If anyone's interested, the dyno will be open starting at 11am on December 3rd at DynoTune's shop on West Broad Street (http://www.dynotunemotorsports.com). It will be $75 for 3 runs. Alternatively, you can schedule an hour of dyno time for $100, unlimited runs (must be prepaid, but you can schedule what hour you want). I'll supply the high horsepower trophies and hotdogs (donations accepted for the hotdogs :)). Please email or PM me if you want to run.

brandon.

Of course you schedule it when I have something else to do..... [dummy]

Sign me up!!! Got lots of work to do between now and then, though!!

Put those chargers to any use yet, Brandon?? Is the 40 still stuck??

Chris

The 4 chargers have morphed into 2 mega-chargers. It's a 35/40 with a 14cm2 housing. Just tight enough to spool reeeeeeeeeally well. I still need to have it balanced, that will push the price for these twins over the $500 mark. :D I'm trying my hand at Autocad so we can use a friend's plasma table to make perfect flanges. Mmmm... flanges.

More on the dyno day - Howard @ Dynotune says it's a go for the 3rd. $75 for 3 runs or rent the dyno for an hour for $100/hr. He'll even sponsor the tropies!

Remember to bring your chairs, coolers and coats!

brandon.

Hey Brandon you can count me in, and my turd of a truck!!!!!
I am putting in for the day off now,LOL. Let me know if you need any help.
I am trying to get the 12vchevydually to show up, but I am not shure if it will
happen. I wouldn't mind seeing what the old first gen can put down.

We're gonna limit the size of trucks we put on the dyno... The owners have requested < 7000# trucks, but said they'll make the decision the day of the dyno upon inspecting the individual trucks.

brandon.

what are you trying to say,LOL
I think the 12vchevydually only weights 7,100lbs and thats with the dualls, so I am shure it can get down to a fighting weight of 7,000lbs.

That's good. I forgot those were lighter. Dodge quad cab duallys with flat beds push the limit.

brandon.

yeah maybe we can find Chris a plase too drop a tractor or 3 off his flatbed,LOL.

Dodge QC LB singles push the 7000 limit... duallys should be way past..... why the limit for the dyno?

Found empty curb weight for above mentioned truck as 6787 lbs according to dodgeram.org.....

Brandon..
Something to think on for you,
IF the shop is willing to rent by the hour then you may find it easier to just rent the shop by the hour for the day instead of paying for individual pulls.When we do our shows,the shop we use average just under 6 trucks per hour on a 3 pull run.This past weekend we did 38 on Saturday(started at 9 am and finished at 4pm,with a hour lunch) and on Sunday we started at 9:15am and by Noon we had 20 trucks done,after lunch we did 15 more from 1pm to 3:30 pm when we finished.If you do the math you will see what I mean.

With your shop adding a weight limit of 7,000lbs they will eliminate all trucks except shortbeds and the 1998 and back ext cabs.1998 and up quads are tipping the scales at shipping weight near 7,000 and if the owner has a full tank of fuel and his normal items inside he will be over.It will also eliminate all duallys from dynoing.Its their shop and you have to abide by their rules but I can not see why they want to limit the trucks weight.Our shows we run all,including duallys and have no issues.The one thing we do though is have the dually owners remove their outside tires as it allows for easier lining up on the jet wheels.

Hope this helps some and if work eliminates their mandatory 6th day I may come out for this as I need to trip into Thornville anyway for some items.I may make a long weekend of it......Andy

Cool! Thanks Andy! They were on me last time since someone who was well over 8k bent their loading ramps. This is a mobile dyno so it takes a bit longer to strap down and setup. They were at the Charity Pull in New Lex on the 8th and ran about 3 trucks an hour in the rain.

It basically started off being 6-8 of my friends who wanted to get on the rollers and I figured I'd announce it here to see if anyone else wanted to come. Howard did ask me if I wanted to rent by the hour and handle the money, but I didn't want that hassle. I'm shooting for a more relaxed, sit down and chat atmosphere instead of a frantic dyno day.

We'd love to have you attend the event, hopefully the weather cooperates.

brandon.

I remember the truck that bent the ramps...F350 Crew Cab 6.0, with a toolbox and probably 200+ gallons of fuel in the bed!

Either that, or it was me[whistle]. I weighed just under 8K at the time, now it's heavier [eyecrazy]. I really would hate to take off the flatbed to dyno, but if I get to install all the stuff sitting here for it, I WILL!! I also have a low range now so it will be easier to back up the ramps, too!

Brandon, where'd you find a 14cm housing?? I also may need some flanges sometime too. On for a B2 inlet flange, and an HX35 non-wastegated outlet. I bought another turbo:D:D HX35 w/60mm wheel and 14cm non-gated housing. If I can't spool the 40, I'll build it so this will fit!!

Chris

That's the truck! Claimed to have 700hp. Dynoed just shy of 337hp if I remember right. [laugh]

I got the 14 housing from you. It was on the locked up 35. We just cut the b2 flanges tonight. Plasma tables are cool! I have the files for it, he said we can make more anytime we want. 1/2" steel since I didn't want the flange to warp!

