Yesterday, ImportMeet.com was invited to a dyno day at Racing Greed in Port Coquitlam, BC. Racing Greed (or RG for short) is a well-established shop known for building high end import cars in BC. Their shop is equipped with multiple lifts and a Mustang dyno which locals refer to as "The Heartbreak Dyno." Mustang dynos typically read lower than Dynojet or other styles of dynamometers which is how their dyno got its nickname. From what RG says, their dyno results are consistently 75% of an engine's crank horsepower.
Our group left Lynden around 10am and only had to wait at the border for a few minutes. It took us about an hour to reach Racing Greed and when we arrived they were already testing cars.
We toured the shop and took a look at some of the projects that they are currently working on. They also had hot dogs on the BBQ and drinks available for everyone in attendance. This was a nice gesture and our group appreciated it.
This DSM engine (I didn't look at the engine code – most likely 4G63) was on display which showed off their metal fabrication work.
This Supra had one of the cleanest engine bays I've ever seen. The car was top notch and all of us were very impressed. Apparently it makes over 500 horsepower on RG's dyno.
This 3 rotor RX-7 was badass. You don't see a 3 rotor RX-7 too often so it was quite a surprise to see it under the hood.
There was also a nice RHD FD outside with a monster turbo. It ran on the dyno shortly after we arrived and made mid 300's for horsepower.

Awesome weather and loud car noises made for a great day. We want to thank Racing Greed for hosting the event and inviting us to their shop. We look forward to seeing their group at Mission Raceway this summer.
