Minneapolis Dyno Day!!!!

prelude2perfect · 07-29-2010, 11:56 PM

I should be there as of now. Tomorrow is the due date but we'll see what happens. As long as she is late I'll be throwing it on the dyno with the baby seat in the back!

I doubt I'll make it up to Caribou, will plan to just meet you guys at the shop.

nferber · 07-30-2010, 12:15 PM

I'll most likely just meet you guys at the shop. As long as I'm able to wake up tomorrow I'll be there.

I might get there a little before that to get some strong coffee in. Such an unearthly hour to be out and about on a Saturday

Hey Gary, since my car is out of commission, would you mind giving me a ride to the Dyno Shop?

Unless you guys think it would be a good idea to a dyno a car that only has downpipes on it?

I'll throw up a few pics this evening. I talked to Chris earlier in the week but decided to just have the dealer do it in the end. The pricing was decent and convenience came into play as they'll give me a loaner when they fit the shield.

Not a problem - as long as we can go for a ride around town in yours before you put the exhaust back on

Well, Chris is the dealer installer, so same difference, except, as you pointed out, you get the loaner. Good move

I got my car through Motorwerks, and I think they have a different installer. I can't remember the guys name that was mentioned, but I don't think it was Chris. I could be wrong though! The loaner sold me though, as it would have been a pain to have to leave the car, get picked up, dropped off etc.

I'm looking forward to see it in pictures and tomorrow at APS!

BrianMN · 07-30-2010, 05:41 PM

Anvar---bring your car anyways! I drove around for a day with only downpipes and it didn't sound too obnoxious. Seriously! I can give you a ride too if need be

M3x2 · 07-31-2010, 01:55 PM

That was a lot of fun. Nice to place faces and names with screen names. Also really nice to see the torquealicious 335's run! Look forward to next meet.

BSME90 · 07-31-2010, 05:24 PM

Yeah, that was fun to see dyno runs for some of the cars. Great to see Gary's new car. I'll post pictures of it later.

EDIT: Gary, your angel eyes are bright.

Thanks Martin! The lights sure are bright, can't believe it came from the factory like that!

great pictures, Martin!

here's my plot:

BrianMN · 08-01-2010, 05:33 PM

That's a good curve! I like how the power doesn't drop off at all on top!

IRL-MN · 08-01-2010, 07:46 PM

Great pics as always Martin!

Are you happy with what your E36 put down Art? Or have you some more plans for it?

I am happy enough. I mean it's never going to see a drag strip or track, and considering it came from the factory with 240hp at the crank, 365hp at the wheels with that flat tq curve is a nice improvement. A turbo would allow for higher numbers, for sure, but for the sheer pleasure of driving, this platform delivers in spades - I've entered the Goldilocks zone, it's just right

ajvee · 08-01-2010, 10:19 PM

Great meeting and chatting with you guys!

MnM3 - Thank you so much letting me drive your M3. The car is a beauty.

I've decided to scrap this crappy exhaust and put on my stock one for now. The design and fit are just too crappy for me to dealt with. I've learned a good lesson about quality parts.
