Just a little FYI, I'm upgrading our Gallery software today to a Pro version. So pics will be up shortly. If you can, please hold off uploading anything from the event till I can make sure it's all good. Worst case, we might lose a few pics between the backups.

Yeah, Chad also made some really good numbers considering the engine was just broken in, the car was only running 5psi, and was running pretty lean up top. With some time on the dyno and tuning, I have no doubt the car will easily lay 300-350 down.

I'M OFFENDED!
That car was wild to watch. I could not believe that it threw down 245 without a blink on a rough tune. That car is going to be a monster when it's done and boosting 10psi.

Yep, if you ever need a rotary built for you, I highly recomend Pineapple racing. Rob builds outstanding motors.

To be honest I am probably not going to hook up the boost controller at all, at least not for the forseeable future. The car is making about all the power it will safely make on the injectors I have in it. And the power/torque curves are sex as it is, nice and smooooth. I only have the stock 550cc primaries and RCeng 750cc secondaries. Togeather, that is good for about 300 "crank" hp safely. I have no need to be able to claim a HP number or boast a boost level, I want reliable smooth power for the track. Further above 300HP my current turbo will be out of its efficiency range.

Also, anything above 300HP is going to start to become too much for my brakes and tires on the track and ill just start destorying parts, and burning the rubber off it with 225 tires. Or, ill never be able to keep the rear end from stepping out. Either way that could get really expensive, really fast. ;)

By the time they were able to make a full run with it on sat it they had it richened up so much that there was no way it was lean anywhere. But at first it was leaned out mid RPMs. Once the secondary injectors kicked in it settled out. Ive done some more tuning and got it pretty close to dialed in now. Another dyno visit and it should be ready to go spank some elises, evos, and STIs on the track. ;)

Wow, I just saw the white board numbers and my Ms3 outdid those numbers by a bit, although it was on a different dyno. Mine pulled 229hp/245tq on a Mustang dyno @ RS Motors. I do have a CAI.
Interesting.... I'm not trying to start controversy, just an observation.

edit: ...meh, my tq is down, oh well. who cares? jeff's pull at 260 something torque is pretty sweet!

Typically a Rustang dyno will read higher numbers than a Dyno Dynamics... The Dyno Dynamics are one of the lowest readings out there, but supposedly more accurate. On a side note, the shop could care less about what numbers people make. LSE is more based on tuning and having an accurate picture of how much power they are actually gaining through mods and tuning. LSE will be the first ones to say that if you want a big number to brag about, go elsewhere. LOL.

Word.
We own a dyno and sponser a track. Unfortunally we live in minnesota so using the track isn't as often as we'd like.
So the Dyno is used for tuning :). If we wanted something to help us sell parts, we'd purchase another brand of chassis dyno. We use it for accurate tuning and accurate comparisons, hince why we own a Dyno Dynamics. What I can troubleshoot in an enclosed environment is priceless.

I did a few dyno runs last year with almost the exact same setup at RS motors on thier mustang dyno. Nice dyno, but not up to par with LSEs setup.

Interesting side note, before my port and rebuild my FC put down 180 on the same boost turbo, exh, and puter.

Amazing what a fresh engine with a port job will do.

Yeah Chad and Seng, I was really diggin your cars. I have always been into the RX-7 and even worked on one or two. But, to see them lay numbers and hear the distinct tone was a blast. Thanks for showing up guys!

I'll admit, I think it would be a blast to own a Turbo II now. I thought every aspect of that car was nice and I'd love to own one.

torque #'s were more accurate, but most likely still low. the hp #'s were VERY low, LSE's dyno is very accurate pull to pull, but the numbers are going to be below other dynos because it is set up more for accuracy in TUNING. Ashly's MSP hit 130hp and my stock MSP hit 145 on Elite's dyno for instance.

It was cool to have all the mostly stock Mazdaspeed cars there. Since all the 6s put down roughly 210 all wheel and the 3s put down 220 fwhp it gave me a nice 2 wheel and 4 wheel correction factor for thier dyno to get a rough estimate of my own flywheel horsepower.

I enjoyed tuning your vehicle, how does it drive now compared to before?
Did you get my VM regarding the double charge issue?
