Laythor: don't forget to clean your air filter on Monday.
I'm actually quite excited to see Newcastle's car on the dyno. For those of you who don't know, he just got his engine replaced by Mazda and is scrammbling to put miles on the car to break it in. I imagine by the time we strap it down next weekend, he'll have somewhere around 900 - 1000 miles on the engine.
All his mods are going back on tomorrow.
What will a freshly built Mazda Reman put down????
We'll find out soon enough.
Jeff: I'm tempted to do the first pull without any of your AP maps and then see what we can squeeze out of it. He'll have a new AEM, BHR coils, and his HKS high flow cat back on. I could see him breaking the 200 whp mark as long as that engine wasn't built on a monday.

Got my new wires ordered. Sparkplugs arrived today. Just need some coils
easy I ordered the wires from the site 30 mins ago. Any idea as to when I can expect them to arrive?

I'd love to see a back-to-back dyno pulls with and without the AP.
Might be fun to do that with a "known quantity" like your car also.
Newcastle shouldn't worry too much about "breaking-in" his motor.
A rotary is broken-in the first time it gets up to temperature.

Jeff: yeah, I told him the Remans don't need much breaking in but he's playing it safe JUST to be sure.
Before and Afters would be tons of fun with my car and Tim's.
I'm probably not bringing the RX-8 on Saturday since we'll have such a full plate but I'm down to do it on Sunday.

T-shirt update:
All T-shirt sizes have been confirmed and the order is being placed tomorrow.
Reminder: Courtesy of BHR, T-shirts are being ordered for every car getting on the dyno and Ray is picking up the majority of the cost.
All you guys have to do is pay $10 and you'll be sporting the OFFICIAL 2010 Dyno Day Shirt!
If people don't show up or don't want their shirt (for some unexplainable reason), then we might sell that shirt to someone in attendance so Ray doesn't end up with a closet of these.

I'll ask Ray when I see him in a little bit. And let you know.
Also we could bring them with us on Friday before the Dyno Day. I was planning on doing some work in Dozers Driveway Friday night anyway. We could install them there.

since I'll have them in advance, I'll probably wash mine and be sporting it on Saturday.

Easy: we'll have to take two pics
one of the group on Saturday and another with the Sunday group.
As for what I do with the T-shirts before I deliver them to you guys: that's MY business and my business only.

When:
Location: :
Steve @ SR MotorCars has once again been gracious enough to give us full access to his entire shop for the weekend.
SR Motorcars is the official Dyno Shop for all of my Dyno Days as they have proven themselves an invaluable partner to this community.
SR MotorCars
115 E. Gardena Blvd
Gardena, CA 90248
(310) 516-1003
Google Map Directions
Day 1: The Overboosted Overlords take the stage!
Day 2: Battle of N/A RX-8's!
Sunday will feature a maximum of 15 cars on the dyno or until Steve kicks us out of his shop, whichever comes first. If more then 15 members sign up then priority will be given to AccessPORT users and non-AP users will follow based on who signed up first.
Compression Tests
Compression Tests will be performed on-site by the BHR Team for only $50 per car. This is MUCH cheaper then any other place out there.
Saturday:
RX OCHO
ZumnRX8
Red_Fox
Sunday:
Konig
mike [piston eater]
Volcomx31
Keep in mind that from the time we load the car on the dyno to the time we take it off could be 30-45 minutes so we will need to be as efficient as possible. The BHR team will be assisting to keep things in order on Sunday and will be making sure things move along smoothly.
Each person needs to make sure they are prepped and READY to get their car on the dyno at their allotted time slot.
We will have Donuts in the morning and be ordering a mountain of pizza for lunch so have some extra cash on you and we'll work right through lunch to keep this event moving.

Atilla: nope, Cesar wont' be doing it.
But I will be doing it with my new HD video recorder! Cesar hooked me up with his tripod and a few new lenses so it should be even better then last year's.
We'll be trying a different filming angle as well.
