea it’s very tempting for sure, need to find some time to sit down and chat with Luke about some w2w shenanigans.

 

CMP!

(this is me assuming Luke will be at CMP next month )


I guess there's RA in December as well.

 

I will likely only be an irresponsible influence.


I am planning on CMP, but haven't registered yet. Not sure if PTE or TTE, probably just going to do TTE.


Not going to make it to RA in December, that's my wife's BDay weekend and we'll likely be at Barber the next weekend.

 

MKTurbo CMP Sponsored Car PARTY!!!!!

I should be getting my 94 on jackstands this weekend to pull those Xida's. I should hopefully get them up to you next week.

 

I don't think Emilio allows for him to own any more 949 products

 

 

Awesome, if we can't link up before CMP we'll just do it then. I will be there barring any disasters between now and then.

 

Registered for CMP, currently registered for TTE.

Picked up some new (to me) suspension goodies from Lars Wednesday night. Not sure if I'll install before CMP because I will have to immediately un-install after the event becuz ChumpCar.


I think we're currently at 4 TTE cars. One of you guys in the southeast need to come play with us at this event so Marcus can win some more tires.

 

Yeah!!
