Dyno in BRR Area
What shops in the Lynchburg/Roanoke area have a chassis dyno for rent?
I am looking for some base lines for my new race motor, and to perform some timing/fuel tuning. Do all, or most dyno shops have a wide band O2 to be used for tuning?

Dryft Motorsports in Harrisonburg has one. Mention that I sent you and they'll probably hook you up a little.
There's also Coletrane in Pulaski, VA. This is where some of the real hardcore power guys from CCVT go to tune their cars. I've never been, but he'll definitely know Jeff Taylor with the turbo V8 240sx if you mention him

Let me know when you decide to go. I live 5 mins from the dyno and can record your runs for video.
(Ill probably know when you go anyways.)

Sounds good. I have my suspension off right now while I get ready for Dixie. Let me know when your going, if I have it back together I would like to go. I was thinking of the one at Westlake. It is much closer, but I will need to go by and see what they charge and what hours are available.

Re: Dyno in BRR Area
I went to DynoTest in Danville today, and used their Dyno to tune the race motor. From the baseline of where we started,
82 hp, 82 lbs torque, we ended up with 100 hp, and 119 lbs torque. All from changing the fuel pressure and advancing the timing. Over the past few weeks I removed the factory vacuum fuel pressure regulator, and added an aftermarket one, and replaced the fuel pump with a high pressure one. This provided me with fuel pressure higher than the max 38 psi of the factory pump and regulator.

Re: Dyno in BRR Area
At least your torque curve is rather linear from 2300-4500ish. Not to bad, what car is this in?

Re: Dyno in BRR Area
That's a pretty significant change Todd - 22% increase in hp, 45% increase in torque! Should feel like a completely new car at the track.tac911t wrote:From the baseline of where we started, 82 hp, 82 lbs torque, we ended up with 100 hp, and 119 lbs torque.
Enjoy!

I hope it is a different car, I have the engine builders son (Volvo), and a red 320I to beat on Sunday!!Chiketkd wrote: Should feel like a completely new car at the track.
I have been able to qualify in front of the BMW, but have always finished behind him.
