View Full Version : OFFICAL: TurboChargers.com Dyno Day - JUNE 7TH

For the extra lazy, the important stuff is in bold.

Finally, after a lot of talk, I am proud to announce our first dyno day with the new dyno. As you may know, we have just recently purchased and installed a brand new Mustang AWD Dynameter, and we're ready to break it in proper.

In honor of this momentous occasion, we will be offering dyno pulls for $20. Yes, $20. This is for 3 pulls or 2 pulls and 1/4 mile simulation (that's right, on this dyno you can do a true 1/4 run simulation), no wideband. We will charge an extra $10 if your car is retarded low and we have to use special ramps, fork lifts, or any other implement of destruction to get you on the rollers. We can accomodate FWD, RWD, AWD, Diesel Trucks, etc.

We will start this at 10AM, Saturday June 7th. We will stay as late as midnight or so. If there are a ridiculous amount of cars left we will continue on Sunday if the need presents its self.

We will be grilling out, we'll probably raffle some stuff off, and we'll be kicking off our Dyno Shootout, where I'll have a special website showcasing the highest powered cars to touch the rollers. We'll also have prizes for the class winners.

We'll have 2 drums of Race Gas and 1 drum of Methanol on hand for those who want to purchase some to use on their rides.

This is a cash only event. No credit cards, No WIC, No Food stamps.

We are located at 290 and Bingle, on Burr Oak Drive, next to Mustang Cat. More info to follow, as it presents itself. Feel free to post questions, and let us know if you think you might want to come by. I know, nearly a month in advance, and you probably don't make plans more than 2-3 hours ahead.. but I'm not asking you to pay upfront.. ;)

One of your other dyno days on NASIOC you guys bent a lot of lateral links? Is Nathan from PDX going to be doing this? :) I'll go then.

Ahh, the lateral link thing happened in 2004, and it was one guy, per google. Whoever did that no longer works for us, and I know I'm smart enough to not do that.

The PDX thing was a special even they set up. This isn't really a tuning event, more of a show off kind of thing.

I will accept payment in advance if you want to put your name on the list. It will be first come first serve on the day of testing. If you put your name on the list in advance you will have to be at the shop at 10:AM or you will have to resubmit your name to the list.

We are getting some of our vendors to put up prizes so we will be giving swag away all day. Be a great time for you sponsorship seeking guys to show why you are a good candidate

As far as the issues with the dyno on awd cars. Turbochargers.com has went through a lot of changes in the last 7 months we are totally restaffed, not to mention 1/2 the issue was with the dyno jet dyno and that it did not stop evenly. I can assure you the dyno will cause no issues to the cars, well other than breaking your ego if you have been telling stories.

We now have a Mustang dyno that leads the way in technology based dyno's for new awd cars. The guys from PDX did do a few subarus last week with no issues. We have the ability to spin non drive wheels in 2wd vehicles to keep high end cars out of limp mode.

Also we will not be doing any tuning on the dyno during the dyno day. If you would like tuned before the dyno day you can set up an appointment prior to the event to get the car running well and show off in front of everyone. This will also be a open house of sort and give everyone a chance to meet all the new employees and see the product lines we have picked up.

Thanks

Can I have the physical address to the shop, becuase I want to prepay for my dyno pull. I know its only $20 but I was wondering can I come by in person and pay cash sometime this week to reserve me in early?

Dyno Day we will not accept CC. We are anticipating a large turn out and we are not going to worry about running CC all day.

It is $20 bucks for 3 runs or 2 runs and 1/4 mile simulation. We will have the store open for parts sales and CC will be accepted for that.

We plan to have the first car on the dyno at 10am
