    To make up for not getting to go the the IAFS, I instead went to a local tuner shop and made some dyno runs on the Dynojet.

    This was the first time the car has been on a dyno, and I wasn't sure what to expect.

    Short answer: 223 at the wheels on the best run. Fuel/Air is just about perfect. The car's in great tune.

    Made 4 runs, ambient temp was in the mid 50s so I'm sure that helped. Car is stock with a Stebro test pipe. It even has a stock air filter.

    First run was a 217.8, second showed 221.7, third 217.9, 4th was 223.0

    My buddy ran his modified 2nd gen MR2 turbo after me, ran a 197, then 202 with new plugs. Then the car literally blew chunks of black stuff out the tailpipe. Apparently it had not been driven hard for a while. After that, the next two runs were 219 and 217.

    Pics and scans of the actual dyno run output will be posted this evening.

    What shop was this? I was going to dyno the Integra at a shop in Dallas last weekend (3 runs for $40.00) but instead went to the rally event in Salem, MO.

    Very cool.

    I take it you would recommend this place for our club dyno day?

    How did they get the air/fuel? Something in the exhaust ends?

    It's a little place run by a friend-of-a-friend. The place is call ATS Racing (http://www.atsracing.net) and a guy named Aaron Bunch co-owns it. The main focus of the shop is Japanese hotrods. There's nothing fancy about the shop, but they seem to know their stuff when it comes to forced induction motors. They had a 350Z in there getting a new set of headers -- apparently the first such mod in the area. Aaron has a 500HP MR2 (!) that Bob Norwood helped him set up.

    It cost me $45 for 3 runs with fuel/air. They were having some sensor problems with the dynojet so a 4th run was necessary. The F/A sensor just goes in the tailpipe. The place does have dyno days, they had one last week but I didn't know about it. When I wandered in on Wednesday and asked about dynoing, they were more than happy to open up on Saturday to run the car and a few others. They're good people there, serious car enthusiasts.

    Tilman, That is the place is was speaking about. They were hosting a Dallasimport.com dyno day event. Many Hondas, Acuras, Toyotas, Subarus, etc.. showed up to this. From what I understand, is one of the best tuning shops in Lewisville. I was going to a place in Arlington (USA MOTOSPORTS) but they want $150.00 for use of their dyno. Thanks for the link.

    Hey Will

    There's a dyno day at a Kwik Kar Lube in Richardson tomorrow. Info is at http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?threadid=274382

    Just in case you were still looking for one. I don't know anything about these guys.


    Just a note on ATS, the 'normal price' is $75 for 3 runs, but I think that most places like this routinely discount that price.

    This data indicates that the dyno, this day on this car, has about a 1.5% margine for error

    220.1 = Average( 217.8, 221.7, 217.9, 223 )

    220.1 - 217.8 = 2.3 = -1.04%
    223.0 - 220.1 = 2.9 = +1.32%

    error range 2.36% or +/- 1.18%

    Minor correction: my NISMO headers have been in my 350 since last June. :)

    Rob: A/F is measured by sticking a wideband o2 sensor in the exhaust tip (the quick and dirty way). However, Rotary Performance plugged a wideband o2 sensor in my second o2 bung (the OBD-II cat efficiency o2 bung).
