got the camera from my girlfriends mom today to recored the dyno, so i decided to make an exhaust video today

i pulled the car out, and put it back in the spot to show off the hole car, and get a better angle on the exhaust.


tommarow im going to do a couple fly-by's and such, and recored the dyno.


im kinda nervous.
i talked to the dyno guy today, and he said "other ppls dynos seem to be calibrated to make the customers happy, i calibrate mine for real world numbers, so its prob going to be lower then you expect, but it will be DEAD ON real world numbers, trust me, ive been doing this for 22yrs"

so that makes me feel a little better!

(i just hope i break the 200hp mark)

this is video of the 3min my dyno lasted......


turns out its JUST horsepwr and trq, no air and fuel reading (i should have walked out right there!)


it went like this

"get the car upto 4800rpm in 3rd gear"

so you can see me revving the car up after he walks away, and then me looking at him, back at the tach, over and over.

he doesent say anything, when he starts walking back over to me, i let off of the throtte.

he tells me "when you get it up to 4800rpm give me a thumbs up"

well then you see me rev it up again.

this time after i give him the thumbs up, he tells me to shut it down, then the smoke starts pouring out.
notice it takes him forever to tell me to shut it down.




tranny fluid had dumped all over....

we aborted the dyno, and i drove the car home, no problems, nothing, shifted PERFECT.

i have NO CLUE WHAT HAPPEND!

dunno if it was a seal, or just the over flow.

i checked the tranny fluid level before leaving the dyno, and it was a little over filled.


ive cleaned the bottom of the car off, and i DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS, OR WHAT TO DO!

ill drive my truck to work tommarow, then i can get under there and see whats going on, as its to dark after i sprayed the bottom of the tranny and car with engine cleaner and such.

car dident act different, or nothing when it happend, seemd to happen when the car was letting off the trottle.......
if you have ANYTHING I CAN CHECK that would be great.
otherwise im just going to look the car over tommarow, and drive it to see if its leaking.
if it leaks, i can chalk that up as a blown seal (even if it shifts fine?) or something else
i need help on this one guys.
ive never had problems before.
if its just overfilled, and i need to flush and replace the fluid, great, thats simple and easy.
but if its a seal, this is going to put a serious problem on me.

thx for any help

wtf?? didn't the boner ever tell you to punch it??? my dyno guy holds it a 3000 for a few sec to stabalize everything until he is in third.. then he gives it its few sec of hell!!

this was to get it "set up" he said, this wasent a pull, this was to get the dyno "set up" he said.

he said he had been doing this for 12yrs, but he forgot to mention the first time i reved it to give him the ****ING THUMBS UP!!!

if i hadent reved it up and held it there so long, it might have been alright.

ARGH i dunno what to do.

hopefully its just the seal on the pan, and not anywhere else......[:'(][:'(]

What kinda hokey place was that. EVERY place I have ever went for tuning, the tuner operated the car.

mjr46

^^^^yeah me too..the dyno operator that I go to doesn't let me operate it either

Probably just some overflow. I still leak some fliud now and again after I drive mine but I am never low. I just overfilled it one day and it slowly starts comming out. Sucks that the dyno dude did that to ya. Did you still have to pay full price?

WhiteWindsor

Exactly, and the dyno should be set up to read A/F as well as rpm. Did the guy have a computer? Almost sounds like some backwoods homemade ****. The purpose of the dyno is to get info, how the hell can you tune the car if you dont know what the A/F is? I told you the price was fair, but not for his "set-up".
