Okay guys I posted interest and there was bascially Zilch interest in going to Blood Ent in the near future... personally I'd like to do a 'road tune' style run again, but maybe after I have good software that I can tweak.

SO, the next one we are doing is at Carb Conn again in Kirkland. It is already established that the 5th, 12th, and possibly the 19th are out for August (Seafair on the 5th, Fender Rolling Day on the 12th, and the 19th there is a tentative drive). So we'll look at the 26th, which actually might be a really good day to do it because the next day is the BMW CCA Mountain Twisties Run Tour! :alright.

Can I get a list of interest for August 26th as a Dyno Day at Carb Conn??


HOLLA!

EEEEeeee36

I'm interested but don't know if i'm going to dyno.

Depends if i get my parts in time.

I'm still working on part of that too.. ;)

Yeah hopefully it won't take like 2 months to receive like the last uuc part i ordered. :(

I should be able to make it to either 19th or 26th. For some reason I thought the 'Mountain Twisties Tour' was on the 26th. :shifty

Sign me on!

BMW CCA site says the 27th, and I even posted on the Puget Sound CCA board about the date being July 27th and he verified it was August 27th. Should we email Kevin and confirm that it is going to be on a Sunday?

You mean Scott? Well, the club magazine and the thread on the CCA forum both state that it's on the 27th so I am sure that's it. It's just that usually we have tours on Saturdays and rarely on Sundays...

Oops...yeah, scott. Who's Kevin? :dunno Must be HIDPlanet.com or MP3Car.com of something... oh well!

Yeah, there is a more detailed thread about it now. I'll link to it, but it specifically says Sundy in the thread. Damn, that's going to be a NICE 10 hour drive!! :alright.

Okay, back On Topic... looks like Aug 26 is good then. :thumbup:

Hi,

I'm interested, if you don't mine my joining you? I already have an appointment w/them for the 12th, but at full price.

BlackChrome mentioned to me about the dyno run you are getting together here.

Thx

Of course we don't mind! It will be awesome... we usually BBQ some food and hang out (and do burn outs in the parking lot when John isn't looking :D).

Just did. 8/26 is a go. :thumbup:

I am in! :D

I think the 26th will work (still need an "after" dyno run) i'll check my schedule and get back to you.

Hmmm i might be interested if i get my parts (intake, exhaust, shocks, springs) installed by then... I've been itching to get in on any kind of meet for so long!

Have you ever done a baseline? Even if you haven't installed parts, it's good to have a baseline done to make sure the parts you install are benefitting the way they should be.

count me in..can i bring my race car (it isnt a bmw) too as i havent dynoed it yet after i put boost on it and rebuilt the motor??

Sure! The more the merrier. Last time we had 4 VWs show up also. :thumbup:

I'll definitely go to watch at least. If I get my manifold and software done by then I'll dyno too.

I'm interested but don't know if i'm going to dyno.

Depends if i get my parts in time.
Me thinks you will ;) :D

Putting in 2 new O2 sensors on Friday. I also have a new intake. We'll see how she does now. I haven't gotten my software, but it'll be good to see a "new" baseline with the new O2 sensors that are about 50k overdue!

Have you ever done a baseline? Even if you haven't installed parts, it's good to have a baseline done to make sure the parts you install are benefitting the way they should be.
no that's a good point, and i won't have them installed in time anyway, so it's happening on the 26th? I'll try my best to be there and meet some more fellow NW bavarian enthusiasts!

There ya go! Even if you get there at Noon or 1, I'll still be there at least. :smoke3 I'll be there from open to close.... :D

I don't get off work until 4 that day now. :(

I don't get off work until 4 that day now. :(
That's cool, I'll stay for you if Jon will too.

So do we have enough interest to make it happen next Saturday? We need at least 5 cars, right?

Here is who I have for the dyno day runs:

EEEEeeee36
///w3fl3x
BlackChrome (running?)
GoHack
cramer
turbodefronst (50/50)
Tucked M3
EBM3/4 (if he gets his new parts)


That is 5, and maybe 8. Believe it or not, I may go twice. I am probably getting my software this week, and I am putting in my new O2 sensors today. I'd like to see how much difference the O2 sensors make, and then load the software after everyone else goes and do another run. :thumbup: Tuning isn't allowed, but I don't think Jon will mind if I do two runs (and pay twice!).

BTW, Jesse, I am running. :cool

BTW, Jesse, I am running. :cool
Okay good, so if I go twice that is at least 7. :thumbup:

Yay the rsc36 is on and sounds very sexy even though it's not even broken into yet. :redspot

Well i might try to get off earlier if i can on saturday.

