Mr. Blue Sky · 09-02-2009, 10:27 PM

Welcome back to the org guys. I will try and make it out there(save me a spot). I want to have a baseline before I think of doing anymore modifications to the maxima.

edit: don't know if we just let you guys know to RSVP for us, or we contact them, but here goes

ROGER! Its good to hear from you. Give me your number and take down mine. I like your new ride!

Ok here is how it works. Just put your name on the list here on the .org to rsvp. We only have 8 spots so hurry and put your name on the list. I trust that if you guys put your name on the list it means your going.

Its 40 bux for 3 pulls. Its going to be a friendly environment for you guys because Mike and I are both going to be there helping everyone out. There will be coupons available for a re-dyno in the future if you attend this event so you will be able to put your baseline to good use. Not sure for how much but it should be good.

-Larry

sent you a PM, and I cleared up my schedule for that day, I am in. hopefully those three pulls will give me an idea if my VIAS is truly working, and where I am at when it comes to horsepower and torque.

*michaelnyden* · 09-03-2009, 03:16 PM

Roger...I remember when I dynoed by 2000 and the vias wasn't working, I was not happy and felt like I wasted a dyno...it's easy to see if it's working, just pull it out and see if the actuator cup is is solidly in there or broken...then jb weld it if not...takes very little time. Trust me, you want to dyno with the confidence that your vias is working...I could do it for you in 15 min, but if it is broken you have to jb weld it and that takes a few hours to cure.

See you at the dyno!

you're right, I should check it beforehand and fix it if it needs fixin'. I heard the heads on the screws are so weak that you need to use the larger of the phillips head screwdrivers to not mess them up.

*michaelnyden* · 09-03-2009, 04:33 PM

They are made of a really soft material like brass, just spray them with wd40, wait 5 minutes, then press/push really hard with the screwdriver (hopefully one that is beefy) towards the screw head and turn at the same time.

*michaelnyden* · 09-03-2009, 04:36 PM

Larry, the driver in the 2nd pic either looks really bored or depressed...

LOL more like asleep at the wheel.

Mr. Blue Sky · 09-04-2009, 07:15 PM

Just looked at the cup, and it looks brand new(no play, not loose in any way). I chock it up to not really pushing the car too tough, and the previous owner not pushing the car a lot either. I now have confidence that I will get a good baseline.

*Cheocwa* · 09-05-2009, 05:27 PM

No one else wants to dyno their car?

Mr. Blue Sky · 09-05-2009, 11:23 PM

come on guys, this is a good opportunity to see what your mods have netted you, or just to get a baseline like me. If we don't take advantage of this now, then we won't get any spots next time something like this comes up. Price is really cheap too.

travof2008 · 09-06-2009, 03:02 AM

I would like to RSVP as well because im looking into to do some more things to the car and I have no clue how the car is running so far. So question is how can i be down?

by posting your intent to RSVP for the event, as you have just done. They will update the list as they see people RSVP for it.

shadyonedeath · 09-06-2009, 09:12 AM

Can't wait! I said "Fck the base line!" and installed my 00vi. THere's plenty of 4th gen base lines no the org...im not expecting anything else much diff.

Hope i can tune with the three pulls on my VAFC2. Any Vafc2 guru's going to be there?

*carnal_c30* · 09-06-2009, 11:01 AM

I'm probably interested! is it $40 per pull or for a set of pulls?
i dont think my car will be done but maybe it will be...

Mr. Blue Sky · 09-06-2009, 11:51 AM

My understanding is 40 for 3 pulls. VAFC tuning may require more pulls, but then again I have never done it. Maybe someone there will be able to help

MrDicks95SE · 09-06-2009, 12:41 PM

i may go just to hang out.

You need to come out, unless you haven't changed anything since last dyno! You pulled the best numbers of the day last time!

Good times, definitely

Mr. Blue Sky · 09-11-2009, 12:48 PM

shadyonedeath · 09-11-2009, 08:08 PM

i dont think i'll be allowed to use the dynapack. My passenger side CV boot is torn and was spitting grease everywhere. I duct taped it for now until my axle gets here but its not gonna hold for long.

MrDicks95SE · 09-11-2009, 08:42 PM

how long is this till??

You can give me a call to see if its still going on, But if we have 15 cars total it will probably go to 5pm. But call if your going to come late!

*Cheocwa* · 09-12-2009, 11:21 PM

Anyone else?

Mr. Blue Sky · 09-13-2009, 06:39 PM

It was fun. I dyno'd at 168.9hp and 151.5 lb/ft of torque. Very cool to meet some new people. Thanks again mike and Larry, will see what mods( if any) I will add before next time. We also need more max's next time
