I will be there to watch all your guys motors explode. If I wasent going to get tuned at DIY the following week I would be down. Once I get back up from GA we can compare spark maps and dynos to see if DIY does any vodoo magic.

Braineack 07-03-2008 06:51 PM

so it looks like a 2860, 2871, 3060 (my JB T3), and a 3071....how fun!

2> Scott Diddly
3> Pschmiz
4> Fae... (did not see a def yes/no?)
and Hobo y8s from DC (observer/knock detector)
and Lars (observer/knucklehead)

I am leaving tomorrow for WV, but I will confirm with the shop Monday, so thats the deadline. If Fae is in we are closed. :)

Definite yes!

MR Y8S yes, tutelage on Hydra would be greatly welcomed! I'd like to know how to do it myself anyways :)

Newbsauce 07-03-2008 10:00 PM

Ok we are all set then. I tried to negotiate down to 85/hr but got shot down. Looks like 90/hr w/ operator.

Braineack 07-03-2008 10:02 PM

hah oh well, beats paying $75 for an hour on a dynojet (well one without steady state)....

Newbsauce 07-07-2008 04:20 PM

We are confirmed for 10am Saturday. Address is on the original post.

FAWK. If i had read this sooner I might have planned a trip up to see family around that time.

y8s 07-07-2008 05:46 PM

make my ass get up early. sheez.

Ferg01BRG 07-07-2008 06:07 PM

I'm thinking of coming.
I'm waiting for my Hydra 2.6 to get here so I can start tuning it and would love to get it right and avoid all potential problems.

I live in Salisbury, MD about 2.5 to 3 hours away.

Does this place have a WB/O2? If so, how does it attach, bung or tail pipe sniffer?

Braineack 07-09-2008 11:04 AM

y8s 07-09-2008 01:04 PM

Actually an "observer check list" would be nice for the dyno day- things to look/listen for that the owner would never notice from the interior of the car...

* BOV leaking boost, killing spool
* exhaust leaks
* coolant (steam) leaks
?

Or some of the more recently dyno day events:

Ridiculous smoke blowing out of the engine from failed ring
Engine bay shooting sparks/igniting
Turbo separating from the manifold
Oil all over the dyno from blowing the motor

Braineack 07-09-2008 02:20 PM

yes, our dyno days usually have cooler things to watch out for...

our checklist would be something like:

flames
oil
coolant
fingers
kittens
