John Noble Motorsports Dyno Day - Results and Pictures

[ryan_s3]

Thanks dino,
Most guys who would be coming to nobles would be running off remapped stock management,mine will be aswell,whether the extra load and boost will chuck the cars into limp mode i have no idea?As you probably know the car's n75 valve(like a vsv) controls the boost and the ecu is reprogrammed accordingly.One good thing about vag cars is things like vag-com which means you can log boosts,temps etc with the stock sensors.

Hi guys,
Wondering if you think nobles is a good place to hold a RR day,i'm trying to organise one for some vag guys with the majority over 300bhp and 4wd.I noticed your comment dino about load? or something is this going to cause problems with powerful cars ie audi rs4/rs6's?

Ryan, IMHO, I think Nobles run a decent dyno day. The guys that operate the dyno know their stuff, they're nice and friendly, and they've got a good dyno with VERY good software. I know the software very well because this is what we had at Owens, and it allows you to pretty much log anything during a run (on mine, they logged and plotted fwhp, torque, boost and AFR).

The ONLY downside that I see is that the dyno run takes a bit too long, so temps can get a bit high, and depending on how good the car's boost control is, COULD overboost considerably. If you've got closed loop boost control, then it's not an issue, but other cars may overboost. Nobles are aware of the issue. But to be honest, I don't think many other dynos in the UK can offer better. The guy that used to run G-force's dyno (now opening his own dyno near Silverstone) claims that his dyno doesn't do this, but then he also weird things like run cars in 3rd gear, and also claims a load of b*ll*x which I know is totally wrong. At least I feel confident in getting my car checked at Nobles.

Hope this helps.

No problem, I saw it hidden away around the corner so took the opportunity to grab a few pics against the 'industrial' background

I would just like to add my thanks to Neil for organising this event, and to Neil & Micheal for the great pictures. Bit belated I know, but I went to see my parents in Poole straight from Nobles so haven't had the opportunity before now. It was got to see new faces as well as old.
I was reasonably happy with my results, although puzzled by the fact that I have been having overboosting problems for a while, & am having an uprated actuator fitted next week to try & solve it. On the day boost was rock solid, so I don't really know what happened. If I had known it would hold steady, I would have switched the nitrous on for my run

Nice to meet some old and new faces, didn't get my promised beating either so that was a bonus White van man was probably the highlight of my day but it was good to have a look around everyone's cars to see what they have been spending money on, it's great to see them evolve

Anyway I took a few photos:

I've reduced the size and quality of them all, if anyone wants the original pic of their car please feel free to get in touch.

Hi Michael, cheers for the pic, you inadvertantly helped me out there, as I needed to post a pic of my side skirts to someone. As for white van man, what a to$$er!
Regards
Ryan