How late do you think you guys will be there? I work in auburn so it'll take atleast an hour for me to get up there.

Ouch.. Well given that we have at least 7 people dynoing before you, and it takes 20-30 minutes each... hmm.. we start at 10am or a little after so that would put us to about 2pm. If more people dyno then of course it will go longer. I'll talk to Jon on Monday and see what he can do. I'd stick around just to hear that damn thing run!! :alright

Just got back from another test drive but with my brother this time. :D

Oh and i weighed the stock and rsc36 too before i put it on. There's a 10-15 lbs difference between the two.

Atleast i got the baseline run last time. I'll see if i get that 8 rwhp gain. :D

If i can't make it i'll for sure get the next dyno day off.

I might be interested in this. I'll confirm in a couple of days. What's the price? If i do show up, it'll probably be around 12 noon and i won't be able to stay too long.. is there gonna be a schedule? - i.e. can i just come for my session and not wait for everyone else? i'm cool with spending 2 hours there, but not 4 or 5.

The price comes to just over $80, but that includes from 3-5 pulls and AFRs. :thumbup: No, you would not need to hang around for 4-5 hours. If you have a time crunch just let John know and he'll get you in where you need to be. Thanks!

Huy,

Looks like I'm going to miss you at yet ANOTHER dyno day!! :banghead: I SOOOO wanted to hear that RSC36 at WOT from 3 feet away too... :( Turns out my wife wrote down a baby shower on the wrong Saturday and I have to be down in Burien at 2, so I'll be there at 10am for the DD and then probably have to bolt around 12:30 at the latest. I would avoid a baby shower like the plague normally, but this one is for my brother and sis-in-law so I gotta go. I'll still talk to John on Tuesday about whether he can stay till 5 for the Dyno Day or not. I know they normally stay open on Saturday, so it may just be a case of coming in as soon as you can get there. :thumbup: I'll let you know Huy.

Unless you are feeling a little "ill" that day and couldn't make it to work.... :evil2 :devillook

well you better move me to a maybe, it seems the wedding I'm attending that evening may have me there much, much earlier :(

I'm still going to try and sneak out early and see if i can be one of the first run, but I won't be able to wait around much.

Wow this is too funny.

I had to leave around 12:30 on the last dyno day. :eyecrazy

If they don't want to stay late i won't make them. I'll just wait for the next one. Maybe we'll even be there at the same time. :D

Ok, you can consider me confirmed. i'll be coming in around noon. can we schedule that i get on the dyno some time between 12 and 1? my brother's visiting for the weekend, so i gotta show him seattle.. so i can't spend too much time at the dyno. if i leave before 2 i'll be all set.

I'm sure we can make a 'schedule'. Most of the time it's first come first serve, but I'm sure the community doesn't have a problem with accommodating odd schedules.


I hope my car is running okay still... I had problems with my DME acclimating to my new O2 sensors, but I think it's just the LTFTs adjusting. It pulls harder since I reset my OBDII over at Scott's house this evening, and hopefully it will fully acclimate within this week. :thumbup: My previous O2 sensors must have been completley toast for my LTFTs to be this far off.... :dunno

We start at 10AM, right?

JOHN IS A LIFESAVER!

You guys have to trust him if you ever have anything wrong with your BMW. I plugged my O2 sensors into the wrong harness (which he reassured me was a mistake themselves have made in the shop!) and my car was running rough - I thought it was my VANOS going out! I swapped them out and my car runs beautifully now. Thanks again John for your help, I appreciate it.

See you guys on Saturday! :alright

Good to hear the good news, Jesse.

Now I just need to swap back my stock 17s then I am all set!

Thanks! I'm looking to break 200whp this weekend; I believe the new O2s will be an integral part to that equation! ;)

Why 17s? Better traction?

I had the stock wheels back in March when we dynoed it so just trying to make it as close to that run as possible (with exception of software and CAI).

hey jesse, your sig says 181whp with the upgrades listed there... what have you changed since then?

hey jesse, your sig says 181whp with the upgrades listed there... what have you changed since then?
Gruppe M Carbon Fiber intake;
New A/F O2 sensors;
New OBD O2 sensor SIMS;
Switched from Mobile 1 0w-40 to Amsoil TRO 2000 0w-30;
Amsoil TRD Tranny fluid and new tranny filter;
Amsoil Race 75w-90 rear diff fluid;
And.......... Hiop RaceTec Race software! IF it gets here when it's supposed to...
I also re-set my DME, which I never did after I put on my M50 manifold. I don't know if that will make a difference since I did it right after I put on the O2 sensors, but I do feel more power through the powerband with just the new O2 sensors alone.