The dyno is still on! Trophies should be ordered this week.

brandon.

brandon.

WHAT!!!!!!!! [duhhh] [roll] [verymad] [director]

Son of a [tapdshut] ! You guys got a heck of a deal, now didn't you!!

Oh Well, guess I should check the stuff I throw away better next time, shouldn't I??

BTW, I think that ford might have made ~375hp! I was [verymad] cause I was low HP, but I had him by about 150 ft lb [guitar] !
Chris

I may be interested in coming out if the weather isn't to bad. Keep us Dually owners informed if we can or can't get on the dyno.

Fred

Let me holler at the dyno owner again to see what we can dyno.

brandon.

The weight limit will be roughly 7000, however, the dyno operators will have the final decision on Dec 3rd. Since we've run CC duallys on their dyno before, you should be good to go unless you happen to have 300 extra gallons of fuel in the bed.

brandon.

7000 [eyecrazy] Are they going to have a scale there?

No scale, but if your truck starts bending the ramp when they back it on, I'm sure they'll have second thoughts. I don't think they'll enforce it, but I wanted people be aware since they were worried last time.

brandon.

I will check to see if I can attend that day or not. I would love to get my truck on the rollers to see what it actually has.

I'm curious how many of you want to dyno. My truck's not going to be ready by the 3rd, so that's one less.

The trophies were ordered today, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place highest horsepower will win trophies.

brandon.

Brandon...lets get crackin' on mine, and I'll be there!!

Here's my list of Parts:
913 Pump
HX40/B2 Twins
ATS Manifold with Piers External Gate
ARP Studs
New Radiator
Probably will get a set of Silicone Hoses
Lasered out 370's (SMOKE PIG TIME:D:D)

Gotta find time!
Chris

I've been up 'til 4-5am all week long with these:

Is that a hood mock-up I see in the bottome picture?? You've really though this stuff out, haven't you??

Chris

Look what came today! (trophies)

brandon.

What are the trophies for?? (Categories)

Chris

Highest horsepower, run what you brung. First, second and third place.

brnadon.

I will put my truck on the rollers,as long as too many people don't laugh and point there fingers at me,LOL. I am going too be the lowest HP truck there I haven't even turned the fuel screw on the old truck,Anyway i would really like to get a baseline on the truck. Anything over 100hp and i will be happy. I just hope the guy in last dosen't have to do anything crazy.LOL

So who's going to make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be there! Not sure what kind of numbers I can put down.

I could do 500+ I think, but not enough time to bolt parts on this week. I'm thinkin' 400 should be easy though. Should have plenty on fuel, but a bit low on air.

Anybody have some DV's I can run...need something bigger than 181's!!!!:D:D:D I need to call tomorrow and see if I can have a set of laser cuts here by Friday!

Chris

my twins should be running by wed.!! :D but i'll probly break something before Sat. and not be able to dyno knowing my luck! Guess I'll have to drive resposibly!

Did you get the 35/40 fixed...or do I need to bring you the extra one I have to run??

Didn't know you were on the boards Lavon!
Chris

Am i just missing this or what time is everyone gonna meet up there?
I am trying to work out my work schedule.

Yea, im in..... It will have to be with the econo box since fuel is so expensive.... I hope to put down 27hp

Let me know...I'll still be working on mine trying to get more fuel, gauges, and a bit more air into it. No time for twins this time around:(

Chris

Just got back from down south and called the shop thats got my turbo and they said the part that was supposed to come this morn didn't come until right before they closed so he said he has everything in his hands he just has to make sure its balanced properly and it should be ready in the forenoon!! I should be (once again) able to have it together by tomorrow nite!

LaMiller, if you need anyhelp let me know, i will be in the shop all day tomm. in London.


Josh

I think we'll be ready if the oil is drained out of the intercooler in time. [yuk] I'm curious what the turbo guy says about why the seal failed??

brandon.

hey signature what size turbo are you running, i might let you borrow my dv's.

If the weather isn't cooperating then what is the next step? Can it be held inside or not? Not that we can trust the weatherman but last I saw they were talking snow on Saturday afternoon.

What's wrong with snow ya pansey??? Last dyno day it POURED DOWN rain on us, then all of a sudden, nothing:confused:

I'll let Brandon comment on the "Weather" Date plans, I'm not sure if there even are any:)

Chris:D

There's a chance for snow Saturday, but I don't think it's anything to worry about. If it gets nasty, we can wait in the shop. BTW, Brian is opening the shop to us. We'll have a nice place to gather indoors and warm up.

brandon.

Sweet:D

Chris

BTW, Brandon...call me if Lavon needs a turbo. I'm installing my new radio tonight, and the bigger injectors and the B1 tomorrow. Unless you guys want to help do a twin install before Saturday morning:D:D

Guys can you tell me what this loud whirring noise is under my hood?? :D :D These things make me smile!! All I can say is ooh yeeah!! I was building around 55psi for the average but i pegged my 60psi gauge a few times and they spool really quick!! needless to say i'm happy! Hopefully my output shaft last till Sat
-Lavon

We thought of something else after buying hotdogs tonight... If you want to bring a meat product for yourself, we'll be happy to grill it! :) There's also rumored to be fresh, homemade cinnamon rolls available for purchase.

brandon.

