Volvo Dyno Shoot-out day at HLM, Bromsgrove - Saturday October 4th, 2014

[Wobbly Dave]

Power run day at HLM Bromsgrove (http://www.hlmtuning.co.uk/) on their Dynojet dyno (single roller)
35 of your English pounds in cash (1 pound surcharge for cards) on the day will secure you 3 runs including a print out on their rolling road.

It is assumed that the cars running on the dyno will have oil and water in the correct amounts in the right places beforehand, even so all owners will have to sign a disclaimer (full T&Cs available from HLM) so if your car does for some reason split it guts/rods or other important parts HLM are not liable.

HLM reserve the right refuse access onto the dyno for any vehicle at any time. They have the final say.

I would like to have numbers finalised on Tuesday 30th September 2014. I will be inviting all comers from all main Volvo Performance forums (T5D5 & VolvoTuning.net). I would prefer to limit to Volvo only but I am not that bothered.
I may even put up some trophies for the highest peak torque & highest peak power.

Teas & Coffee will be made available & Big Dave's cafe is but a short walk away (open from 07:30) who is more than capable of satisfying the largest appetites.

So getting tuning & Come and 'ave a go if you think you're fast enough.

Please put your names below if you're interested. (Unlimited numbers).

Anyone is welcome to come down & watch if they want - you don't have to run your car.

[stribo]

Is it a 4WD dyno?

[M-R-P]

So I don't have to run the starlet if I don't want to?

That's good - I didn't wanna embarrass anybody with it's epic power figures :shifty:

[Wobbly Dave]

Words escape me.

[Nealevo]

Is it a 4WD dyno?

No mate its not..... but its accurate lol no made up figures

[Wobbly Dave]

AWD cars can run/ have been run - I believe that would involve removing the haldex fuse. Contact HLM if you are at all worried about it.

[M-R-P]

Can 'o worms...

[Wobbly Dave]

Can 'o worms... I fully realise this & no I am not getting drawn into the debate. It is technically possible but down to each AWD owner to consider it. Caveat - I don't think the viscous type AWD can be disconnected without some labour so lets not go there either.

[T5RatherAmusin]

shame hlm is millions a miles away from me as john(dream3r) is tweaking a map for me now :pimp2:

[Wobbly Dave]

HLM is Junction 5 of the M5 - so you have a direct path?

[Saaamon]

Yes I'm up up for this. Does anyone know if I could get my car remapped whilst there? Just a case of swapping Ecu's?

[T5RatherAmusin]

pretty much. almost 4hrs of it lol

[The Flying Moose]

Can 'o worms...

Lets not poke the fire Martin, the facts are open domain, let people make their own minds up!

[The Flying Moose]

Yes I'm up up for this. Does anyone know if I could get my car remapped whilst there? Just a case of swapping Ecu's?

Yep just a case of swapping ECU's mate, although you'll only get an off the shelf map. At £150 though the £ to grin factor ratio is very well proportioned!

[The Flying Moose]

Might as well set myself a target...

[Saaamon]

I'm only after a small increase, it's 225 with a bleed valve but finding it to be like an on off switch so if I got 250 without it that would be more than enough for me, still reliable and hopefully a bit better on fuel (sad I know lol).

Is it a 4WD dyno?

Trip to Specsavers needed there, or his awd wheelbase is that short, that he can get all 4 wheels onto a single roller......lol

I have heard of this being done on the haldex equipped cars, but personally if I had such a vehicle, I'd not do it just in case, It could be very costly if anything did go wrong and with my viscous type awd's I have here, I wouldn't drop the prop, has it would be a pain to do just for the dyno and wouldn't then be correct figures wise, as the transmissional losses would then have been altered

[Wobbly Dave]

To be fair Moley - I did add the single roller after the fact.

[stribo]

AWD cars can run/ have been run - I believe that would involve removing the haldex fuse. Contact HLM if you are at all worried about it.

I'm not at all worried, as there's no way I'm going to pull the fuse, and run it in 2WD.;)

I'll bring some ratchet straps to hold the bonnet down in case his plugs try to escape again....

Would you have to back it in and run the rear in reverse.....lol

[Volvostorm]

Put me down too, I may surprise people and turn up in a 850!

