Dan Baldwin Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 I ran my car on Avalon Racing's dyno in Manchester, NH on Saturday. I was pretty pleased, but I'm sure most of you V8 and turbo'd Zs will only chuckle at the numbers. Best run of 176.6 hp at the rear wheels. I was only hoping for 165, so WOOHOO! Engine is a 3.1 liter, 10.1:1 CR, 290/.503" cam, 2" Jag carbs on modified (to match carb diameter) N36 intake manifolds. I did have a miss above 5500 that I haven't noticed at the track. Stumbled pretty badly, gotta find out why. Others that ran: 240 w/ 280ZX turbo (11psi) 182 rwhp Z31 ITS car 147 rwhp 280Z ITS car 153 rwhp Z32 NA (stock) 179 rwhp Z32 NA (intake/exhaust) 189 rwhp Z32 TT (intake/exhaust) 314 rwhp Z32 TT (intake/exhaust/ECU) 339 rwhp 1.6 liter Miata 89? 98?

Scottie-GNZ Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Dan, congrats. Hopefully folks are smart enough to know not to compare your numbers to what others have seen on another dyno or calculated from actual 1/4-mile or G-Techs. Your numbers compare extremely well with the modified Z31 and Z32 N/As. ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z Scottie's GNZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Dan, Sounds like a fun day; your ride sounds like a good kick in the pants; & trick w/the Jag carbs. Now just show some pictures (of your car that is). Kevin, (Yea,Still an Inliner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Sounds pretty good Dan. Like scottie said, compare that to the Z32 NA stock that puts out 179hp. Which was a factory claimed 222hp. And you get an idea. Pictures would be nice too, as Kevin said. ------------------ "Nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool."

Guest MegaShaft_2000 Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 Those stage 3 TTZ's did pretty good. 339rwhp is about 400hp at the crank. [This message has been edited by MegaShaft_2000 (edited April 16, 2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Baldwin Posted April 18, 2001 Author Share Posted April 18, 2001 I was also very impressed with the TTs. The stock NA seemed low for 222hp, though. The fact that the L28 turbo, with Wolf Racing computer controlled ignition and injection, was only a few hp ahead of me was very encouraging. I developed a stumble above 5500 which I hadn't noticed at the track. Don't know if it was fuel starvation or ignition yet. I'm figuring 177 at the rear wheels must be on the order of 208 at the flywheel, huh? For pictures, go here: http://www.zccne.addr.com/ click on "members", then "240-280Z", there are a couple of pics, one at Mosport, the other at Watkins Glen. Also, I've got some pics from the dyno day with my recently installed headlight covers and front and rear BRE spoilers. How do I include them in a post? Or I guess I could submit them to the webmaster for inclusion in the member rides section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted April 18, 2001 Share Posted April 18, 2001 Dan, after a bit of sleuthing on that site, I found a picture of your car at: http://www.zccne.addr.com/Rides/Dan-Baldwin2.jpg So to show it, you just put directly after it, no spaces anywhere. If you have other pictures, you can put them on one of the photo hosting sites or your own web space through your ISP (if you have any) and reference them the same way and use those tags around the URL to show them in a post. ------------------ Pete Paraska - 73 540Z - Marathon Z Project pparaska@home.com Pete's V8 Datsun 240Z Pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted April 18, 2001 Share Posted April 18, 2001 Dan, That's very cool! After I return from the Motorsport show, I'm taking a bunch of Z's to the local Dyno Shop for comparison. There will be a Scarab v8, my turbo Z, 2.9 Rebello w/ mikuni and 3.1 Rebello with 50mm SUs. I'm then taking the same cars are getting quarter mile times and then it's on to the Sears Pt. Raceway. Dave Rebello (crew) and Andy Craig (dandos.com), will be assisting me at the dyno and hopefully the track. It'll be good to see how his numbers compare to yours.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 Randy, According to Dave, he told me that they need atleast 6 hours on the dyno for my car. I was only going to rent it for 3. Hmmmmmm.....it would be cool to have a dyno day though..... I'll tell you what....I'll take my turbo Z and do all the tuning on a Saturday. I'll then see if the owner will give me a deal if I bring a bunch of cars for a mini event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast240z Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Hoover, Dave should be finishing my motor sometime this next week or so. If I have the car together in time, I'd love to join you at the dyno. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Michael, I'm not on the internet too much, I'm just too busy with work and family. I just happen to be looking around and ran into this message. Please feel free to email me. What's Dave building for you? The Dyno Shop I'm going to is all the way in Santa Rosa and owned by Ken Gardner. For the most part, I'm having my DFI tuned for hp then driveability. There is another dyno shop in Mountain View, the owner thought it would be good advertising and offered us a discount for a few hours on the dyno. My friends and I decided to split the bill and you are more than welcome to join in. I'll have my turbo and v8 Z there. I suggest we break in our motors first. I'm headed up to Dave's today and check my oil pan. Got any pics. of your car? Hoover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim78zt Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Hey Hoover, If you'd likea copy of my DFI maps let me know. It may give you a leg up, or at least some light reading to help you fall asleep!! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clint78z Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 I am going to start a new DFI thread so any of you can post information about you car, setup, injector size, turbo, intercooler, fuel pressure etc. I will post the global files on my website along with info if that's alright.
