MD/DC/NOVA Dyno Day: April 10th
 

There's a good shop in MD with a dyno dynamics and a Miata friendly owner who is open to hosting a dyno day.

York Automotive
300 South Main Street
Mt Airy, MD 21771-5389

Costs are $50/participant. 3-5 dyno pulls are included for that price (depending on time and amount of participants). AFR, torque/hp readout is provided.

OFFICIAL date is Saturday April 10th. We will start around 10AM.

We will need about 10 people to make this happen.

Post in the thread if you want to attend. Here is the list of participants:

1. Faeflora
2. Shuiend
3. Fmowry (tenative?)
4. Braineak
5. Swimming108
6. Saint Foo
7. Airbrush

Plus a bunch of people from miata.net and some from chesapeake area roadsters.

Gathering spot will be at the restaurant right across the street. Um I forget the name but it will be the place with wings.

I better be able to do spring/early summer. If not I have sold the car or am dead.

I am interested once I get my built bottom end. Anytime after March should be good for me.

Frank, I know it's been awhile (shooting meet w/ NASIOC in NOVA)....but if you die, could I have your car? Just askin'.


<3 Ed

ps: totally kidding if you're seriously sick. If not, just write it off as morbid humor

Depending on the exact time/date I may be able to go and watch. Quite a drive for me so we shall see.

I'll show up.

Will give me a chance to swap my MS-II to MS-I and see if there are actually loss/gains with the same timing map.

I'll come by and watch, if not dyno my nearly stock 1.6 car...

What are you scratching your power itch with nowadays?

Just saw this. Sure. My wife wouldn't know what the hell to do with it. Nor my friends. My neighbor has helped with my build so he might want it though.

All of my home theater stuff is up for grabs if I die too, as my wife doesn't even know how to turn the TV on.

Frank

my power itch is being scratched by a new house.... I keep dreaming of my LSx swap... but may say screw it and turbo the 91... I HATE not having a fast car :(

only 1 hour from my door step...i will be there!!!!!!

can any one help me out with porting my wg before then?

Give Begi a call. I believe that they do it for free.

Date updated to April 10th to avoid Easter weekend.

I'll be there.

Dibs on the home theater stuff, too! j/k.

I'm in for the dyno day if my COPS from Savington are installed by then and Brain gets a chance to tune it.

tuning couldn't be easier with that VE Analyze live feature on the new version of tuner studio.

Hmmm If I get my car together by then I might be there.

York does all of my alignments and tire mounting anyway.

Oh, we could go to J&Ps for pizza afterwards.

Brain, you hear me?




Bacon and french fry pizza + marinara or ranch dressing for dipping....mmmm.

i like pizza. magic words.

Fatty....


that place is tasty though.

haha! Forgot my compadre was reading mt.net today. You're in as well. :giggle:

Don't forget the stretch pants, everyone.

I'm like the biggest troll ever.

Awww, you're not that ugly!

that would require that i revert the car back to stock, ship it to them, wait a few months, put it back on....

i doubt they would give me a loaner for the down months.

any other ideas for WG porting help

looking forward to it. Is the 50$ the official set price?

Ill be there pending replacing my gas tank.

Blouch is like 90 miles from you if you want to pay for it.

Frank

i am definitely coming.... less than two hours from where i live in western md

Yes it is.

I might have to make it to this one, just to spectate and hang out. Haven't been to a miata event in years. About a two hour drive for me.

i think i just talked my friend in coming along. (He has a VR6) How many time slots are available?

There's about 15 slots available, depending on time and everyone's expeditiousness in getting on and off the dyno. If your buddy wants to come that would be cool but Miatas get first dyno dibs!

Im in, assuming theres still slots.

I'm backing out for the dyno. I may still show up, but not comfy going on the dyno.

I need to address some oil/coolant leaking we found at my last oil change. Probably nothing too big...but don't need to get all destructive on the dyno. I'll wait for a future date to dyno.

I'm still chasing down some MAP sensor noise. I aint runnin if it aint fixed. I have some ideas to help but... who knows!

I am still a go for the dyno day. Got to try out 15psi with the EBC and see what type of power I can make before my built engine goes in.

Put me down as maybe/probably. Wouldn't be dynoing, just coming to watch.

NoVA crew where all do we want to meet at to caravan up to the dyno day at? I figure if leave by 8 we should easily get there by 10.

meet by me cause im the most 1337 east.

You are just to lazy to drive anywhere else to meet people. Just admit it now.:fawk:

That's a factor, but I don't see anything wrong with the idea that I'm the most east before DC, therefore meet at my house.

Plus if we take glebe and GW memorial pkwy to 495, it's an awesome drive.

Brains spot is way better (closer) for me too ;) . So 8am?

won't be there guys, won tickets to orioles opening day on friday, and I couldn't have off both days

8-8:30 at my place is good (PM me if you need address), shouldn't take more than an hour and a half to get there.

For those who haven't been there before---

As you come down main street, you'll hit a long hill and then an "old town" section. The shop is in an alley on the left right at the beginning of the old town area. There is a sign saying "York Automotive" on the left.

We will meet across the street from the alley in the parking lot by the restaurant. Either my green miata or black forester will be at the parking lot entrance, depending on if my miata is healthy or not.

PM me ur address and I will then decide if it's worth it to drive all the way into Arlington for the mere pleasure of taking the scenic GW Pkwy all the way back out to 495, given that my house is 1/4 mile off 495.

scott's a mile or two from EFC up lee hwy.

i am pretty excited. i will be there by my self.

Is anyone bringing their GF?

I will see you at 8:00am sharp on saturday morning.

I am bringing my BF :brain:, does that count?

Park at Joe's Pizza.

If anyone gets lost you can call me at 1-900... Sorry 410-206-5314

Sorry, pack in the gravel parking lot across from the shop.

It was a good turn out. I really like the shop, just wish that they had more parking. Also it was amazing meeting Ken who is one of the Dev's of MS.

So, no drama w/ any cars? Everyone had a good time? I'm bummed I missed out, but had no car (got the 6-speed in thanks to Andrewtech working on a Saturday), and had to remodel my new house. Fun.

My MS resets or has other problems when I run above 10psi. Which made me sad because I wanted to do a 15psi pull. Other then that everything went decently well. no blown motors this time, or coolant shooting in to peoples faces.

I put my raw data in excel and added 10% to the numbers and compared it to my last dyno in Nov. The dyno operator said his Dyno Dynamics consistently runs around 10% lower than a dynojet with his Spec Miatas, so it will compare fairly well.

All I can say is that I'm happy with how it's running (when it's running on all 4 cly.)

Here are the uncorrected numbers, I dunno why I have the loss up top, might be from my metal core cat that I didn't have prior...

We need to use this place more often. Ill have pictures of the day uploaded later.

It appears I need a 1.8L with a small t25:

Damn I wanted to see what your car could do again ;) I need to start looking for a 6 speed too I think. Oh well.
