I wanted to get a baseline done of my civic, I'm not really up on dyno information. SO does anyone know of some good places that arent that expensive, keep in mind, no tuning, I just want a baseline to see how my kit is.
Thanks

Protech in Austin.

San Antonio doesn't have one as far as I know.

FredoSP

around how much so I have an Idea

Arturbo

San Antonio does have one at the Hot Rod store.

No they don't. They have an affiliate they use. Besides Tbe Hot Rod Store sucks *****. It took them 6 months to fab a turbo kit off my roomates 3.8 mustang. They still haven't tuned it. Now the turbo is blown. It leaks oil everywhere, and smokes to high heaven. Fock the Hot Rod Store. There was a dyno off of Bitters here in SA, don't know if it's still there though....

SoulSurfer

What store off Bitters Marc? I want my brother to get on a dyno so I can see what kind of HP and TQ he's making on his tiny little motor.

Arturbo

That one off of bitters belonged to Mike Murillo. He joined with the hot rod store and they had a dyno. I think Automotive specialties may have it now.

I'll find out Ben and let you know....

i'd take it to colvin automotive .. they haven't blown up as many cars as protech has..

Arturbo

How do dynos blow up motors?

SoulSurfer

Terrorism

Phoenix GSR

if he is just doing a baseline neither dyno will blow his car, only poor tuning does that...

protechs dyno is supposed to be better, it is brand new and has cool features like being able to vary load at diferent rpms...

but for a baseline run none of that matters, colvins is in an air conditioned room which is nice, but they usually like you to set up appointments, they dont like walk in customers...

I should have one in San Antonio here in about 3 short years. That stuff is not cheap.

there is a dyno in san antonio.actually there are two that i know of. id go to te one in bracken, texas. Its off naco. and 1604. dyno tex research i believe is the name its 40 for the first run and 15 for each after that. you can use the a/f gauge for 10-15 an hour. you can rent the place out for a day for like $500. If any one wants to get a group to get her ill call and set it up. im friends with with owner.We have run some mustangs and vipers there its a really nice shop. the number is 639-6518 or you can go to the web page at dynojet@dynotexracing

Just got back from DynoTexRacing. The shop mentioned above in Bracken. It's a nice facility. I got a flyer for em'

$45 for one high speed pass and a color graph printout. Heres the link if anyone want to check it out.

There is also another one here in town off of Nacodoches across from LBJ. $70 for 2 passes. Don't know the name though.

If anyone needs anymore info hit me up. I live about 5 minutes away from both shops.

BTW I met Mike Murillo today. Really nice guy.

SoulSurfer

I remember when Texas Jam would refuse imports.

justagsr

I'm down when I get back in town and have the gsr running. Hopefully before the end of the year but I guess you'll be gone by then.

bruthaboost

That's hilarious. Gotta love that elitist mentality.

I'd be down for a dyno day. Dare I ask anyone in town comfy tuning hondata? I really need to sit down and teach myself

edit: link doesn't work.

I wont be around until May. If anyone wants to go dyno with me I'm going to do it then. Want to get a base run before I put my turbo on.
