Propulshun says it's here

Is a local AWD dyno a reality? Propulshun posted on the MNSC forums that theirs is here. Anyone got the afternoon off who can go down there and confirm?

 

Hmmm, I'd like to see it.

 

just went there today...its blue...lol...but the guy said that its not up and running yet...

 

Where is this place at?? Phone #?

 

1469 university ave
st. paul mn 55104
651-9 17-7747

here you go..

 

Thanks

 

Its offical, I was just there, I saw it with my own eye's.

 

Do you know how much they are charging? Maybe get a group of people to go down there and maybe get a group discount???

 

Erik,

I dont know, but it really does not matter at this point. There is suppose to be three AWD Mustang Dyno's by this summer, so imagine the competition. Anyways if everyone here in MNSUBARU wanted and agrees to do a group Dyno, I dont think there will be any problems finding a reasonable group rate.

We also got Todd E. who also works at another shop that is expected to get one of these bad boys. And the owner of Propulsun and I go way back.

Stay tuned.

yeah, propulshun doesn't have the ramps yet, doh. But the owner of the place, yoom , himself has a WRX with gobs of stuff done, I was talking to him yesterday at rock falls. But I propose a UTEC tuning party there sometime soon, maybe to break in the dyno, I could call him anytime and see if we could get some sort of group discount, or Suby discount.

BTW, its a block east of snelling and University, in the same building as Checker, across the street from the perkins.

 

Alright than, get some commitments, not like the Kart thang, but something like collect some money and we can go make an offer.

 

I talked a little bit with the guys from Propulsion at the Rock, and they didn't have much to talk about. I wonder how much power their WRX is running with. I saw how their WRX ran, and it wasn't being driven very well down the track. It ran consistant low 15's on the 1/4, but I think with proper shifting and a good launch, it would be very competitive.

Fong,

You have no idea, I know Yoom since he a just a prettly boy with lots of money, w/no knowledge about cars. I had to pinch myself when I heard that he was the owner of PropulShun. Imagine that.

Anyways his WRX does need a lot of work, I have driven it before.

I invited him to hangout with us and even talk with Todd E. and the rest of us to get some help with his Scooby.

Chong, I've heard that they can properly tune cars. Do they do Subarus?

 

Fong,

I know Yoom, but I don't know his staff very well. But seeing as thought they always have alot of cars in their garage probably says something.

I'm sure someday they'll have a good knowledge of tuning Subarus, but I don't see how there is any way they could have that knowledge now, given the lack of proper tools until they got this thing. Even if they go get training from TurboXS or whoever else, I'd still pick Jorge 10 times out of 10.

 

yea honestly when i talked to them last fall, they really didnt know a thing about subarus. I think they really only deal with Hondas, and i wasnt too impressed with the quality and cleanliness of their shop myself. Maybe they will learn but until then i would be better off tuning my own car on the road and just using the dyno for power numbers.

just my thoughts

shaun knows quite a bit about them, he owned one, and yoom, he's a little slow with them. But yoom has a VF34, and utec plus all the supporting mods. He doesn't know how to dirve it. I asked what he was launching at, he said like 2200 rpm. that and he had his girl drive it more than him, told him he needs to sponsor me, I could use the parts he doesn't take advantage of.

 

now thats why...hmm..maybe his girl drives better than him....

 

i dont know who i talked to, must not have been shaun then.

still, i think we should give them a test on subarus, there engines, features, and heritage if you pass, then you qualify to work on and tune it.

thats just me
