    Southern Softies Dyno - Round: 2

    Here we go boys and girls, The second round of the softies dyno sessions!

    Earlier this year, we had a blast at Southways Automtive and we'll be heading back there in the not-so-distant future.

    It'll be £30 (hopefully) for 3 runs (although the sweed's power curve was so consistant for the first 2, I didn't need a 3rd) With AFRs measured.

    For anybody interested, it's a Hoffman Dynatest Pro360. 2WD (sorry to all you AWD owners)

    Your power runs will be overlayed on a single graph, then printed and laminated.

    I'll confirm dates soon but if anybody wants to express an interest in a particular date then that'll be taken into consideration.

    It's a very friendly atmosphere with a table full of tea, coffee and of course... biscuits

    Anybody interested, stick yer names down and I'll fill you all in with dates etc. soon

    Here's some pics from the last event...









    19t, greens, 3" inlet, 3" downpipe with race cat, V70R catback, autotech map...

    310.2bhp / 333ft/lb

    I could turn up in the works van, no I think it would just get stuck on the rollers not enough power to pull its self out.

    I'm not sure if it'll be that far into the future Lee but at the moment - who knows. It'll be good to see that monster of yours on the rollers tho.

    It'll be nice to have you there mate. Maybe bring your bro with his vauxsaab to set the benchmark? record to beat is 336bhp, set by "He who shal not be named" in his (now broke) S60R.

    You could always run it for a laugh - it'll give you a good idea how healthy the engine is (and weather or not is already has a remap) and even in stock form, it should make more power than some of the older cars

    Not sure as yet mate, I'll speak to Steve and see what he has in mind. It'll largely be dependent on the availability of the rollers at southways, as you know, it's not a big place and they can't do owt else while they're entertaining us

    You need to get your car on the rollers mate

    Lol, don't think I'll get anywhere near that. Bruv's is quicker than mine so would be interesting how we compare... Although he's having DI cassette issues again. Hahahaha.

    Has he tried fitting a new DI instead of robbing ones of scrappers? lol. Aren't crap spark plugs with too much gap known to kill coil packs?
