Now this is critical and it might sounds like it goes without saying but I can assure you I've used dynos all around the world where I've struggled to do two runs back to back and get consistency or repeatability in the results. If we do two runs back to back, we physically haven't made any changes to the engine, and we haven't made any changes to the tuning. And when I'm talking about repeatability, what I'm talking about here is the ability for the dyno to give us the same result exactly, twice in a row. That is the most important thing for a dyno in my opinion. So let's start with what we're trying to achieve, I guess I've kind of addressed that slightly already and in my opinion, the repeatability of the dyno is the sole aspect that I rely on. Like any tool, that's all the dyno is, it's just another tool that we have in our arsenal and we need to have a thorough understanding of the pros and cons of that tool, its limitations and how best to utilise that for whatever task we're currently doing.

And also probably most importantly the way we go about using the dyno can have a dramatic effect on both our results in terms of absolute power and torque values but probably in my opinion, more importantly have a great impact on the repeatability of our results so it's really critical to have a good understanding about how to get the best out of a dyno. Now dyno setup, dyno configuration and the ways that we go about using the dyno are definitely an area that causes a lot of confusion, even for experienced tuners. Now dyno operation and dyno tuning or tuning in general, obviously they go hand in hand and while we don't necessarily need to perform all of our tuning on the dyno, the dyno, particularly the chassis dyno is one of those tools that the majority of tuners are going to use and are going to rely on in order to perform their job and get the best results possible. And in this webinar we're going to discuss some of the basics of dyno operation using our Mainline four wheel drive 1200 dyno. Welcome to today's webinar I'm Andre from the High Performance Academy. We’ll then cover techniques for effective steady state and ramp run testing.įor this webinar we’ll be using our Nissan 350Z. In particular we’ll focus on vehicle preparation prior to a dyno session and strapping the car to the dyno. In this webinar we’ll look at some of the basics of dyno operation using the mainline 4WD1200 rolling road. Like any tool, the dyno needs to be understood in order to get the best possible results from it.
