I tried the search and a few relevant posts came up. But they were quite dated, beginning of the year.
I just got a new car. It is a mazda speed6 and it has AWD. I’m lookng for a place that I can have the car dyno’ed to get a baseline dyno, along with the a/f ratio. Because I think the car is running QUITE rich.
Also what prices can I expect to have to pay for a baseline dyno run? I’m used to the places and the prices for dyno’ing motorcycles. But I’ve never tried to get a car dynoed.
i know… i was interested a bit… ijust dont have the capital… i’ve been on nyspeed for a long time… this is a great forum… it moves MUCH quicker than wnysr…
last i heard, innovative didnt get their dyno in yet, but im not 100% certain.
the only one i know of at the moment is at Kennedys…whom ive heard great things and bad things about. http://www.kennedysdynotune.com/AWD%20Dyno.htm
Yes it is a similar setup. It is normally 100% fwd biased and when it detects front/rear wheel speed mismatch, it will transfer from 10-50% of the power to the rear wheels.
The system works very well as I found out during that huge storm we had, seamless transition and if you turn off the dsc/tcs it will oversteer very predictably. Donuts are fun in a snowy parking lot…
I’m pretty happy with it even though it gulps fuel when you get into the boost, which is addicting…and that’s 93 octane fuel…ouch.
I have seem 2 differnt red ones, one uber douchebag in a black one, thats the guy downtown. I was plotting tee he he. I have not seen one in white, thats pretty hot for that car. I should know a thing or two about rare paint color cause i have the supre never seen blue sti /sarcasm. Hope to see you around, thats a nice car.
Thanks Rob. I was looking at the sti too but it was too much $$ for me, and the subie guys wouldn’t budge. Plus the tires had to go they looked like motorcycle tires with no tread
This car has what they call “summer tires” too but they do ok in snow.
They were giving like $4k off on the ms6 and $2k off the sticker.
Anyways I’d like to get a baseline dyno and then I’ like to get a cai and mabey an exhaust. It’s pretty quick but it’s no wrx or sti. It’s heavy.
