Anyone interested in a dyno day? CANCELLED

[latheboy]

This was brought up at the save gibbo party and i thought id ask everyone ... I've spoken to the tuner at work and he said he's up for it and will run the dyno .. So far i dont have a day set (but it will more than likely be a saturday)or a date, but i can tell you, you can bring any bike you have and run it as many times as can be fit into the day... So if you want to change stuff and find out what it does this is your chance..It will be in Lilydale in the eastern burbs..
The price will be 1 slab of green beer per bike..
So if your up for it say YES and then we can work out a date if i get enough people.

[slickncghia]

is there a prize for the lowest number?

[latheboy]

Yep .... 1, thats right 1 empty beer can :D

[slickncghia]

it should be like golf, the lowest score wins... ill have to go start looking for that 875cc big bore kit and a turbo

[latheboy]

Just a quit question for deano and booster ... when do you think you'll have your bike ready ...

[KATO ZX7]

Im going to have to tell Trev to get the trumpy going.
He wont want to miss this [:O]

[Booster]

Dragbike/landspeed busa is ready now, probably too long and get no traction, streetbike is fine, 750 should be going this weekend

Get no traction .. I think it'll be fine ... The 750 was the one i was thinking of ...

The guy at work is away till next week so ill pick a date after that....

[slickncghia]

how many runs do you get? and do you get time to do things between runs? i can rejet in 30 or so mins

[latheboy]

You get one run then i tell you to fuck off and leave .... Unless you ride a suzuki :D;)
You can have as many runs as you can get into the time we're there .. at least half the day, more than likely a full one....
The go will be everyone line up you'll get 3 power runs and shown whats going on .. if you want go and change something and line up again and do this as many times as you can .. or till its right...
Bring tools, jets, exhausts, spark plugs what ever you want to change .... try different cans and the like .. air pods V's air box .. You get the idea

[timbo]

Hey Latheboy, does the dyno have a gas analyser?

btw how much?

We always use a AFR (air fuel ratio) metre ... So you will know if its rich or lean ...
Slick .... Slab of green beer

[slickncghia]

awesomeness. let us know when you settle on a date mate.

[zrxmick]

Put me down as a possible, depending on the date. Would love to know what the Igor the REX is pumpin out.

[Z Power]

Same for me would love to know what my zed is making but it depends on the date.

[latheboy]

Im working on the 26th of this month ... thats not this saturday but the one after ... is that good for people?

[Booster]

Its as good as i'll get , just means there's no avoiding the sister inlaws 40th as i'll be in the area..

[slickncghia]

should be good. hopefully the bike is back from the canary by then though

[timbo]

I guess i will have to pul my finger out and fit my new factory pro jet kit and adjustable ignition rotor
that i picked up tonight.Off to the shed for me

[ozkat]

Hey Slicknigga canarys make no difference on the dyno.

[Cruisecontrol]

Not everyone trailers their bikes everywhere...

[TurboKat]

26th it is then, I'll hafta leave enough of the bike together so's It'll go on a dyno.
Can I bring 2 bikes? (& 2 slabs of course)

[Deano]

i am free on the 26th no problems.

[Iceman]

I'll be push'n shit up hill to get there, especially if I'm riding to Sydney and back next week.

[slickncghia]

ill be busting my arse to get it together by then. im supposed to work that day but i plan on paying it off anyway.

so i plan to come to this for sure. just a matter of getting it back on the rd by then

[latheboy]

The 26th it is ... Starting at 10am at 19 Industry court Lilydale ... The max wheel base is about 2200mm so everyone should fit on no problem...
TK yep 2 bikes 2 slabs and ill do a deal for 3 bikes .. 3 slabs:D;)
There is plenty of working area but bring everything yourself that you could need .. But the forklift will be hanging around if you need..
One thing id like from you, if your bike has pillion pegs can you put them on please as it makes it alot easier to strap them down..

So far i've got
Gibbo
Kato and Trev
Booster
TK
Iceman ?..... You know you want to
Deano
Z power?.... You too
timbo
Kev
Slickncghia

Cheers bloke, but without trying to sound like a total prick, I'm glad it all happened so efen quick,(like ya wouldn't let a dog suffer like that, in fact you would be charged for it) like we only found out a couple of days after little Jasmine was born. The minister is putting up the brave face, I'm just waiting for the walls all to come tumbling down.

Yep see ya's there, see if I can get her out of the house at the same time.

[KATO ZX7]

Condolances to the family Mick.
In a weird way you can now relax a little, concentrate at whats in the now :)

[KATO ZX7]

Ok. Dont worry.
Just read the backlog :D
See you girls in the morning:D[}:)]

[zrxmick]

Here I sit doing my best to keep my chin up, 96.6 hp boohooooo.
Up from 92.3 after a couple of sets of jet changes. But still not the 3 figured sum I was looking for:(. Mind you pretty bloody happy with torque. But never mind the Air fuel mixtures are looking way way better.
Many thanks to Ivan, and the crew at Lilydale, the best spent slab of beer, ever.:D
Cheers guys.:D:D:D

[Z Power]

Thanks Ivan,had a great time and it was good to catch up with you and the others. We should all try to get together more often even if it's not a mines bigger than yours comp.

What are we measuring? I may not be able to compete :)

I had a great day, thanks Ivan and your captain, you guys worked hard all day. Thankyou heaps.

It was good too see everyone again, and have time to have a yak and check each others rides out properly.

Oh yeah, my score..........

101.5hp YEAH BABY !!!!!!

[KATO ZX7]

Will get some pics up soon.

