Anyone planning a Dyno Day, or would like to go to one?

[rebel rebel]

I would like to attend a dyno day down south, but until Toyota have done the engine recall on my GT86 I can't do any mods. Maybe towards the end of the summer.

If the Dyno operators can safely run s car with a TMIc then I'm game.

Don't start that again.

What?! It's a real concern hahahaha

Shouldn't really be an issue bonnet up.

Eh?

How is having the bonnet up going to force air at over 100cfm into my tmic???

When your bonnet is up is your tmic blocked?

No, but it will.be missing it's scoop to direct and pressurise air and also it's ducting to direct said air directly into the fins. A basic fan setup won't even touch it as they are all made to direct air to the cars radiator.

Been on three Dynos.
Every time car overheated

So leave the bonnet down, let the front facing fan do it’s job - it’ll direct the airflow towards the front of the car.

Also - if you’re wanting “pressurized” air, the velocity will decrease

Tried that too. Car still overheats. And bats go sky high causing it to dump fuel and kill power

Well.... My car overheated on the last dyno day. First run was ok-ish, both runs after that power plummeted each time.

But that's not too say other dynos don't have better airflow without a TMIC redirect..

Buuuuut we really don't need to continue this debate. Diagro - there will be a choice of dynos again when I arrange later in the year. If you need to know which will support your car, how about you call around a few places and make some suggestions?

How about surrey rolling road.

I approached them already but haven't heard anything back just yet.

Now that place has a fan that looks like it would.be suitable. I bet that shifts some air!

 

[Chris1712]

Any updates on this? I also would like a baseline for my 35iS as I'm wondering if it's already remapped.

 

[Akagi]

Sorry I forgot about this! I have had the Volvo tuned now. Will have another look into it and see what dates surrey rolling road have available.

I was actually planning to start a thread this month.

Use this thread for some venue ideas, then I'll get a poll sorted for a voted for venue and we'll go from there.

OK that works. Preferably not Viezu again, I don't trust their dyno and the lack of converted printouts on the day was a bit of a joke.

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Viezu won't be an option this time

Look forward to another Dyno day this year, I'll be an attendee as per
