We finally fired up the colt (i know took almost the complete summer but house and family come before the toys) sounds really good really choppy should be getting it on the dyno before the weekend just going to run some pump gas and get the map clean with low boost then ill spring for the c-16($14 a gallon)so should be at the track in a few weeks if it all goes good on dyno ill keep everyone posted and host some #'s.

what rings did you go with?

[Shadow24V]

where are you dynoing and which track? (im from CT as well)

[crazymadbastard]

Good job! Where/when are you planning on dynoing?
Maybe I can stop by.

[turbocolt2.4L]

i went with totalseal rings with the gapless second ring,a really good friend of mine has a shop with a dynojet chassis dyno 2wd infact that is were i keep my car and do all of my side transmission work Auto Authority in new haven ct 203-752-0683 not the best area ( doesnt bother me i grew up there) but he is the one who has helped mefrom the start with this car and the neon before.ill keep ya posted when we will do some dynoing still need to check everything over oil change etc.

[Ondonti]

Why would you go with a gapless 2nd ring when everyone these days gaps 2nd rings larger then top rings?
My shop does that on their top fuel motor...and every other motor.

[turbocolt2.4L]

went with what total seal suggested i have a custom set of ross pistons in engine and didnt want to buy another set of pistons and have to have assembly rebalanced I started building this engine well before you could get pistons and rods off the shelve this engine has been in 2 cars and i just decided to refresh it after over 5 years of a$$ beatings,so basically I had no choice but to go with a custom set of rings I also run a lot of piston clearance so it sounds like a cummins till it warms up.........

[Ondonti]

thats what sucky rod ratio does.

[turbocolt2.4L]

yeah i know ,well we'll see what she does on the dyno soon made 401 rwhp last year with 22psi.

[Shadow24V]

well, if you DO go to the dyno before next friday, i would love to get a baseline (one local place near me wanted $100 for a baseline pull, no WB, no tuning...WTH?)

hmm I feel a dyno gtg coming...

Turbocolt, maybe your friend can give us a hookup ? Something like other dynos? I am down, my car is not tuned to go beyond 15psi but I would still go on a dyno.

Thanks, maybe we can host a dyno day for the TD and neon guys? Something like 5-6 cars for 3-5 pulls each for $65 or so on a Saturday?
