Dyno Tuning

The dynamometer is the safest and most efficient way to tune your vehicle’s engine management system. With the ability to simulate realistic road conditions in a safe and controlled working environment, our tuners are free to concentrate their efforts on carefully defining and pushing the limits of your high performance engine.

Our facility houses a state of the art 2WD DASTEK dynamometer. Unlike some other dynamometers, our unit is capable of both acceleration run and loading run. No matter what car, if it needs tuning or you just want to know its power output and air fuel ratio we can do it! A car is a car!! Knowing its air fuel ratio is a good idea before you perfom any modifications to your car. There is no point fitting and fiddling with an S-AFC if your car's air fuel ratio is perfect!

Introduction - A chassis dynamometer or also known as a rolling road contains either one or two rollers. The purpose of a chassis dynamometer is to measure engine output either expressed in horsepower (hp), kilowatts (kW) or Pferdestarke (ps). There is also a wideband O2 sensor attached to the vehicle's exhaust to accurately measure the air fuel ratio mixture of the engine. This is important as incorrect air fuel ratio mixture at high loads can lead to engine meltdown which is rather costly and should be avoided. There is also a very high flow fan blower placed in front of the vehicle to keep the engine cool. This provides air flow equivalent to driving on the motorways. This is required since now the car is actually stationary while the 'road' is moving.

Acceleration run - or sometimes also known as inertia run is best used to accurately obtain engine horsepower. Power is measured by means of a heavy roller of a known weight (usually 2 tonnes or so) where a vehicle is strapped down. The vehicle is then accelerated (usually in 3rd of 4th gear all the way to red line). The system then measures the time taken to accelerate the rollers. Since the mass (weight) of the roller wheel is known, power and torque can then be calculated using Newton's law. Force (torque) = mass x distance traveled;. Power = torque over a specific time (torque divide by time). So you can easily see that the higher the power, the faster it takes to accelerate a mass (weight). However this method is only useful to accurately obtain hp figures and is not suitable for engine tuning since the engine runs freely on the roller wheel. Horsepower figures are power at the wheels. A dyno sometimes also will attempt to calculate the losses of the vehicle caused by friction of the gears, bearings and sometimes due to improper gearbox to shaft alignment etc. to obtain the power at the flywheel. The flywheel horsepower is not 100% accurate as the only way to get the exact flywheel horsepower is to remove the engine from the vehicle and bolt it on to an engine dynamometer in a test cell.

Loading run - is whereby a dynamometer has a second roller known as the 'brake' hence the name brake horsepower (BHP). This allows an engine to run at a steady state which that the operator can hold the engine at any speed that he dials into. The operator can then alter the ignition timing while carefully listening for knock and optimize air fuel ratio by monitoring a wideband air fuel ratio display to tune for best power and torque. So how does it calculate the horsepower. The system applies torque to the rollers.When the torque applies equals to the torque produced by the engine, the dyno rollers will be held at a steady state. Power is than calculated. Power = torque / speed.

Unit Conversion
1 hp = 0.7457 kW
1 hp = 550 ft-lbs/sec
If you can push a 250kg (550lbs) weight one feet in one second, you are rated roughly one horsepower.
If you can push the same mass in ten seconds then you are rated 0.1 hp!

Power (hp) = Torque (ft-lbs) x RPM / 5,252
Which means Power (hp) = Torque (ft-lbs) at exactly 5,252 RPM
