Dyno shops?

Was thinking about doing a Dyno run before I start changing anything on my car.

So did a quick google search and found 4 shops

http://www.smokemup.com/utils/dyno_results.php

Anyone have any info about these or on any others in Hawaii, things like price etc...

Also how would a HMMC sponsored Dyno day sound?

The link came up with an error so here's the shops for everyone to check out.

The only one that I really know of or heard of is BSM. They are right by the Nimitz McDonalds.

One thing I found out from other friends that race their BMWs on the 1/4 mile is that you won't dyno really good numbers with a car that gets stuck in bumper to bumper traffic all the time. What they had to do to get the most out of their cars for the 1/4 mile is to "drive it like you stole it". The reasoning behind this is because of the OBDII's adaptive technology.

That being said, just call BSM and see how much they charge for a dyno run. Also, see if they are willing to give a group rate or a price for X hours of dyno time. If you are able to secure some time, I'd guess a stock MCS will dyno @ 139whp and a MC @ 98whp. A modded MCS like Minihune's would probably pull somewhere @ 175whp.

Another option would be to use timing devices such as a GTech Pro or an Passport GT1. I had the GTech and while it can be difficult to setup, it was fairly accurate for crank hp. I also have the GT1, but have not used it yet.

I know one of the guys at BSM and can easily reccomend them. Ask for Brian - he's a Mustang guy, but good people.

Maybe check with DaKineMINI to find out if there are any deals on dyno runs in Hawaii using SCCA hawaii or Hawaii MINI motoring club connections.

Hypersports in kakaako doesn't do them anymore either. I found one place in Waipio that does but they want $125 for 3 pulls. I'll do as you suggest and contact DK.

As I told MotorMouth in a PM, Mike W. "sponsored" Sonic's "new" (this is Hypersports old one) dyno. Not sure what Sonic's prices are but I am sure you can go through Mike and get some kind of deal.

Current places for Dynos:

Sonic - 845-1192 1927 republican st.
BSM Racing 225-5411 2022 Republican Street

I had an appointment last Tuesday at Sonic but had to come into work and missed it =(.

The guy with the laser blue/white 07 JCW got dynoed at BSM and got 199lbs torque at the wheels.

LoL yup, that's the guy. I don't know the price at Sonic. Mike said they'd do a discount for me but I haven't heard a price yet.
