If you are involved in vehicle performance testing of any kind, whether it’s for professional tuning, racing, or development purposes, you need to invest in a high-quality single-roller dynamometer, AKA dyno, so you can get the job done efficiently, safely and with greater confidence.
Here are some things you should look for in a dynamometer:
Precision
Having a good-quality dynamometer helps ensure that engine performance is more accurately measured. If you aim to make precise adjustments to achieve optimal performance levels, this kind of accuracy is absolutely essential.
Reliability
Any performance shop, race team or manufacturer worth their salt will need a good dynamometer that is reliable and consistent in its ability to deliver precise measurements. Repeated testing needs to deliver consistent results.
Safety
There is no question that you need a dynamometer that is safe. These machines are put under significant pressure when in use and they need to be able to handle it. A well-constructed dynamometer will make sure that the vehicle and the operator are safe during operation, with the capacity to handle the stresses and forces that are exerted by high-performance vehicles without any risk of failure.
Efficiency
Ultimately, what you want from a good dynamometer is to save time and resources by providing reliable data quickly and efficiently to facilitate a speedy and accurate tuning and testing process. At the end of the day, a quick dyno run means more cars in and out of the shop, generating you more revenue. If the dyno you choose can’t deliver accuracy quickly, it’s probably not a great investment.
Durability
Dynamometers endure significant strain, particularly in performance applications. Therefore, you need a dynamometer that is robust, durable and capable of withstanding regular use over time without letting you down.
Functionality
Modern dynos have a plethora of features that can measure a range of performance metrics. You want a dyno that offers it all and incorporates the latest technology and software to deliver a truly advanced experience.
