Dyno Dynamics setup is very sweet.

Dynojet also had different setups, so you have to be fairely specific talking about dynojet.

 

^^^ gotta agree wit that. a few of my fellow vegas evo owners been to tuning tech and got tuned on their dyno. so i think u can tune just fine on their dyno.

 

You forgot something. Dyno Dynamics=$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

on horsepower house's mustang dyno my car put down 196 stock. they told me that the highest they'd seen on it stock was 209.

 

out of how many evo's?

there is a thread with a 05 evo on mustang with 248whp, stock except for box filter from k&N.

and yes, that's with the dynograph.

 

not sure how many. this was just on 04's and 03's. when i was there it was just before the 05's came out. they had the dyno for quite some time before i was there so i'd say it was out of a good number of evo's.

 

yeh, i do wish someone would do a sae corrected mustang dyno on different model evo and figure this out.

dynograph and 1/4 mile time will be great with it.

but then again, really, you could have the fastest evo and driver could produce some horrible results.


I also noticed that this forum is completely going toward drag racing.

With doing auto-x, i wouldn't want my evo to spool up at 6000rpm, no matter how much power i have.

With the low peak whp and tq, i would still be happy if my spool is fast, engine responsive is quick, consistant and balanced with least possible amount of lag.

 

The best is to dyno stock as baseline and then everytime you mod you know exactly how much hp you've added, simple as that.

 

Mustang is the best for tuning

Dyno jet is the best for comparing dyno to dyno power

 

i thought dyno dynamics is the best for tuning?

for various reasons, foremost the real time monitoring.

 

Mustang Dyno has real time tuning.

 

Also Peoplehave a missconception about how the Mustang collects data.
The Fact of the matter is the unit is about $60k cheaper in AWD configuartion than a DD Unit.
Great unit , just a little pricey IMO

 

DynoDynamics is THE best. Like the saying goes, you get what you pay for. So, who cares what the price of the dyno is if the tuner wants to provide the best.

I do think that a mustang dyno and a DD dyno are similar in many respects. I just like output provided by the DD, and the many different sources it can log. I think in this game consistency is key.

 

Like Al said the Mustang Dyno is the best for tuning. And if the Mustang Dyno is dialed in right after it is set up then it can show numers similer to the Dynojet. We have both here in my area. My buddy made 367 on the Dynojet and 354 on the Mustang Dyno. And he had a better tune when he came off of the Mustang Dyno... Bruce

 

DYNOS ARE TUNING DEVICES, AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO SHOW HOW MUCH REAL WORLD POWER THE MOTOR IS MAKING.

The only thing dynos are good for are back to back comparisons of different tunes (baseline run, later that day tuned run)

Dynos are used to show gains and losses from tuning, not to tell you how much power you're making. If you want to know that goto an engine dyno.

THAT SAID, DynoJet dynos are the most consistant dyno location to location due to the fact that the dyno operator is entering minimal parameters. For example if you dyno on a DynoJet 424x in NY and then one in Florida, the SAE corrected numbers should be within 2%. This is the reason that most people, my self included, prefer DynoJet numbers. (Although, there are ways to alter the files to make it appear to make more power without any of the displayed parameters being changed)

Mustangs, DynoDynamics, SuperFlow all require the dyno operator to factor in a correction factor. This correction factor can either make the WHP output very high or very low. When on these dynos most of the operators enter in correction factors to attempt to get their machines to read close to a local dyno jet. Although I have seen "shadier" shops use this input ability to inflate dyno results for cars they have tuned/shop setups to drum up business.

As far as DynoDynamic's consistancy, the BEST I've ever personally seen for a DD dyno is 3% variation back to back pulls. I think that's about average, certainly not the "best" in terms of consistancy. DD does offer a massive ammount of logging information standard (items like AFR are optional w/ DynoJets) which is very nice. I've never liked the software though; the power curves don't scale well, the general interface is too dated and the printouts are sub par. Overall, I'm not a huge fan of DD, although I do very much so like their dyno design. If they update their software and adopt a un-alterable weather station w/ set parameters for user input to avoid number inflation I would highly reccomend a DD system. I know a lot of guys sing the high praises of the DynoDynamics because they're so sensitive due to the low weight of it's rollers, but I've never liked the extreme dips and peaks it ends up reading.

Overall, I think it's an excellent Dyno with ****TY software.

Mustang and DynoJet's WinPEP 7, are by far the best "looking" dyno readouts.

As to what dyno is best for tuning, at this point the "big 3" DD, DynoJet and Mustang all offer variable load so they all can be used for partial throttle and WOT tuning. Mustangs I believe use a water brake system (correct me if I'm wrong) like the old Clayton dynos; DynoJet uses I believe a similar system to the DynoDynamics for load adjustment.


But the Short and Sweet of it: Use 1 dyno and 1 dyno only to tune your car. If you want to compare setups to another car, you MUST use the exact same dyno they used to get a truly ACCURATE comparison. A DYNO IS A TUNING DEVICE NOT AN INTERCOCK ENLARGER.
