Bugfest 07 - Dyno Day

[gonebuggy]

We better see you there man!

We'll have to find that thread with the guesses for how many HP my car will make, whoever was closest gets a brew on me.

I'll bring my video camera and try to get some half decent footage, i'll snap a few stills as well.

I've been on pat's case to come out too, but who knows
Said he doesnt really want to drive that far.

Greg, i'll be at your place bright and early saturday morning!

Cheers

Alex

Pat will come up with a million and 1 excuses. I already offered him my Envoy and open trailer if he would rather trailer it. He makes fun of me always trailering my cars, but at least I am always at the event!!!!

I always have the worst luck leading up to events.

Fishers Dyno day/Florida Bug Jam couple years ago. Put my car up on the Dyno here in Toronto and break a rocker shaft on the roller rockers. Thrash all night installing a new set of 1.4’s (non-roller) only to find out the pushrods are a little too long.

June Jitter bug last June, driving around the night before in Toronto, and smoke the fuel pump for the EFI.

Greg’s cruise last year, day before car is running terrible, like a fouled plug. Change plugs and find loose/cracked intake manifold. Thrash at my friends shop to get it welded and back together again. Fire it up, and fuel line bursts. All nighter lets me attend the cruise.

This years Bugfest, decide to toss on the 15’ steelies. Crack the lugnuts loose on all the rims except the last McGuard keyed locknut which broke on the stud. Buried pretty deep, with no room. Chromies and tuner lugnuts. So decide since its still tight, leave it alone, run the 17’s for this weekend, and deal with it next week. Probably drill out the stud with a carbide drill. So now that the keyed socket is munched, need to buy 4 more spline drives to replace the the keyed locknuts. Not going to run the keyed nuts anymore. So all 4 will now be the same. So checked with everyone around town and nobody has them in stock. Performance Improvements can get them in for Fri afternoon. I hope they show!

So what HP will my stock 1600dp with 36 Dells put down?

I'll bring the bug ... slipping clutch and all Lets see how much it puts down at 12 psi and ice water in the IC

I'll meet you guys on the 401 / 427 somewhere on Saturday but can't make the show on Sunday as I have to watch the kids.

My guesses:

1. Pete - 45hp / 65tq to the wheels
2. Alex - 125hp / 140tq to the wheels
3. Greg - 250+ hp / 275+ tq to the wheels
4. Sandeep - 180hp / 190tq to the wheels

Sandeep

Yeah, good to hear your coming Sandeep!


Got the call to pick up the lugnuts, and so i go to get them and they brought the wrong ones in . He says, " no problem the rights ones wil be here a tthe earliest Monday" terrible.........

So after calming my innerself, i explained the situation of having to attend the events, this weekend. So he pulled the nuts i needed off of a "company" car, to borrow for the weekend. So i was happy that i can now participate.

Go in to work, and some people cancel, can't make tomorrow nights shift. So guess who's working? ME from 8pm today till 3am "the earliest i can get out" but probably 7am. So if i seem a little lost or slow, understand i'll be on 30hrs of no-sleep by dinner/cruise time.

See ya tomorrow.

1. Pete - 40hp / 50tq to the wheels
2. Alex - 95hp / 105tq to the wheels
3. Greg - 290+ hp / 260+ tq to the wheels
4. Sandeep - 175hp / 160tq to the wheels

WHOA! Such high expectations for me. Now I'm feeling a little pressured
Depends how the dyno is set up. Nice weather predicted tomorrow as far as cool dry air for the turbo. 264hp in Georgia and they say the dyno reads low. Hoping for 270 here at least. 290 may be pushing it Pete. I'd like to see at least 100hp out of Alex's motor.

Pete- I'll give you a call when we are leaving Oakville, and again at about 427 and Dundas. Can you take care of being in touch with Sandeep?

See you guys tomorrow. I'm so giddy with excitement I'm shaking.....