Glad you like them...I need to take a ride Saturday it sounds like:D I think I'll be kicking myself for not using them myself, won't I??:D Oh Well, mine are bigger!! [duhhh]

Chris

So how did it go? I wasn't able to make it up today, unfortunately, but want to hear some results! :D

Chris

Seemed to go well..... Im sure brandon will be on here later with some numbers and i will get some video up once i get to the studio to get it caputred and online (eta: monday afternoon)..... We had fun....

Lots of fun!!! Thanks to everyone for showing up on such a cold day. I also need to thank Brian and Howard for working out in the cold all day and sponsoring the trophies. Thanks to Herman Kramer from Gingrich's CleanBurn for sponsoring the outdoor heater. The only thing left is to figure out how to pay Lavon's mom for the 140 cinnamon rolls we ate. The tip jar only had $8 in it. PM me if you want to paypal her money.

Brandon, Thank you. I didnt see the tip jar.... I have plenty of video (400 gb worth [duhhh] ) that I am going to edit down and make into mpegs.... I may see if I can get you to host some of that for me, as I do not think I will be able to make enough room for it...

For now, i have the still frame(s) of the day right here:

http://home.fuse.net/tgiesse/dyno/lavon55psi.JPG
This is Lavon's truck on it's second run.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone, I had a great time. Brian and Howard went out of there way to make it a great day for us. And also i met my goal of being the lowest HP truck there, oh well i was happy with what it put down.

I BEAT A FORD!!:D:D:D:D:D

Kevin made 495?? I thought it wouldn't make more than 480:confused:

I need to send you some money...I forgot to leave a donation!

I'll can't forget the second run when the power went from 254/657 to 359/856. Everyone went NUTS trying to figure out what I did...I love the valet switch.

April sounds good...hopefully I'll have some more power by then:D

Chris

I was Just wondering if anyone happened to get a picture of my old Turd up there, even though it wasn't anything too watch? I will be sending some fellow DTR members some picture's I took of there truck, should have them to you all tomm.

I think I did...let me check!!

Chris

Me Like...but I made 857 ft lbs, not 587 Thank you very much:D:D

J/K Trey. Looks Great!!
Chris

Seriously though, fix it, I mean it:D:D

sorry... i may have done that to someone else too... let me know if you catch any more.... i was typing in a hurry.... (which may also be evident by the lack of effort put into the page design...... [duhhh])

If you have media or photos, let me know and I'll post them on my site.

brandon.

Brandon, you can take all of the ones that i have posted there. http://home.fuse.net/tgiesse/dyno/images/ is the image directory and there are a couple more in there if you want to take them. I will have some video finsihed up later on, just let me know how you want them compressed. They are 30mbps DV-AVI right now [duhhh].

My Graph and Videos (http://www.mayerfarmequipment.com/chris/chris-dyno.html)

Here are my videos and dyno graph...they are pretty large, but have fun!!

Chris

Had a great time . Left at 2:00 for a wedding :mad: next time ill run the rollers.Great job !!! :D :D :D

:) ??? How wide of a tire can fit on the rollers ? I got 15.5 wide if to big I CAN COME STOCK. :)

There was about 0.5" over the edge of the roller on each side of a 13.5 tire. The 12.5" tire with stock backspacing had about 1" extra. I suspect the 15.5" will be a little too wide, but we can measure on the ground and see what we need the next time. There was an extra set of wheels there, there's no need to change them before you come out.

The good thing about the April 15th is that we'll have plenty of time to get vendors lined up for the door prizes and concessions. :) Who likes FREE things?

Cool Ill Be There In April. :d :d Thanks Farmer

I'll be there too...with TWINS:D:D

Hopefully with more fuel too:)

Chris

Hmmm anyone laugh at a stock 05 getting on the rollers :confused:

Nope...just don't laugh at my beat up old '95 SPANKIN' your 05:D

Seriously though, I'M LOVING THESE TWINS!!!!

Chris

Uh Chris, I don't know if anyone told you...

Those are small twins. You need to put the LARGE chargers on. Then lay her on the dyno.

LOL Trey,

If you need a large set of 'chargers built, just ask. :) We learned a lot of things from Lavon's truck and should do another couple of sets while we're still in the mood. It's time to start on the 6-speed golf cart... [laugh]

brandon.

HaHaHa....:P:P

If I don't get more fuel, I don't need bigger chargers!!! These things are enough to lift the head anyway!

I keep telling myself..."60lbs is NOT fun, 60lbs is NOT fun, 60lbs is NOT fun!:)" But it iiiisss soooo much FUN!!!!! [guitar]

BTW Brandon...if you want these for your new toy, just ask, I won't laugh too hard!

Chris

I need more fuel before I can even think about something like that.... [duhhh]

Will take donations of turbos, injectors, governor springs, and anything else people might want rid of :D

Also looking for a Snow Performance water injection system to look at... trying to reinvent the wheel here....
