Now confirmed : We are again running our popular Dyno Day at Beninca Motors, 581 Canterbury Road, Surrey Hills (side st entrance). All profits go to funding our annual Spettacolo in November. Starting at 10.00 am.
Please note that the DYNO is set up for grouping of vehicles to cover front wheel drive (from 10 am), then rear wheel drive (say 11-12 am onwards) followed by all wheel drive cars.
It is essential that this routine is followed due to the dyno configuration on the day.
Same as usual with BBQ lunch and refreshment provided. Cost per car is $40.00.
This activity is a must for members and new members and friends welcome.
Bookings: Contact Register Co-ordinator: John 0409-961-719 or reply to this forum thread.
I'm in, it will be good to see just how many ponies have escaped
Sounds great. Put me down for 2 cars!
John
Count me in for two cars, one FWD the other RWD.
Thanks
Craig
hey,
hows the numbers coming along? at this stage i'm interested... FWD.
woot.
Well we have about 20 so far and I hope to bring numbers up to say 30 to make it all profitable for all.
A good varierty of Alfas (and a few others too) will be there on the day.
Anyone else interested, just text or call 0409-961-719 with name and car deatils.
Cheers.
Ok add me in for 2 Rear wheel drive positions, will be bringing 2 BMW's down just to mix it up.
No problem at all.
Almost 30 people now. Should be a good day. Do not be late.
Cheers
Hi John,
I just got approval from the "minister for war and finance" so add a bog standard 33 to the list as I would like to see how it compares to the old one.
Andrew
We will have a good variety of cars turn out on the day.
Andrew
That's a bit unfair and uncall for, we were vying for the lowest bhp Alfa for the day.
Neil
In that case, sign me up for the 33.
welp... i'm really pissed off since last week my jts blew up... i was very keen to come along to this one... hrmmpf
some1 do me a favour... can some one report the figures? hopefully a jts, ts and v6 of the 156 vintage rock up and put down their numbers...
i have theories on that one...
Shhh Neil,
Last time I told anyone about that Damon brought his Fiat 500 and won with 15HP, mind you Teuros Silver sprint with the "$100.00 special" engine beat me too. Look forward to catching up with everyone there.
Maybe I should bring the old one (one careful owner unfortunately he sold it to me several years ago) as it shows 545.000Km on the clock, still starts first go and refuses to die. That"ll fix Neil.
Will hopefully make this with the 75 although I'm supposed to be at work around 12:30ish so may not get time to put it on the dyno! I guess it depends how things are progressing...
Hey guys this day could be a bit of work !!
Actually as all prior attendees know, you get an A4 colour printout of the result. Last year there was a need to collate all info and we were given the full results from the days testing with power figures but no names.
This year, as you come out of the Dyno Room with the test results, we will note your name, car and peak result so we can match off and collate for the days results. All good.
P.S. News Alert - We now have catering arranged for midday lunch plus usual assortment of drinks. Note free for dyno participants however $10.00 for visitors. .
Hi John
I am thinking I can bring my computer and printer/scanner along to gather the printout.
Neil
That would make it a lot easier.
They just write their name and vehicle details on the sheet and scan it.
Is there any way we can get the raw data output from the dyno, or is that already planned?
Thanks for organizing a good day John..

I have the raw data, PM me with your email address, and your name, your dat number off your result sheet would help too. Not sure why you want it though, it doesn't tell you any more than the sheet you got given?
Hi John
A big thank you for organizing a pretty good day, socially and also involving some kind of Alfa performance related aspect.
It is certainly a thankless task and I know it, so thank you.
It was also good to catch up, see and meet the various different members of different interest in their Alfa but all with the common quest to find out how their Alfa's are performing. Well honestly, I didn't really, now the truth really hurts.
It was good to see the various Alfa's, from the modern, jazzed up ones of 147's, GTV's, 156 and 159, to some classics of 116 and 105 and finally with some racing Alfa's, good to see the owners making the effort to trailer them down.
Anyway, thanks John for all the work, and thanks for the truth, now I know why I can't go faster around the track. Yes, I am blaming it on the Alfa.
Regards
Neil

In the near future i'll be doing a few simple mods to the car, it would be good to have the raw data as a baseline so i can see where the difference is.
PM sent.
136.9 hp@6548 and 162.8Nm@3532 :(
I think there is some work to be done there! I'll spend some time in the mid semester break to see whats what. Really happy with the way the car is handling now though with the suspension work. Cant wait to get it out on the track again once i sort out the steering rack. Thanks to John and Benincas for a great day.
QuoteReally happy with the way the car is handling now though with the suspension work
Deano , you might want to have a look at that rear brake bias value to. Spearing off backwards at the end of the main straight at Philip Island in the wet must be a real attention getter . ha ha

Hi there and thanks for feed back and coments.
It was actually a rewarding Club activity, both socially and from vehicle perspective. Performace data can be of some value - especially when improving up your car. Results will be made available.
Some details:
- Quality catering was an important change (thank you Neil)
- we had about 45 plus people there.
- approx 40 cars went thru the Dyno.
The result - a traffic jam, lots a people all over the place but a fun day.
Next year will be interesting.
That's ok Paul.
Yes Beninca Brothers' help make all of this possible. They need to be congratulated for their time and effort.
Regional members come down to Melbourne and in turn, some of us will partake in your areas activities.
All good.
Results here....
