Last update for me. I'll be coming up but my car won't be ready by then. D: But It'll be a blast to hang out with everybody.

 

Hey I still need a YELLOW sticker. I need to make my car go faster.

 

ANNOUNCEMENT
To ensure that all runs smooth, walk-ins will end by 1pm or 40 registered cars. If you have not prepaid but wish to dyno tomorrow, please make sure that you show up before lunch time. We apologize for this last minute announcement.

Good meeting you all today if I didn't say hi, sorry I was the tubby dude in the blue jacket and white 05 STi. Thanks for the T-shirts Alex

 

Awesome meet, great turnout...and yes wicked food thanks to chef keegan. 20 cents never tasted so good.

 

Wish we could have stayed to eat! The wife was not feeling well and I was actually surprised that she came. Good to see everyone again. Dyno posted in the dyno database in power and performance. Hopefully others will do the same!

 

Thank you for everyone at wrxatlanta and batlground who organized this event. It was a blast.

 

yes i agree, great way to waste a saturday. thanks to everyone at batlground!

 

that was fun, let's see some numbers

02 WRX with VF39 tunned by Scott 242 AWHP 247 AWTQ

 

Dammit............i had to miss this 1.....my son made the allstar basketball team...they sprung practice on us grrrrrrrrrrr glad u guys had fun tho.

 

Good times, good to meet everyone. Even though I somehow managed to be the only car to confuse the Dyno beyond repair, I still had fun.

Btw- I made 177whp and 752wtq. How great is that :eek3:

 

good times 222hp/247tq and new headlights!

 

I heard a lot of people had low numbers, I wonder if something is off with the calibration.

 

had to have been they'd ask what people thought and then they would put an extra strap for those who thought they would be high and then it would get at least 50 or more less horsepower than they thought they would get. who knows what it was but i think everyoone had fun at the same time i know i did despite the cold wind

 

there were a few misreads some 650+ftlb, but my car has seemed off since meth and it showed. :wtc:

 

I feel for you. They looked like they were trying; too bad they couldn't figure out the snafu.

It was cool to see everyone. Quite a load of Rex's all over the place. Milo, thanks for the stickers. Keegan, 20 cents tasted good to me.

Dean

 

i was just being funny alex, he and ash are at a conference this weekend or he'd probably be at the road course with baller(slow wrx i think on this forum). he was going to some road course near columbia,sc. sory i didnt make it out, it's what i get for joking around, my wife made me do laundry!!! :bowdown: LOL wanted to meet some of you guys and i always love to see torque curves on turbo motors. latr david

 

Low readings are probably more accurate... and it gives motivation for further mods

 

Yeah, it was cool hanging out as usual nice seeing everyone!

 

Every dynojet or dynapack is different...you should stick with one dyno to stay consistent. That way you know your gains more accurately when you mod. They're calibrated differently, some have a difference of up to 10% between one another. Regardless...

It was a great event, good to meet everyone, very well put together, and loads of fun. Subaru owners are a good crowd to be with. Definitely glad to be part of this forum/club.

Those of you going on the mountain run tomorrow that were at the dynoday, see ya at noon.

 

thanks to instruction by me

baja turbo motor VF-39, big top mount, turbo back + ecutek i made 270hp/320lbft

one run i made 220hp/600lbft :rofl:

 

powerstroke desiel#'s on da torque:rofl:

 

Great event. Cool hanging out. The downsides were low and VERY inconsistent numbers. I'll get another baseline from SS before I mod. Thanks for having us Batlground.

 

I though my numbers were low just because I have a 2.5i stock, well that's part of it.

It was really cool to finally put some forum names with faces.

Btw, you should have seen the look on the tech's face when he opened my hood, "your missing something!" he said!

hahahaha, I told him he could just put a turbo in if it made him feel better.

 

^lol

 

hell yeah that was fun. havent that many subys in one place since the warehouse meet. getting to hear everybody at full WOT was well worth the drive to BatlGround. thanks again for letting me jump in at the last minute.

 

Had a great time hang'n out and taking everything in.
It was great seeing and talking to you guys again Milo,Alex,PeD.
Thanks Batlground for the hospitality.

 

Thanks for coming guys! It was a pleasure having you all. Maybe we cando it again sometime.

I had a lot of people asking about difference in dyno numbers. There are tons of reasons for this.

Here is a good article I found a while ago that does some explaining, as well.

the real value of a dyno day isn't so much about total numbers but how your car compares to others like it.

 

On behalf of WRXatlanta, I want to thank everyone at Batlground for hosting an awesome event for us. Everything ran smooth and I can't think of any way to have made it better. I would also like to thank some of our members who stepped up to help Alex and myself out. Two in particular are Jo (JL889) for taking care of waivers and registration, and Kevin (keeganxt) for manning the grill.

We look forward to having more events like these in the future.

 

Yeah it was a blast and it was awesome to meet you Alex, Milo, Rick, Scott, and many many others.

I made 267hp/263lbft with just a K&N Intake and removed the muffler.

 

thats a pretty big jump from stock numbers... guess that muffler is pretty restrictive

 

I must say STis had a rough time

 

I think there were some gremlins in the dyno pit. Or maybe the hamster wasn't spinning his wheel fast enough? Rubber bands weren't tight? :dunno

No, I'm not bitter.

 

im happy... relative to others, my numbers were about where they should be
