we are going to make you will sign up if there is space, so we can have an official "club" haha


and yesterday i did a few 3rd gear runs to make sure my car wont blow up on the dyno. ive been staying out of boost in higher gears for a long time due to boost creep problems, but had no problems yesterday.. pretty steady at 8psi. maybe cause its hotter out, less dense air.

but for some reason, its running really lean for the amount of fuel going in. i have 750cc pri, 1000cc sec injectors, and i was able to get the afr in boost down to mid 11's with only ~15% subtracted from the stock map!

anyway, im looking forward to seeing what power it makes on the stock turbo. im thinking it will make somewhere around 200-220whp as it is now. Then im sending it off for BNR stage 3, ill have some nice before and after results

Just a reminder:

* 5 car minimum per team (if a team shows up with less, they will all be
grouped into the "I have no friends" team)
* 2 runs each up to 25 cars, if over 25 registered, 1 run
* Highest pull out of 2 pulls
* NO TUNING!
* No wideband hookup
* No disclosure of hp numbers on individual basis, only team averages will be announced
* Winning team will win a trophy with name plate engraved. (looking to do this semi-annually.) Saturday will start at 9:00AM for registration, first pull will be 9:30
* Order on dyno will be posted at 9:30. (Keep in mind, coolest air will be in the morning)
* If you register online and are not present by 10:00AM, you will not be able to participate for your team.
* If you or a friend show up and have not registered, there will be a
will-call for any open spots due to no shows. Will-call registration starts
at 9:50.
* If you are called and not present within 10 minutes, your entry is revoked.
* Bring drinks, ice, food, girls, music, RC cars, whatever you like for the
day.
* Winning team will be announced at the end of the event.

P.S. We will get our dyno figures individually per a later post from the host.

See you guys there!

Thanks for coming

I wanna thank everyone from RX-7 club that could make it. It started out a little rough with the Mustang lighting his tires up on the dyno too many times, then the blue Supra, but eventually, it started rolling a little more smoothly.

DJ, after thinking about it, you were the first guy there that day and one of the last to run, so I apologize for that. I am EXTREMELY impressed that 12A put out that much power! Absolutely MINT condition of a car if no one else has seen this.

Toby, once you get the AFR pinned down, you'll be where you wanna be, but hey, don't listen to me, I ran less than an 8.0 on the dyno.

I guess when we get back together to run this event 6 months or so out from now, I'll have to have mine tuned a little better than just regular street tuning. Who would have thought the load on the dyno would be THAT drastic of a difference. Oh well, I have a lot of work ahead of me in 6 months.

Thank you again to everyone that could make it down. I think it went fairly well, and the best part is, it can only get better next time.
