    Midlands Weston Performance RR weekend

    Western Performance have a state of the art new 4 wheel dyno just by Junction 4 of the M42 and i've asked them if they'd do a rolling road weekend for the forum and they'd be more than happy to do it


    We have at last taken delivery of our long awaited Dyno Dynamics car and motorcycle dyno's.
    The car dyno is a state of the art 2700Bhp 4500Ftlb Torque handling four wheel drive adjustable bed twin retarder machine with associated main fans and intercooler fans, which will be housed in our purpose designed and built dyno cell with a viewing lounge off our main showroom.
    The motorcycle dyno is capable of handling well over 600Bhp has a state of the art automatic wheel clamping system and using eddy current retarders is capable of tuning throughout the entire rev and load range, it is housed in a purpose built area with its own cooling and extraction systems and is the only one of its kind in Europe!!
    Both machines fully complement our ability to offer top class tuning services and facilities to our customers.


    Power runs will be around £40 but this is a big but, we can only have 10 to 12 cars on a day.

    The reason for this is that Westonperformance will precheck diagnostic on your car before going onto the dyno and maybe tweak it during the run with them typically spending 30-60 minutes per car checking it over. (This would normall cost £75 a run)

    If there's enough confirmed interest we can look at a sat/sun weekend

    The guys have dealt with I5/motronic cars before, they tune a 20vt red shorty and managed to get 90bhp extra out of it for motorsport events.

    Will be looking for late july/august for this as after september it would be a one day event only of sunday as i wouldn't be available on the sat.

    There's also hold a BBQ there and it's close enough to Solihull for a swifty if people wanted one.

                      With the numbers so small i may ask for a sunday in october thats about 12 people needed

                      I may ask my mate with his Renault Turbo 2 if he and a few others would be interested to make up the numbers.

                      I thought there be a bigger call for this but hey!

                          If I'm not working, I'm in for it. If I am working, I'll try and get the day off or be sick

                          I'll have the car done and ready for dyno in October for sure

                              Well the October the 9th is out, my Turbo 2 mate has it booked and he put a post up within 2 days fully booked out!

                              This is what Western said to us.

                              each customer gets between 20mins and half an hour each.

                              1).I am checking for boost, AFR, detonation, power at wheels and flywheel, torque at wheels and flywheel, tractive effort at the wheels.

                              2).On request i can also check charge temperatures, ignition timing, top speed off load, and rev limit. the last two can be tested in safer than road conditions with better cooling and less load on the car.

                              Everything in section 1) comes under the dyno day session, within reason i can check one or two other things from list number 2), but it all takes time.

                              An average day will be between 10 and 15 cars.
                              the cost is normally 35-40 per car.

                              we normally start the day early 830 to 9am

                              I havnt got a specific finisshing time and quite often it can run on untill 7pm
                              but that is mainly due to extra cars turning up later in the day which are not officialy part of the day but want to come and have a look, and when they see how safe and controled it is they then want to run there car on the dyno.

                              I hope this helps a little

                              please call with any further requests or questions

                              Best Regards
