Time to get base numbers. Where to Dyno in ATL area? Dyno Day anyone?

IlChengis · 03-21-2010, 12:08 PM

Guys,
I want to get some bone stock numbers on her before I start messing around.

Can any of you recommend a specific dyno facility in the Atlanta area? What kind of dyno do they have? Why do you recommend them?

Lastly... who would be up for a dyno day? Let's organize something fun and get some useful numbers in the process!

Thoughts?

-Walter

JoosyJoos · 03-21-2010, 02:01 PM

Hey I'm up for a dyno day. I don't know where any good dynos are though... but lets get some people and make this happen. I need to know where my car is at before I tune it.

GregTheStig · 03-21-2010, 05:57 PM

If you guys are near Fayette County a place in Peachtree City has a DynoJet. They're called "Allspeed Auto Works".

NiVeDh · 03-21-2010, 06:12 PM

I'm down for a dyno day.

I've been to dyno days a few times there. Good people and nice clean shop.

If someone has the gumption to get up 5-10 people I bet they'd work up a sweet deal for everyone.

Dre01SS · 03-22-2010, 10:02 AM

Back in my LSX days, we'd often have get togethers at DynoLab (Marietta) on Thursday nights.
$50 for 3 Runs.

I'm down for a 100% stock - baseline run.

RON1X · 03-22-2010, 11:14 AM

im down for a dyno day as well

IlChengis · 03-22-2010, 01:07 PM

Cool, so far we have:

Me
JoosyJoos
NiVeDh
Dre01SS
ATL E92
GregTheStig(?)
Jean-Claude(?)

...and two suggestions for the place. Does anyone else have a suggestion for the location? I can do a poll when we know which shops we're looking at.

Anyone else?

Let's get this done before it gets too hot!

-Walter

GregTheStig · 03-22-2010, 06:50 PM

Well I'd be down for going, but I don't think I'd take a completely stock car on the dyno lol.
But depending on when it is I'd be there.

Jean-Claude... could you confirm if you're dynoing?

Any other suggestions for the location? As soon as we have a list of locations I'll start emailing/calling and getting a nice group price.

IlChengis · 03-24-2010, 08:58 AM

Ok guys, I got in touch with Arthur from DynoLab in Maretta and he responded very quickly:

Quote:

Hi Walter,
I usually have the groups/ clubs on Saturday mornings but that is not set in stone.
The group price is $50 per car for a 3 run session. If there are quick changes that can be made in less than 10 minutes between runs, that is permitted. This price does NOT include wideband air/fuel ratio recording.
I give everyone a nice glossy sheet that has a photo of the car on the top of the page and the graph of the power on the bottom of the page. If you want a Saturday date, that needs to be reserved about a month in advance. Some Saturdays are already scheduled.

If you have any other questions please call me. I am not a great typist.

Thanks,

Arthur Mulder
678 560 0692
DYNOLAB INC
1535 Rosewood Circle
Marietta, GA 30067-7409

I poked around their website and DynoLab seems like a nice place with friendly people. I personally can't do Saturday mornings (plus it would need to be booked a month in advance)... but according to this we can get a good deal on a Thursday evening without the need to book in advance.

Thoughts?

Let me know, let's make this happen.

Ciao,

-Walter

Dre01SS · 03-24-2010, 09:01 AM

Arthur runs a good business there, and his product is top notch. I can vouch for him as I took my LSX cars there multiple times, solo and with groups on the Thursday night runs.

Thanks for sharing Dre, I contacted them because of your earlier post. Let's see what happens.

scalbert · 03-24-2010, 10:11 AM

Been to Arthur's shop many times.

One also to consider is Injected Engineering in Kennesaw:

http://www.injectedengineering.com/index

Nice shop and a great fan that covers the majority of the frontal area and they claim can simulate 50 MPH.

My availability will depend on the date and time but woiuld certainly like to join in.

dtp3347 · 03-24-2010, 10:43 AM

I am definitely down for a dyno day. I still havent gotten a chance to dyno with methhhh

Chalk up another person - My roommate just picked up an e30 with a M50 engine in it. He'll probably do a run.

JoosyJoos · 03-25-2010, 04:58 PM

So are we gonna try to set a date within the next month or what kind of time frame are we looking at here?

Lets make this happen!

IlChengis · 03-26-2010, 11:42 AM

Guys,
I just got off the phone with Arthur from DynoLab.

Thursday nights walk-ins are welcome, but we might be unable to get all of our Bimmers strapped down depending on who else shows up, so he recommends to book one of the other days by appointments.

This upcoming Friday (April 2nd) he happens to have a clear schedule in the afternoon. To get 8-10 cars dynoed by 10pm we'd need to be there at 5pm.

I am down for next Friday @ 5pm. Who else can make it?

Please let me know asap so I can confirm with Arthur and book the evening.

-Walter

PS= Arthur says that if we bring tools and remove the engine covers (coil pack access) before the car gets on the dyno we'll save a lot of time.

scalbert · 03-26-2010, 11:50 AM

I would not be available on that Friday, or most Friday evenings.

RON1X · 03-26-2010, 02:12 PM

I just got my AE exhaust and plan to install it next weekend, as I can't this weekend

. I don't want to dyno until after I install it (I do realize it would be nice to have a baseline comparison, but just dropped some $ on the exhaust). Sorry guys
