Seems so far from the wall...

Oh well...not like we're hurting for space

Hmmm...sounds like I get the honors then...

See you shortly!

Hmmm, that thing is way smaller than a Dynojet. One would fit right next to my new lift. Hmm, do they finance?

niterydr · 03-16-2006

They do finance.

wish i could be there for the inaugural run. That thing looks bad ass!! One day my dsm will be able to turn a roller or two.
skeet! skeet!! skeet!!!
(Congrats again)

I guess that's kind of what I was trying to say. If it's built right, there shouldn't be a problem

As far as the specific example (the honda), you and Shane are right, it's gonna blow. But that's obviously a setup that doesn't need steady state tuning...cause if it's that close to the brink, it's either a drag only car, or a dyno queen.

So I guess when Shane said "It's not like you are going to be doing steady state loaded tuning at 8500RPMs at on a Honda running 30psi either", we probably could have just said..."you're right", but it's the insinuation that we don't know what we're talking about that I was more intentioned on addressing.

It seems like Shane was trying to make us look dumb for buying a dyno that we'll never grow out of, and in the process implying that we don't know what we're doing.

The fact is, there are some high hp fwd cars out there that are daily drivers, road racers and autocrossers. All three types are best tuned for more than WOT.

TheBlizzard · 03-17-2006

I don't think anyone was trying to make anyone look dumb. Just asking a simple question. The extra retarder on the front axle is cool and all. It will let you put cars on the dyno the same direction and not have to move things around. And you could dyno a 2700whp AWD. But is that really worth an extra 10k. Hey its your money, it was just a question. And as far as load tuning goes the way Swanny explained it makes more sense. Using the dyno in that fashion makes perfect sense but holding your car at 30PSI at 8000k for 30 seconds is going have ill effects no matter how you stack it. Unless you are spraying your IC with NOS the whole time to keep your AITs way down.

But loading it down for a few more second on the top of the pull would have benefits I could see since your sample would be a little more accurate and easier to diagnose problems if there is any.

Congrats boys!

What fan did you guys get with your dyno?

What sucks is when you have to go from a nice realtime standalone system that you can do instant realtime steady state tuning in, to something that requires a reflash or chip reburn with every change. The Autronic system is one of the best and quickest for using when doing steady state tuning, if you setup the target A/F table before hand, so you don't have to think about what you want at every load point while you are actually tuning.

No shit and amen to that. The tunability between a standalone and your basic piggyback setup isn't even compariable.
We are having one drop shipped from Patterson Fan. Did you guys get one with your dyno? It is something like 13000cfm. We should be expecting it early next week.
Jakey-
89" to 138" wheelbase
9,900lb max vehicle weight.

We just threw our 2500 truck on there, its a tight fit, but it fits.

Jakey · 03-17-2006

What is the maxiumum vehicle width and wheelbase you fellas can fit on your dyno?

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 03-18-2006

We got some huge radial fan, ok for getting some air to the engine bay or flow through the room, but the squirrel cage style fans are a lot better at getting directed air to the radiator or intercooler.

Yeah, those little blue ones rock.
When we were out at XXTuning, they had dual yellow ones. A bit larger than the standard "blue" ones you see. They had them configured for a subaru. One was mounted on a stand, pointed downward at the engine bay (or directly at a TMIC). The other was at the radiator. Its a slick setup, and we'll probably jack the idea.

EclipseGST · 03-19-2006

Now from looking at the pictures on your site... Is that thing transportable?

It looks nice as hell! So tiny but so badass! Congrats on the dyno guys. I will definately be giving you some business!

Shrep · 03-20-2006

No...not portable. Bolted to the floor.

Pushit2.0 · 03-20-2006

People make the 2wd ones portable all the time. This one will stay bolted to the floor.

Very nice looking Dyno. I hope to one day have my car dyno'd there. But that's like another year away. This year it's just maintenance, maintenance, maintenance!

Pimpin Dsmstyle · 03-23-2006

Congratulations guys. I'm glad to see that business seems to be going well. It's almost spring time so it's almost time to get back into the dsms =/ I'll probably check 'er out sometime soon! Again, Congrats !

Talian · 03-25-2006

It is great to see the dream is now reality congratulation.
