Re:How much does a dyno machine cost?

The one that Piers uses is the latest thing for the Diesel boys to use.. It is not cheap but is more repeatable for the high torque applications of the diesel. Its an Aussie company but I can't remember the name.. :-

Most common names are Mustang, Dynojet for the inertia type. The larger scale dynos for heavy equipment are Superflow and I think they are called Dynaflo.. Basically big truck dynos..

The first ones are the cheaper ones. Dunno about the price.

Re:How much does a dyno machine cost?

Piers dyno is a Dyno Dynamics.

Dynojet is around 35-50K They have a nice loading feature for load testing now. Not just inertia.

There was sweet deal on e-bay for a complete Dynojet with less than 100 hours on it. It had everything, including the loading feature. It sold for 23K last night. I wanted to push the "Buy Now" buttom more times than you could imagine Too bad I would have had to pay for it afterwards. LOL

Re:How much does a dyno machine cost?

What is Commiefornia and other states out West using for their roller emissions testing? I think I heard Mustang mentioned once. Just wondering. And how hard do they load the engine during the test?

Glad we don't have to go through that here in NC - we just have to breathe everything blown this way from that direction :

I was kinda kickin the idea around, yes, but after seeing what they go for I don't think so. Heck I can drive to peirs and get it done and drive back 60 times for the dough they want to buy one. Man those are spendy.
