9th February 2008 - Hub dyno TDI Essex + mega meet. LETS BEAT Honda OC

[matt_mr2t]

I know it's early but could I get on early?
I only live around the corner from TDI so will be there before 9 happily.

I realised it's my neices birthday that day recently

[jonb-]

Shouldn't be a problem.

[matt_mr2t]

Cheers mate - your a star!
Looking quite forward to this, I'll hang around as long as I can before I have to shoot off to the neices.

Just an idea - as we're making this into a mag feature for MR2 only - should we all have a guess at what we're running prior to it so we can all look silly when it comes out below

[jonb-]

I'm thinking I'll see 300 @ fly if I sort my boost controller.

[matt_mr2t]

Do you know what figures they give out - IE do they calculate a fly figure?

Will power at the hubs generally be more than at the wheels?
IIRC I got about 230bhp at the wheels last time round.

It's funny - on the same RR I got roughly the same wheel figure twice but it gave me two different fly figures lol.

[jonb-]

As hub dynos take the wheels and tyres out of the equation they can be a fair bit more accurate, after all if want a few more BHP on a RR all you have to do is over inflate your tyres. Wheel weights have a factor in things too.

I'm fairly sure TDI will calculate the figure back to a flywheel. The machine they have is the most expensive money can buy so there's not much it can't do!

Sorry your car can't make it Ant but glad to be in now

Will be my car's first dyno since I've owned it - nearly 3 years

If I get a boost controller sorted I'd like to see 310-320 fwhp and 300 ft.lbs running a ct26 hybrid at 1.2 bar... disclaimer - if its all running 100%!!

[Moo]

I'm thinking I'll turn up on the day anyway, even if I'm still in the reserves by then, just in case there's a few no shows.

I'd really love to get a run as my previous figures on a Dastek dyno just before Christmas with limited mods sparked quite a debate on here. I'd be interested to see how they compare with a hub dyno reading

Car is at 3S right now having a CC conversion and will be running at little more boost than it was but just in case I get a run I will say for the records that I'm expecting to see 320 at the fly. Assuming the previous dyno was accurate

[Tiamat]

Just an idea - as we're making this into a mag feature for MR2 only - should we all have a guess at what we're running prior to it so we can all look silly when it comes out below

Well then I estimate 126 at the fly and 94 at the hubs
Would also hope for around 128 lb of torque
Also estimate around 105 db noise!

[Captain Vimes]

Can't believe I've only just spotted this!

I live about 5 minutes away and will DEFINATELY come along - space or not, but would be great to sqeeze in on the day as I've been meaning to get my supercharger dyno'd for ages

9am I believe Jon said?

[Mad-Mark-UK]

Thanks Matt

I might have to come just after the MOT then I dont want to miss my place, but should think its gonna take a few hours to get through the 10 of us so if I get there about 11 should be still in time.

[matt_mr2t]

It's a hub dyno so I should think it'll be a long old day tbh!

For any one going there's a bus around the corner that do awesome food.
I'll be glad to show any one where it is

[MR2EMO]

ill pop along b good 2 meet sum of ya finally

*Edited by Leeroy - you changed the list to an old version but didn't even add your name...?

Please try again!

[Moo]

Eh? What's happened to the list, it looks completely different to how it did a few posts ago!

[.::Ant::.]

Just a quick point, Neil (Juggernort) has sold his MR2 last year and is currently running around in a Scooby

So not sure whether one of the mods want to contact him to take him off the list?

[Antstarr]

Cant wait for this event...am I better off taking off my rear wheel spacers to improve my hub figures hahaha
