We are in the process of setting up a dyno day for all the RX-7 and RX-8's in the DFW area. We've gotten the ok to use the dyno at Rotary Performance in Garland. We just need to pin down the day. So, look for more info soon (ie. date and cost).

Good deal. I will be doing my clutch in the next 2 weeks so hopefully I'll be good to go.

 

Any updates yet?

 

My clutch is done!

 

I'll try to get some more info.

 

Any news on dates?

 

sticky this, this could be a good event if we get it organized

 

I'm still waiting on info from Tim. He has been real busy lately with work.

how about going to a different place ?
i can see if i can set up alamo autosport if you guys agree

 

disagree

 

Either way, its an excuse for me to break something

 

I will be a good sport and show to this event.

 

$10 Says you won't. Any takers? Just kidding

GsrSol: disagree


...lol...Why? They're the most central location right in the middle of Arlington!
If RP stays "too busy", it should be given consideration if a Forum member has an inside line there....

 

just let me know if you guys want and i'll set up a date, but make it soon cuz im leaving to sydney on the 8th of june.

 

Yeah, I can help there too.
If you guys are interested, I can set it up there.

I know Alamo is hosting a huge dyno day tomorrow, so I plan on attending. They are charging like $40-50 for 3 runs or something like that.
Also, they started carrying Microtech and Wolf 3D ecus, and I am in need of one, so I will be talking to them about that. They always have the Autronic and AEM ecus in stock, but I am leaning towards the Microtech. I'd rather put an AEM on the car, but cannot afford it:-(

 

Most central location just happens to be right down the street from you?

You guys can set it up where ever you would like. Just letting you know that I have a personal issue with Alamo from back in the day and will not be attending if it's held there.

 

/\ I will not be there if it is at Alamo as well.

 

I dunno anything bad about Alamo..

but there's also ATS Racing up in Denton... they've held a couple dyno days for the Miata crowd....

 

I work at Alamo Autosports, actually I am in charge of tuning a lot of the cars there.

About the dyno day, best date in June would be Satuday, June 18th. Three pulls will cost $40, no air/fuel. We can organize the dyno from 9am-3pm, depending on how many cars will register for the dyno day.
I would really like to setup the whole event. If know exactly how many people will show up, we can do something about food and drinks.

More on Alamo Autosports: we are one of the oldest and most established shops in the DFW metroplex. We have done mostly piston engines, but we have several big rotary projects behind our back. Just recently we tuned an FB (1stgen's car) with 13B-REW, street port, T72 turbo, and Microtech. The car put down 440rwhp, with boost controller not working right( spike at 14psi and fall to 11psi, old HKS EVC 3). Right now we are working on a 13B-RE engine, full bridge port, race exhaust ports, Garrett GT42 turbo, and Microtech. Also we have done a bunch of 400-500whp Evos, one RB26dett powered Nissan 240sx, turbo Miatas, Proteges, 350zs, and many more

About the dyno day: please pm me what time you would like to attend, and what car you have. I will post a list with the people that registered, and I will be updating the list.

About the guys at ATS racing, they are our friends. We go to dinner together :-)

 

im down for where ever, my car will be tuned prior to the dyno day, going will be for kicks and handshakes.

ERic.

 

The dyno day in Richardson was $40, three pulls with an A/F readout...so I wouldn't go for a dyno day that didn't match those guys. They prove it IS possible to do it and make money. No point in being greedy.

'Nuff said...

 

heh, well if you want to compare costs... I got 3 pulls with a/f at QuickCar on Jupiter. And that's just their standard rate... no "dyno day" special....

A/F is good

 

The deal we've had with Rotary Performance was that any dyno day we ran was a fund raiser for the club. If another shop is willing to do the same I'd certainly like to talk with them.

 

I will talk to Brice and let you know what he says...
