Re: Thinking of building a engine dyno.
was also thinking about build/purchasing one a while back... Quickly realized it would be cheaper albeit inefficient on time to just dyno the car on a chassis dyno

Re: Thinking of building a engine dyno.
I had the same thought Tom and agree that is cheaper.
Clearly thought you never get the research done that is need to develop the SVX engine. Take for example cams. On a engine dyno you don't run timing belt covers, and when you want to change the cam its a simple matter. If the engine is in the car you have to pull it, put it back everytime. I don't know of any serious race engine that has been developed that hasn't spent time on a engine dyno. Besides a guy needs a hobby to keep him off the streets. Have a great day. Tony

Re: Thinking of building a engine dyno.
Thanks Tom, I may need all the luck I can get.
We need to get a discussion going about what we all would like to acheive in the end and how best to step through to that point. Tony

Re: Thinking of building a engine dyno.
Adam do you find engine dyno's handy, I read one guy say "The engine dyno always comes before the car dyno" what do you think?
