Diesel dyno day this Saturday (19th April) in Telford

Hi guys,

Just a heads up for any diesel heads who may be free this Saturday. We're having a rolling road day on Saturday in Telford at Monster Tuning on their new Maha dyno.

(Audi A4 2.7 TDI with NOS and water meth at last years RR day in Leeds)

3 runs with print out is £20 and there will be a BBQ, beers for passengers and prizes given away for Biggest BHP, Most Torque and Crowd Pleaser.

If you're interested you can find more info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/415473485256833/

Cheers!

It's great value yeah. Monster Tuning have just had a brand new Maha MSR500 dyno installed, so they're giving us a good price to help raise awareness of the new facility and let people know it's there.

Feel free to bring it along Peerzy. Although it's a 'diesel dyno day' we often have people come along who want to run their petrols as well, we just don't advertise it as such

Not bad is it? Hopefully get some decent power runs done

Only 20mins down the road from me, might pop down for a gander.

Good stuff, we'll have a burger ready!

Maha pride themselves on producing the same results no matter which dyno you run your car on. For example the owner of Monster tuning ran his new Range Rover Sport on their dyno in Germany when he went over to look at them, and when his was installed the car made exactly the same bhp on the one in his shop.

That's close enough Task

Just pop down and run your car!

I'd come because it's only Telford, would be fun!

Hope to see you there then

Do they dyno automatics properly i.e. with the right corrections/settings?

They do indeed. One of the only dynos in the UK to run a 2014 Range Rover Sport.

MrSix - I'll pop in on my way through to Stoke!

Good stuff! There's a burger on the BBQ with your name on it!

Good to meet you too IanH, thanks for coming down.
If you guys do have a RR day there, there's TONS of space to park (even more round front where we didn't go - 100m x 20m totally free).

Jamie's Golf was pretty funny, his water meth nozzle blew out on the third run and he subsequently found out it hadn't been working at all so his inlet temps got pretty crazy! I think his final figure was 291bhp and 450+ lbft.
It'll be interesting to see what it runs with his meth kit back on, because last dyno day I saw him at where it had just been installed he made over 300bhp. He could do with a bigger turbo in all fairness, there's enough fuel there for another 50bhp.

Not bad figures when you can drive home at 75 and average 55 to the gallon

Silly diesels eh!!

Horses for courses mate

I still love petrols too, my old MR2 was the antithesis of my Leon and I had a hoot driving that even if it wasn't as quick. If we all liked the same thing it'd be a boring world to live in!

People were given dyno print outs, but I'm not sure if they've been uploaded yet. Will hunt them down.

Good find, that's my mate Matt's graph. I'd not seen that, it is odd that the graph only goes to 5k :/

MrSix · 23 Apr 2014 at 12:08

Yeah I'm not much for wheel figures unless it's for massive power cars when you can say "Even at the wheels it's making over XXXbhp!".

One thing I did notice about the Maha dyno is that they seem to load the cars up harder than other dynos - did you find that Gibbo?

Gibbo said:
What do you mean by load the car up harder? You mean because the car turns two rollers?

The resistance on the rollers seemed to be higher than other dynos I've seen cars run on, so the pulls took probably 30-40% longer than on say a dyno dynamics unit. Wasn't sure if it was a way to get better readings or just a characteristic of the Maha dynos, having never seen one prior.