Wayne from Pelican Parts actually recommends you change your O2 sensors every 30k!! I didn't know that... I thought it was closer to 100k (actually IIRC a BMW Technician told me it was 100k). Anways, for $170 every 3 years, I'd rather change the O2 sensors every 30k. :thumbup:

I wanted to have my cams already, but it's good that I can dyno before and after cams with software. :)

I had the stock wheels back in March when we dynoed it so just trying to make it as close to that run as possible (with exception of software and CAI).
Makes sense... it'd be interesting to see how much rotational inertia changes your power to the ground with your larger wheels though. Obviously you'd want to do one after the other... might be a good idea for the next dyno day we have. ;)

hey jesse, your sig says 181whp with the upgrades listed there... what have you changed since then?
You know since you mentioned it, I read my sig. It says "Exhaust Valve Delete"!! Someone is going to think I somehow deleted my Exhaust Valves!! :lol :banghead: I meant the butterfly valve that is in the stock 328i exhaust systems... that's okay, I'm changing my sig soon anyways. :)

Hi,

So what time do we meet there?

Huy,

We can't dyno past 2-2:30. If you can't get there before 3, then I guess you'll just have to roll on the next one. Sorry!

Who do I talk to to make a schedule? Can you guys put me down for around 12:00?

This will just give me more time to break it in. :D I'll be at the next one for sure though.

I don't know that your car has fully adapted to the airflow yet, either.

Have you put in new O2 sensors since you bought your car? Anytime you make a change in airflow, your DME reacts by adding fuel, which in turn of course makes more power. If your O2 sensors are dirty you can actually losing out on power because your DME isn't getting the full story of how the airflow has changed.

Anyways, I'm not sure how long it takes for the STFTs to fully adjust your LTFT; but that means you probably still have some HP to free up. :thumbup:

Again, if you know your O2 sensors haven't been changed in 30k miles, or at LEAST 50k miles, then you are due for them and it will definitely change your drivability. If you need help with them I'm definitely willing to help. I have the special tools you need for the BMW manifold (or rather to get TO the O2 sensors on the manifold). :thumbup:

We'll make a list of people that have special events going on.

I'd like to have mine done as early as possible, if possible.

So put me on the list.

Thx.

Tyically not too many people show up RIGHT at 10am... so if you get there then you can get out pretty early. :thumbup:

I am in for sure. Just called to make an appointment and was told there was an event going on. Just tuned in my methanol kit and curious to see what its putting out now. Should be a good time!

I did my inspection 2 last year at EB and can't remember if the o2 sensor was replaced or not. I'll look at the paper work later.

Well my car is running a bit richer cause when i'm parked with my window open like at a drive through i can smell the gas fumes. It's pretty strong too. :eek:

I'll be attending for sure, but only as a spectator this time. My M50 mani and AA software are both ordered but neither have made it to me. Should be a good time. See you all there.

can I go after the NSX then?

Like I mentioned, there aren't really 'slots'. We are going to be sensitive of people's time...but dyno runs aren't an exact art.

Why don't you get there at 11:30. There's going to be at least 4-5 bimmers already there, and even if you get on at 11:45 that'd be better than waiting until after 12:30. :thumbup:

nah, it's fine, i'll just show up around 12 then and if get on the dyno before 1, i'm all set. I'll be partying until late tonight so i don't wanna get up "early" :) :confused

Well...for those of you who left early, you missed the Z3 turbo. I will let him fill in the specifics. All I can say is Holy crap....huge power.:eek:

thanks for organizing this guys. my car put down 213whp and 216ftlb wtq stock with pulleys and a fan delete. nice.

Thanks again John for the service and Jesse for setting this up. It was nice meeting everyone. That NSX sure was cool!

My dyno graph....
http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/917GWKbF/937446.jpg

Thanks John, yes I was shocked as well with the power I made! The car is a 97' Z3 which I swapped out the stock 1.9 with a SR20DET out of a Nissan Silvia. Here are some pics of the build up...

pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dgreen782001/my_photos (add h t t p : / / in the beginning) (I cant post links yet)

The engine is a stock motor (Block/Head) with HKS 264 cams. 50 Trim T3/T4, Coolingmist H20/Water injection system, all controlled by an AEM EMS.