Just noticed you are AWD and this dyno is a single roller, just so you know, in the first page of this thread there was some discussion that haldex can be disabled to allow your car to run on a single roller, should you wish to, but whether it is wise to, I can not answer.

Thats good that you have been able the disconnect the haldex for the rollers before.

ok in you go no.23 and no wheel drive at present, but you were trying,a nice 2.2 for the 60ft shame about the 64 second 1/4 @ 21mph if I remember correctly + or - an mph

then again the blue corsa from around the corner from Pete had a brakedown on the strip at about the same point and managed a 44 second @ 12mph ....strange sport I'm sure the logic is right but sometimes it doesn't look right

Spectate ????? Run your car, the Dyno is much better.

[JamesT5]

Will be an interesting day although for a lot of people who've done this before, the results will be fairly predictable. There are a few unknowns, I've not been to a rolling road day before so it should be interesting.

[ExternalError]

It will be interesting to see what my remap does and as we get 3 runs id like to test just how much of an impact meth adds to my result. If anything it will be a nice comparrison to my 273.5 HP I got on my standard map to what I have now. It will be nice to what the remap and running 100% meth adds as it feels like a different car when the suspension behaves.

100% meth steady on old chap

is that stuff not quite corrosive at high concentrations? Apologies if you have that covered already

Do you have a project thread?

It does have corrosive tendancies but they arnt very high so you can use it for short term use. I flush my water injection system through with water after using 100% meth and dont store the meth in the system for long periods, usually goes in just for the day to be used. I added it on the jaunt to the EVO the other month to give the car a bit more umph.

i didnt do the work as the previous owner had already fitted the meth injection, ported and polished the head and shimmed the block and also fitted the cat back exhaust.

All i've really done since buying it is remap it and continually got strut mountings fixed as the coilovers that are currently on it arnt very good in my opinion hence why i've got some nice new bc racing coilovers. I have had the wishbones bolybushed and fixed a few little niggles on the car. I have plans to do down pipe and inter cooler and fit a boost gage this year but decided to do the clutch and flywheel 1st as the clutch was on the way out and didnt want to stress it much more.

I may do a project thread once I have the clutch fitted

But a project thread starts as you got the car, not halfway through the project. If you don't want to do one fine, but some of us would be interested to see how it progresses under your ownership. :D

I think I might park up the night before and walk in the morning in that case then!!

Everyone will want to see my T5 on the rollers just for the entertainment value. Remember, I should have scrapped it along time ago.......... apparently.

Don't joke about it cars do go bang on rollers !.

Or the rollers can !.

[JamesT5]

Don't joke about it cars do go bang on rollers !.

Well the Dyno runs are done at the owners risk. I know Hamish is asking for a disclaimer to be signed to cover is ass so we don't sue him for damages.

The T5 is going to have a full check up and service before it goes in, I want to give it the best chance. I often thrash the trousers off it so I don't expect it to go bang, and I have the refurbished 16T remember. :)

I don't imagine that many cars go bang on the rollers though, law of averages means that it is inevitable at some point I suppose.

I've heard of melted pistons after remaps that weren't, shall we say..... tried and tested.

:hidesbehi peepo

[icooney]

Unfortunately I'm now out of the running. My wife has arranged a birthday party for our little monkey. Have a great day.

[Wobbly Dave]

Hamish rang me on Saturday (yesterday) to say that he is now running this as a Charity event as he is going sober for October in an attempt to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support

http://www.gosober.org.uk/

Details are still to be confirmed, but I expect that most of the money charged for the dyno runs will be donated.

Fair play to Hamish for this worthy cause.

Not a problem with that Dave, thanks for letting us know. I look forward to the day, regardless, and hopefully meeting a few faces from here whom I haven't met yet.

Still £35 is it?

[Wobbly Dave]

I don't think the charge will change - just the destination

[M-R-P]

Due to the setback in the house move, it's looking increasingly less likely that I'll be able to join the fun guys.

