sad to say i basically ran into the same problem as todd, tim assumed a map he created would work and obviously it wasn't even close. i am curious as to why the guy driving my car on the dyno did a second run, because he must have seen the AF hit 14+ up top, that kind of pissed me off..

tim put the stock map back in, but the laptop says I am only making 5.2 psi (gauge says about the same thing - .45 BAR) so I need to mess with the blow off valve and if there is no resolution there, I am going to figure out how to pressurize the entire system and find any leaky couplers. should make for a fun weekend project. lots of troubleshooting.. nothing too major (knock on wood). hopefully i don't have any defective parts, if i do, vortech really needs a checking process before they send this stuff out.

 

yeh i dont know why he did it either.
hopefully you will get things worked out soon

 

sounds like everyone had a good time there; I am sorry that I missed it!

 

I had a great time at Dyno Day yesterday. Thanks for the invite... I've never seen a dyno like that before... very cool... a fun day in general.

It was also nice to put names and screen names to faces and actual people... found out a few interesting things... yes, Finiti is really tall... no TurboMaxima doesn't really weigh 400 pounds...

And to follow everything up, Papa Pasta treated everyone to lunch! It just doesn't get better than that! Thank you, Papa Pasta. Hopefully we'll have another event (minus hurricane) and you can attend.

I did have my trusty camera with me and managed to take a few pictures. I see that I am too slow to post these, so I'll try to post some that Finiti didn't already post.



Here's a shot of several G35s lined up in the front of the Next Level Performance Center.




A gorgeous G...




...and a gorgeous Z (I believe this belongs to Hector).




Hmm... One car looks out of place here...




Here the Head Mechanic of Next Level gets a Z ready for dynoing...




Todd's car gets set for a run...




I believe this is TurboMaxima's G after a run.




Here you can see Jason explaining that a lawsuit will follow if his car does not make at least five more horsepower than Todd's...




The dynoing is winding down... Ian indicates that it was a peaceful day and that everyone had fun...




Here's a final shot of all the G's that went to lunch after Dyno Day. (Thanks again Papa Pasta) From left to right: Daniel, Ryan, Todd, Jason, Ian, Sean, and me (John).

 

Thanks for everyone who set it up. All I had to do is showup, mingle and get free lunch. That's a succesful event if you ask me. Thanks Papa, for the lunch. Sorry I had to bolt so quick at lunch. I wish I would have made that last picture that was posted. Ian, you gotta post up all the info on the dynos. I never got to sit down and compare results. Thanks for everything guys.
Alan

 

Post them all up 'sans' mine.. that would be grrreat.

Orlando meets shouldn't be too hard to make, but I refuse to bring my car down unless I have some wheels or something to show off. It was good to meet a bunch of you as well. And I don't see myself ever driving my car to tampa again, ever.

 

yes yes fun times

lunch was good and thank you geepasta for the lunch

ryan where are the pic when we were on the way to wes's new house

 

Finiti35,

A goal, Great friendship, Good food. Yes, Life is good!! . What's up with all the baggy short's? There is some talk about a get together later this year at Disney world.
I can do this. Your all a great group and with some hard work and some time off I will be the lucky one, When I get to know you all. The cars in the pictures look great. I ended up having a productive weekend. Papa Pasta

 

I've sent out all the dyno files to everyone who has dynoed. If you have not received them, please e-mail me at:

Demonteverde@gmail.com

If anyone can figure out how to show the A/F ratio chart, please tell me.

Also, I forgot to thank Gee Pasta for dinner/lunch. I had forgotten that I had eaten anything due to "somebody" stealing all of my chicken fingers! Anywayz, Dennis, thank you again for supporting our club.

 

cough new fi owners cough cough

 

I'm not gonna rat anyone out...thats not my style.....well maybe it is......it was Jose and only Jose.

 

he said new FI owners not future FI owner

 

Here are some random photos for you guys...















Lets notice Todd's lack of clear corners on this shot....

 

jason, I just looked at your dyno chart and noticed you only put down 336whp on that dyno? was something wrong, or was it just that the dyno was putting out awful numbers?

you still hitting 10psi?
