Well, I'll bet that the dynojet gives you a 16% higher reading than the dyno dynamics:)....mustangs can be all over the place depending on the model.
More importantly though I would highly recommend tuning on the dyno-dynamics. Once your familiar with mapping the tables and the need to tune different cells(and thus load the car to get it to a particular cell and hold it there to tune), the difference in dyno's will become more clear.

Well, thanks for the advice. Dyno tuning is all new to me. Especially with a laptop! I am used to tools that fit in my hand and that I can turn to tune something.... :)

At any rate, Marco is a "Master tuner" for mictotech, so I will let him work his magic (while I learn) on his dyno (dyno jet). If I am not happy with it when it is all done I may well attempt some fine tunning on the dyno-dynamics one. I am just now getting a little familiar with the software and how to move between screen and how to adjust different parameters. It seems pretty user friendly (thankfully) but I am not a wizard at this software stuff. Someday I hope to be!!!

Cheers

Nice to hear it lives Jeff!

Thanks Ed,

How is your motor comming?? Still waiting on machine shops?

Cheers

Parts are enroute-finally!!

But, I'm headed the other direction. With the new job, I'm travelling a ridiculous amount. But, the plan is to start on the assembly Labor Day weekend; at least getting the rods on the crank, if not getting the case together.

Well, here she is sitting on her own 4 legs for the fist time in almost 2 years. I forgot how good they look when not on jack stands!! Took some screwing around to level it (I have taken 250lbs out of an already light Carrera since she came off the road) I also had to do a wee toe adjustment up front as I narrowed the track slightly from where it was previously set to help squeeze the tires it (935 front suspension make that easy to do) :)

Yes, it will be going to paint once it is tuned! Windsheild is out and the rest of the Lexan windows are on their way as well as the lighter weight mirrors from TRE. I will weld up the holes on the rockers/mirrors/antenae before I ship it out for paint.

It is off on the flatdeck Wed to be broken in on the dyno, not sure how much tunning we will get done as the main goal will be setting a decent AFR and timing and then seating the rings. Planning at least 2 oil changes that day as well.

Here she is.......

Nice Jeff, looking very purposeful, love that color!

Thanks, Pacific Blue...... Strange how the only thing stock on this car is the tub and I feel compelled to repaint in the original color because the original owner special ordered it that way. The color was not available (unless paint to sample) the year the car was built (84).

I would prefer and orange or mexico blue car, but at this stage after repainting the engine bay and front of the trunk where I welded the oil cooler baffle in I just can't see changing the color.

Maybe on the next project....... :)

Cheers

Awesome....

i actually really like the colour of your car.
IMO much more suiting then mexico blue or orange. I know those were IROC colours, but they're also old, and IMO look a little off anyways.


keep us updated on the dyno tuning.

which brand of wheels are those? they look amazing!

Those are the latest set of Kodiaks I made. 16lb front and 16.5lb rear (17x7.5/9.0) My track set will be a different style and completely black......

Cheers

Jeff...the car looks great already.
Love the wheels.
You've done an incredible job with it to date.
Keep up with the updates.

I love your car Jeff - glad to see the end is in site

Jeff,
The car is looking great! Those wheels look even better on the car. Are you going to run rocker panels or keep it how it is? I have been going back and forth as to whether or not to put rocker panels on my car before it goes in for paint. What mirrors are you going to run?
-Shawn

Very cool Jeff, now I have a better idea of what your talking about. You'ra a man after my own heart!

I can'y wait to put my new Kodiaks on!

Thanks guys, your comments keep me motivated.

Shawn, I am not sure yet about the rockers, some guy made me a great set of 964 ones that maybe I should put on... :)

Jeremy, the end is in sight? OK, I will take your word for it! (after we have a drink at RRIII you can judge that..)

Mike, your wheels look cool, I can't wait to see pics of them on your car! They should go out this week. Thinking about a set of identical ones but completely black as my second set. Mind you I have 5 sets there being done so I guess I can be choosey....

Nick, I hear you on the colors and have bantered back and forth with Shawn and others about the color and whether or not I would still think a bright orange car is cook in a year or two...

Next pics will be of it going onto the flackdeck and beign rolled up onto the dyno. Hopefully no pics of smoke and fire and melting aluminum... :)

Cheers

Hey, can we make it a threesome? ;) It looks like I am going now also, although for me it will be work...we just got done with a nice resto/engine rebuild of an ex-Brun 962C that will be at RR3. SmileWavy

Good to see you got the motor running and the car off the stands. When I was there a month ago I didn't think it would be possible so soon...:)

Can't wait to see what transpires when you make the dyno carousel...

Ralph

Ok Jeff, the color of the new wheel centers is perfect. What is it?

Bob

Ralph, sounds good to me, Lets get together with boys down there, glad you are going to make it!

Bob, that is the "hardcoat anodyzing" I was mentioning to you on the phone. I am pretty pleased with the look of them.

cheers
