Where is a good Dyno shop?

[acancelledcz]

Looking for a dyno shop near southern CT or west long island or even northern jersy range. Would like to have one that has done SRT4 or can help with tuning while on the dyno. I know of a few, just looking for one that's more SRT-4 friendly...help pls

[acancelledcz]

No one has ever gone to the dyno?

[vypurr]

Revitup in Philadelphia specializes in SRTs and they have a Dyno.

The dude is from Stamford, CT. Doubt he's gonna take a 2 1/2 hr drive.

[vypurr]

Who knows? Matt drives 8 hrs to go to Aviation! lol

[zujko]

I personally have not been there but heard it was a good dyno.

in bristol, ct

If your gonna go that far up for a dyno, xxtuning in E. Hartford as well has two dyno's. Only thing is I don't like either one of em :( One is a dyno pack and the other is a mustang dyno.

East side performance is in CT. somewhere i dont know exactly what town

[acancelledcz]

Thanks for the replies, guess i'm SOL of anything in close proximity...I should be getting w/i and stage 1 soon, looking for solid gains and want a good dyno tune...I'll probably end up going for a three hour drive some weekend...yea!

[MetsSFTF]

Theres a dyno in queens, right by the whitestone bridge, mapquest said about 30 minute drive from stamford, ct

just out of curiosity what are you tuning with..whats your set up?

[acancelledcz]

just out of curiosity what are you tuning with..whats your set up?

Kinetic WGA, AGP return line, Needswings DP, Dasmopar clamp, NGK's, and soon Stage 1 pcm and Devilsown W/I.

Boosting to 22psi+ falling to about 16psi.
Spark plugs gapped to .033 and MSD wires, stock coil.

Looking to dial in the clamp, then fuel pressure and W/I with -30 washer fluid, nearly a 40/60 meth to water.

She pulls hard right after warm-up right now, but the stock IC gets heatsoaked after a few pulls and timing is pulled, the w/i should take care of that. Have the AEM UEGO and Timing guage for my personal tuning, just looking to see how far over 300hp I am.

wow if you dont mind me commenting on your set up i would like to explain a few things to help you out

[acancelledcz]

Nope, I don't mind comments at all, the more knowledge the better. But, if it's about wasting money on a stage 1, it's because something is wrong with it (my stupidity to be later discussed once i'm sure it was my fault) and I have an 05 and i'm tired of the cels, even with the cheap fade mod and blah. And i know the MAP clamp should be at 4.2 volts and tuned from there, i just haven't had time to wire a voltmeter into the car and it's hard to look at three guages to tune, i usually have someone in the car yelling numbers to me, haha, poor boy tuning. If you have any other comments, feel free to voice them :band:

*My edit--I should add i have an UPP pipe and BOV and using no solenoids for vacuum expect the TIP, soon to be gone. AFR end around ~11.5 and no boost leaks.

ok ..i just dont know how some people feel about commenting on their set up..some people get very offended but anyway

s1 was a good mod
fuel return is also an excellent mod
ngk 4306 good mod
w/i damn good mod
map clamp horrible mod and heres why
a map clamp is only going to clamp voltage at one level.by clamping at one voltage you can only tune it conservatively at one point and no one knows exactly where in your powerband that will occur.
in other words lets say you are clamped at 4.2 v and at 4500 rpm you get a 11.8 afr,but at 5500 you are at 12.5 and climbing higher.obviously you can change the voltage to fatten it up but you will never get a "good" tune.
when i tune cars with emanages,dtecs or safcs the difference between adjustments from 4k to redline could be as much as 10%.this is the reason why i dont like map clamps nd i refuse to tune them.to me they are a true getto mod.with proper tuning you can easily achieve a very nice wide powerband instead of a very erratic one that will only spike peak hp briefly and never reach the cars potiental.map clamps are very cheap and they do somewhat get the job done but rather than investing into dyno tuning you would be much better spending a few more dollars and investing in a piggyback.its something that you can learn to tune yourself on the street and would be more beneficial.i can guarantee that if you get your mapclamp dyno tuned and then dump the clamp and go with a piggyback and retune it there would be stellar differences in your powerband.

[acancelledcz]

Completely agree on the map clamp, it was a cheap mod until something good came out, ie standalone. But i don't really want to dump that much into the car, so i was actually thinking along the lines of PT's autotune fuel controller, just kinda waiting until some user feedback comes back. I almost bought the dtec but i didn't want to have to buy the damn gameboy too..haha. Ghetto mod for sure, i'm also a follower of the "spring mod", a sucker for cheap mods. But for 30 bucks, i wouldn't mind swapping it out for something better, just kinda got it stop cels and gain a little control on the timing

[N2MB]

how much timing are you getting?

[acancelledcz]

on stock pcm, after a five minute warm-up, timing runs up to 30-31 ish, but after about 30 minutes of driving 80mph, when i floor it, it goes for about 1.5 seconds before *bang*, detonation and timing is brought to single digits...So, i can only WOT a few times before the car has to be driven normal. W/I should cure this problem because I'm too stubborn to turn the boost down until it arrives, so i'm just driving normal, probably saving money in speeding tickets, that's plus though.

If i'm not mistaken, stage 1 should give me a few more degrees of timing.

How about a 3" O2 housing?

[acancelledcz]

O i get it, I ask about an O2 housing install and i'm cut-off eh? hahahha :lol:

[N2MB]

no im sorry i was afk for a bit.

at idle normally you would run somewhere around 35-45 degrees of timing,under boost and a properly functioning set up you should expect to see somewhere around 20-24 degrees of timing.if you are overboosting the pcm will pull timing back to usually around 7 or 8 degrees.it does that because of 2 reasons,one you probably arent running the correct vacuum line set up,2 you are running more boostg than you think you are running.

as far as the 02 housing goes i charge 225 for 02 housings and yes they suck to install

Holy crap on the O2!!!!

No, my idle timing is of no concern to me, at redline with 16psi i get up near 30-31 degrees of timing, i'll try and video tape it if you want. I know I'm over boosting but my pcm has no way to detect it, the vac line behind the turbo is run straight to the wga. The other turbo nipple is capped. I have a map clamp installed to block the electrical signal. My boost source for the brake booster, fpr, and bov all come off the throttle body and i have a pt check valve in line on the pcv to keep boost. All my lines are capped and my shite works good, it's just with the high boost and heat, my intake charge is too hot, i get knock with 93 octane but with 94, i have no problems. It's a mild problem, just a little too much heat. I'll let you know the results after next weekend when i get my kit installed, should be shipped today or tomorrow.:beerchug:

haha lol you ever done one?

[pearltsi]

haha lol you ever done one?

Damn i gave Sp33d one hell of a deal then.

[acancelledcz]

haha lol you ever done one?

LOL, no, i haven't, but I've heard the horror stories. But also heard horror stories on the top heat shield, but I didn't have a problem with that one. I did have a problem getting that damn needswings dp to fit in the stock exhaust, i spent hours, opening the stock pipe to make it fit and beat the shit out of it, and still just barely got it on! So frustrating that was, i don't even want to bother with the 02 housing.:(
