TEAMMIGHTYMINIZ (http://www.teammightyminiz.com/forum) Announces the Intake Shootout/Dyno Day

Ok San Diego MINI owners, now it is our turn to try something out…

A Dyno Day

We would like to invite everyone to attend a Dyno Day held at JBA Racing (http://www.jbaracing.com/index.htm?dyno.asp~mainFrame) in San Diego Saturday, October 29, 2005. We have a limit of 13 cars for the day. The deal is 2 pulls for $45.00. Below is the link to the reservation list. If there are any no-shows, we will fill the spaces on a first-come first-served basis. Dyno for the shootout will begin around 8 AM and others at around 9 AM. To sign-up, please follow the registration link at the bottom.

In conjunction with the Dyno Day, TMMZ (http://www.teammightyminiz.com/forum) will be conducting a shootout between various air intake systems. We will be installing and testing each intake at the dyno event. We invite everyone to come and watch the numbers for these various intakes. We will be testing Alta (http://www.altaminiperformance.com/), Helix (http://www.helix13.com/html/products/products.php?h=m) and M7 (http://www.m7tuning.com/) and possibly others.

For installation of the intakes, the guys from Creative Autoworks (http://www.creativeautoworks.com/) have agreed to help out. Providing a neutral opinion for installation, they have many years of experience with tuning cars. They are excited to paricipate with the shootout to help break-in their new facility.

Creative Autoworks (http://www.creativeautoworks.com/) is located just around the block from the Dyno Location. They have offered to do other installations a BBQ, and have offered some great deals. So if you are interested, please give them a call (858.279.8900) so they can order your parts.

The TEAMMIGHTYMINIZ Air Intake Shootout

The Test Procedure....

The Intake Shootout shall be performed using a stock MINI Cooper S (One car will be used).

Prior to any modifications, a check for engine oil temperature shall be noted, and an initial dyno test shall be performed.

A third party will be used for installations. The car shall be allowed to cool or heat until oil temperature matches the initial number. If possible, after each dyno test the installer will take a short test drive to feel the difference.