Confirmation to follow when I know more :(

[MoleT-5R]

A worthy cause and good on Hamish, who I met by chance gate-crashing Retro Rides....till security got him....Hero....LOL

[M-R-P]

Really? he's got big balls for a little fella lol

[Wobbly Dave]

Spoke to Hamish to acquire more detail on the Charidy aspect of the event. Each run will donate 5 pounds to MacMillan cancer support from the 35 pound run fee per car. I expect there will be a bucket for additional donations should anyone feel the oblov.

I will be helping with the running of the day with Clancy, as Hamish has no spare staff to assist. You will need to see me for signing disclaimers & paying for your runs.

For anyone running their car on the dyno the responsibility for the fitness to run, including ensuring adequate coolant & oil levels etc is firmly with you, as expressed in the Terms & Conditions of the disclaimer.

I will remind you all nearer the time.

[merc85]

Really looking forward to this, despite not having a Volvo lol

Looks like I'm spending the day strapping down car's then :)

Looking forward to this, some money to charity (no water buckets required :D ), I'll get to meet some new faces and then to top it off I'll see what my T5 will actually make on the rollers.

I've got the zero twenty oil ready......... ok, just kidding. But I will be giving it a service before the day and I'll be using some 10-40 or 15-40 oil this time, I promise. ;)

Sleep - what's that?

What time is everyone aiming to arrive from? I imagine we'll have to be there pretty early to give everyone a fair chance to get on the rollers. More money for charity then as well I suppose.

I've just today, found out why my T5 has been so sluggish so I'll be interested to see if the fix get's me' figures back up to something resembling normality.

I think you said at the 2 Henry's in February that you're in tuned to 270bhp?

[ExternalError]

that was feb before the remap i hit 274 with ported polished head 3" cat back exhaust, since then ive had a new racing clutch, single mass flywheel, dreamer remap, piper cross induction filter, and now have meth for my meth injection.

conservatively id say 300+ now just need to get some new front tyres im thinking syrons and some brake pads next week

Yeah, looking forward to it - had something in the diary already but it got cleared out & the better half gave me the nod for a Saturday off husband/father/work duties. What better way to spend it than trying to blow up your pride & joy! Should be a good meet & be nice to stick a few more faces to names :)

If parking is shy at hlm will we be able to take over the road by the premises?

[Wobbly Dave]

Parking up factory lane will be challenging and there will be a fair amount of swapping around.
I have BTW already organised a baby sitter for the evening and yes she's a keeper

We could do with some volunteers to organise the flow of car's from the car park quickly onto the rr just so everyone gets their go

I'm happy to help out.

It's ok, I plan on travelling down the night before and pitching up around the corner ready to pounce before dawn. Oh, the joys of a V70, I can get a camp bed in the back. ;)

You can tell you've never camped out in your volvo, double air bed all the way perfect fit :)

Or I'll bring my axle stands and a jack and sleep under the car..... ;)

[V70 Graham]

I may be along to spectate.....then again I may not lol

[JamesT5]

Spectate what? Me sleeping under my car.....? ;)

[WOODY T5]

Well I do hope get there with out killing anything on way

[The Flying Moose]

So in addition to the guys/girls who are running their cars is there a list of those who are going along to spectate? Sounds like this could be quite a large gathering? :)

Not sure Andy, as I am still driving "the enemy" I shall attend and simply spectate though! ;)

[JamesT5]

Hopefully we can all just get together on the day and have a chat without and arguments. Perhaps some face-to-face chats between Dyno runs might help attenuate some of the bad stuff that's been happening here online. I'm sure people will find each other far more amicable in the flesh.

Should be a good day all round.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

[JamesT5]

What's that supposed to mean?

[The Flying Moose]

I wouldn't hold your breath.

Do I need to bring my first aid kit Colin? ;)

[Nealevo]

Do I need to bring my first aid kit Colin? ;)

Id bring your ambulance mate

[The Flying Moose]

Id bring your ambulance mate

That bad? Surely not!

[JamesT5]

All I'll say is, 'Save it for the Dyno'. :D

So reading between the lines. You a KEYBOARD WARRIOR and wont say anything to anyones faces. I wouldnt be suprised if half the people on dyno day want to ram there fists down your throat. How you havnt been banned from hear i dont know. Your just another bongodave.

