Re: Thinking of building a engine dyno.
Quote:
The way we have ours setup is in a modular fashion. the engines are mounted in a mobile cart that has adjustable supports and fixtures to fit multiple motor makes/models. We then have an array of adapters that bolt directly to the flywheel/flexplate on the motor and connect to the water brake via a short(adjustable ~12-14") "driveshaft". The cart rolls up to the dyno and is pinned/locked in place to the actual dyno frame. This all avoids the multiple, and complicated array of bellhousing style adapters. Starter motor engages a ring gear affixed to the brake itself, so there's never a worry about having to find a way to get the engines actual starter motor to work with the dyno. |