475WHP in a Z3 is A LOT of fun

Sorry I couldn't stay to see it... my brother had his baby shower at 2 and he lives an hour from me, so I had to get goin'... :(

thanks for organizing this guys. my car put down 213whp and 216ftlb wtq stock with pulleys and a fan delete. nice.
I will use your example every time someone tells me that pulleys and fan delete don't put down any power!! Those were the first mods I did, and nobody believed me when I told them I gained almost 10whp from those two mods.. You gained almost 10whp so that rocks! :thumbup:


For the record, my car only gained 4whp, but the new O2 sensors really helped the fuel trim: it gained 10wtq!! :thumbup: That is what my butt dyno was telling me too... a lot more low end grunt. :D

Next time will be new software too... didn't get delivered on Friday like it was supposed to be.

Sorry i couldn't make it. I even forgot about it after i got off work.

Ended up going up to bellevue with my dad to look at a tl and ended up going home with an 02 a4 dolphin grey. :D

It was a very productive evening.

actually it's not really 10whp, more like 6-7whp because John said that usually stock 3.2L M3s make around 206-207whp on that dyno. but that's still pretty impressive, it makes the pulleys one of the better bang-for-the-buck mods.

to be honest, I couldn't really feel a difference after i did the pulleys and fan delete... i even thought my car felt SLOWER and i was worried that i may have overheated the engine and warped the head when i was flushing the coolant. Well obviously that turned out to be wrong and the car was indeed faster, but what I'm saying is it's not a difference I could actually feel when driving (aka butt dyno).

next mods for me are the M50 manifold, CAI, 3.5HFM, and software from AA tuned for those mods. i'll do another dyno run once those (or some of them) are installed. is there another such "monthly" dyno day coming up?

oh, and btw, that 475whp z3 is IMPRESSIVE! WOW! I would never imagine that a 2.0L 4-cyl engine could make such power, even with the hugest turbos in the world.

oh, and btw, that 475whp z3 is IMPRESSIVE! WOW! I would never imagine that a 2.0L 4-cyl engine could make such power, even with the hugest turbos in the world.
Yeah, we'll be scheduling another one in September later.

My car definitely made 10+ whp after the fan delete and underdrive pulleys. I am not surprised you didn't feel much difference though; going up 7whp from 206 is not as much of a difference as going up 10whp from 151! :D

You might want to consider other software. I am doing tuning with Hiop RaceTec. They are in Winterscheid, Geramany. Even though they are not as popular here, the tuning is top notch, and is as good at partial throttle as it is at WOT. I'll have those same mods next month when I dyno. I'll show you what the HRT software can do for you. They do custom tuning specific to each persons mods, so when I order software for you we go over all of your mods and they do the base map specific to that. After that if you want to do wideband O2 to fine tune, that is an option as well.

HRT is more known on the track then on the street. A lot of track-goers use their headers, software, and exhaust. They do everything from twin-screw S/C to custom cam grinds. :thumbup:

Fun time at the dyno day indeed. I didn't dyno my car cuz my Mass Air pooped out on me and a new one is on it's way. That Z3 was damn impressive! All the cars were impressive in their own rights. I'm def comin to these regularly from now on.

At this dyno day, I got a never actually used, Eurosport M50 full coversion with the manifold, adaptor plate, and all required parts from John off their project car for less than half the price brand new! It had never been on a running car, and it showed! John and the staff at Carb Conn/RPM are always great and run these groups flawlessly and patiently, all while entertaining endless questions about parts, mods, A/F ratios, etc, etc. (especially from me!). These guys, (John especially) really involve themselves in the BMW community and have thorough knowledge of the stock cars, mods, and just about everything a Bimmer gear head can think up. This place should be the regular stomping grounds for our dyno days.

Thanks to Jesse for organizing this event and others, past and future. I cant wait til the next one when my car's back in tip top with new mods.

Thanks for the suggestion but actually I've already paid for the AA software when they had a 50% off discount last month, I just haven't sent them my ECU yet (waiting on the 3.5" intake conversion). A lot of people say that AA software is not the best, but I think for $200 (tuned for my mods) it's gonna be worth it. The Eurosport or Dinan software for these mods runs close to $1000, and even though it seems to be better, I decided to go with AA as a first try. Well we'll see how it does when I dyno my car next time. If I don't like it, I can always change it... I decided it's probably worth $200 to try it and keep it if I like it.

Yeah it would be really easy to change actually. I have the OBD hardware, so all we'd have to do is load new software. If the AA software doesn't work out for any reason let me know and I'll see what I can do for you. :thumbup:

its good to see you guys are keeping this going, I'ma get back in on this when I'm not poor... dunno when that's gonna be though :embarrasm

I've been wondering where you've been at, Jeremy! :D