They seem to be a bit smokey in the vision department???? :D

Shano & Deano doing one of a plethora of jetting changes on their "Stuntfighter", they got it down to a fine art by the ned of the day.
If you were endurance racing an oil cooled Gixer & needed speedy jet changes in the middle of a race - these guys would be your men. ;)

When you getting your new shoe's?

I glad it all worked out i had an issue yesterday but Tony come through to help out.. Big thanks to him, without him it wouldn't have happened..... And he had a blast, grin from ear to ear after the Turbo bike's..
Also a big thanks to everone who came, by being there you made the way for more of these events to happen, Oh yes there will be more..
I had a great day myself and ill be looking forward to the next one.. Ill give heaps of notice for it and will run the same format for the day (No comp;)).. I didnt note down everyone's power can you stick it up and some more pics too i left my camera at work..

[KATO ZX7]

Tony should feel like a celebrity, how many people have taken his photo today??

Will get them up tomoz, now, those shoes...............

[TurboKat]

Firstly, big hugs & kisses to Ivan for organising the day, I can't think of many better ways to spend a Satdy - Thanx mate & put me down as a definate for the next one. [^]
Good turnout of ASF types on the day, if I remember correctly there was -
My good self - ZXR 7/9
Booster - SRAD Turbo
Latheboy of course - Gix 750
Shano - "Stuntfighter"
Deano - 7/11 Racebike
Parker - FZ1 & Gixersix Racebike
Timbo - ZXR 7/9
Kato & Stelf - ZX7
Doc - "Turbotractor"
ZRX Mick - ZRX 1100 (or maybe 1200?)
Z Power - Z 1000
Mick (Booster's mate) - SRAD Turbo
Gibbo - err... Hilux Ute [?]
Who have I forgotten?
As usual it was good to catch up with the crew over a few beers & a hot Dyno [^] A few just wanted to know how much power their bikes made & a few more were changing jets, adjusting needles & pushing buttons. The SRADs were awesome to hear in full flight - until they broke traction or spun the clutch up anyway - & the sound of a turbocharged 1200cc pushrod V Twin with a shorty dump pipe has to be heard to be believed !

My first run had the A/F ratios all over the place & Ivan & Tony changed the Lambda sensor thinking the methanol from Mick's SRAD might have hurt it.
Looking at the graph, Booster thought it could be plug related so I borrowed a good used set from his mate Mick (thanx Mick, I'll get those back to you) & it cleaned up a bit on the second run but went WAAAAY lean (off the scale) from around 3/4 throttle & the power line took a big dive & only picked back up just before redline. Up 'til it goes lean it pulls a real strong line so that's a good sign I spose so I've only gotta give it a couple of adjustments here & there to clean up the curve & get it to make strong power to redline. I don't reckon there's much more peak HP in it with the skinny standard headers & 38mm carbs (maybe another 7 or 8 HP) so I'm not going to worry about chasing the perfect setup, I'll stick the Akra I got off Ben & my FCR 39s on for nextime & concentrate on getting them sorted, then set up the Nitrous [:p]
When's the next one Ivan? I'm free tomorrow...
Oh yeah, only 105 HP [V]

[Booster]

Ivan and Tony thanks heaps :D
Learnt lots about what bike.. fueling is pretty close But need a clutch with grip!!! Just over 10,000rpm ,180hp & ZING [V]
Methanol 750 with the lockup clutch was 230odd hp when its clutch let go
going to try grafting a gsxr 1k basket to the drive plate .

I don't think there was anyone that didn't learn something about there bike, some of the torque dips and lean spikes were eye openers

Deano and Shane made me appreciate the efi even more ;)

[gibbo]

Great day, thanks Ivan. Think my hearing should return to normal soon, the two turbo srads from Booster were fuckin nuts [:p] Deano and Shano must hold the world record for carbs removed, jetted and replaced the most times in one afternoon :). Tony almost had me signed up for a dyno by the end of the day, only $38k. I better take a bike next time[B)]
Thanks to Ivan and Tony and Ivans boss!!

[latheboy]

No problem kiddies .. thanks...
Now for that Mens Shed booster was talking about, im sure i can get/<s>steal</s>borrow a dyno for it;):D

Oh yeah ... the bosses didnt know about it[}:)][8]:D

[wackyrider]

Damn, so p**d off I couldn't make it. Last minute O/T at work. Had to go in from 7.00 - 4.30.

So when's the next one??

[Deano]

thanks again to ivan and tony, was a great day even if i now hate jetting carbs.

was a great turnout and a perfect bbq was cooked in the morning for us when we arrived.

my 7/11 was about as good as it could get but a small lean spot on the needle ment that 1 raise in the clip position was about all i had to do. tried out the dyna ignition and couldn't see any difference in the power, mostly because of the fcr39 carbs tony had to wind on the throttle progressively therefore by the time he got to wot and the graph cleaned up the rpms were to high and it didn't matter what setting i had the dyna on as full timing was all in by 6500rpm.

after seeing a spike to 160hp spike (unlike ozkat i won't be claiming that figure) but both runs saw 112hp

[timbo]

Thanks Ivan for organizing the dyno day and Tony for lending us his expertize. The bbq went down well and the event was well worthwhile. Good to catch up with everyone. I think I left with more questions than answers though but I think I'm heading in the right direction. Many thanks guys. Chilly ride home over the top of Mount Dandenong but good fun playing in the traffic.108.6hp:D

I thought FCR's had an accelerator pump to get rid of the snap open lean spot?

[TurboKat]

It's a snap open rich spot caused by the big squirt of fuel going in when the slides aren't open enough vs RPM/load.