A little somthing you should maybe remember to "knolodge is power but knolodge is the wrong hands is dangerous"

Just don't rise to it Colin, I used to but now just sit back and smile or say nothing, it's not worth the high blood pressure.

Plus Dave have put the effort in be a shame to ruin it, which would be just what James would love I'm sure.

[WOODY T5]

Should we get a boxing ring too then !

No Graeme, I'm quite happy to debate things face to face but I'm not going to ruin a perfectly good charity day for the majority.

No that's not correct. I could say the same about others...........

[Ettienne]

There is little point in conversing with you as it would appear you have a head made of wood.

I'm looking forward to the Dyno day, it should be a giggle, shall we try and keep it that way.

Imagine how it would look to hamish, he'd think what on earth is happening here.

You may change your mind about me once you've met me. Most people do and I'm probably one of the nicest people you'll ever meet although I'm politely frank with my opinions.

Ask anyone who's met me at a previous meet event and see how many truly tell you I'm a PITA. If they're honest, you should get none.

Or perhaps they are just polite to your face, but talk about you behind your back ;)

[Ettienne]

How you are in real life may be perfectly fine, it's the stupid things you post up that annoys people.

But I'm planning on watching the Volvos, having a chat and a good time.

If I were you I'd just not try to hard to be in peoples faces, just try and mellow out abit, there clearly is some tension with forums members.

Just remember we are at somebodies place of work for a charity day, it's meant to be fun.

I don't intend on getting in peoples faces, I'm there for the same reasons as everyone else. It'll be hard to miss me though, you will know me when you see me.

There's a few faces who I will have met before, whether they want to talk to me is their choice. For those who haven't met me yet, come and have a chat, I don't bite, I promise. There'll be members from other forums there as well and a lot of faces I won't even recognise.

I've met you James and you seemed pretty quiet and unassuming in the flesh but on here you are a complete ££££££. And I would quite happily say that to your face. I've been known to open my mouth before engaging brain on several occasions but at the end of the day I say it how it is and if people don't like it then that's fine but I am who I am and I say my mind. I don't care if people don't like me, I'm not out to gain fans or supporters. If people like me then they like me for who I am. All you seem to do is rub people up the wrong way, bait them into biting and when they do you 'cry bully'. Then you start gloating if someone sides with you. If you take a step back and actually look at yourself, YOU are the bully. You try to make people look bad but at the end of the day you make yourself look stupid. I don't care if you don't like what I've said but I mean every word of it. If people don't agree then that's fine, I'm not going to get upset by it because everyone has their own opinion and view, something which you seem to forget. If I wrote a thread and it was full of mistakes and people corrected me on it I would thank them for guiding me and take on board their knowledge. If I didn't agree then I would discuss it using evidence for or against. I wouldn't just start throwing my dummy out of the pram and crying "bullying". I'm not gonna beat around the bush, I think you are a sad sad man. I actually respect you for having the guts to attempt some of the jobs you do because I haven't got the skills or the patience to do them but when people try and help and you ignore them or try arguing with them then you open yourself up to criticism. I'm gonna make a suggestion, Take your head out of your ar5e, Sit down one day in your security hut or your radio station studio and read through some of your threads again. You might suprise yourself with your pathetic attitude.

[Ettienne]

That's wasn't typed on your phone was if steve?

[Sharkey R]

It wasn't. It was on my iPad lol

Just as bad then, I'm on the iPad most of the time hence the odd type-o predictive text

Yeah they have a habit of that sometimes.

[martin_r_smith]

Sorry to hear that Martin, have you got your clutch troubles sorted or are you basically back to standard..??

[Saaamon]

What time does it start?

[martin_r_smith]

Sorry to hear that Martin, have you got your clutch troubles sorted or are you basically back to standard..??

Well the car is currently running my original flywheel and pressure plate with an uprated clutch plate. I am still 'in discussion' with the company at present and hope to have it resolved in the week. I was really hoping to get at least the turbo fitted before next weekend but it's very unlikely now so no point in my putting my car on the dyno. I may still come for the social though.

Good to hear it's getting sorted, I won't be able to make this unfortunatley, as I'm on nights and don't finish till 6.00am saturday morning, so staying awake could be an issue, gutted to miss this, as I would be nice to see what the Gul is pushing out
