Although one been more accurate than the other, could someone refer to me why they are extremely different in values?? and what would xxx amount in dynologic refer to yyy amount in dyno dynamics shoot6f

Cheers guys

Its the dyno operator...we tune at Croydon Racing in Sydney (dynodynamics) ...and at Autosalon (dynolog)the next day made 1kw less power. Both these dyno are ran by very skilled operators...hence the accurate power readings.

  • 9 months later...

Having owned and used both the Dynologic and Mainline Dynos, as well as used countless other dynos, I would have to rate the DynoLog Software (common to both DynoLogic & Mainline) the best I have ever used. The software, data logging, speed control (even tacho based speed control for autos), makes DynoLog hands down FTW.

DynoLog software, originally designed as cutting edge engine dyno software, has been modified to run as a chassis dyno. With as many inputs as you could possibly imagine, and data analysis that would satisfy the most data hungry scientist.

The differences in all the power outputs come down to a few factors, the main being atmospheric compensation (mainly AT on DD). Dyno Log dynos use their own discreet weather station, constantly sampling atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity. Dyno Dynamics dynos sample air temp from the probe, which is placed under the bonnet or other high them areas by some operators, hence 'inflating' dyno figures. Atmospheric pressure and humidity are a 'user' input, and are certainly not updated automatically, let alone real time.

One other major variation is the SAE standards used to calculate atmospheric correction. The older standard J607 is still found to be used on many dynos, and in general can read around 3-10% higher that the newer SAE standard J1349, which is what is used by most newer DynoLog dynos, and also on the Mainline/DynoLogic dynos used for the AutoSalon series.

That I think, is the difference in Dyno Dynamics (dyno for mechanics) and Mainline/Dyno Logic (dyno for technicians) Dynos.

Apart from the above atmospheric corrections, there are other 'intentional cheating' methods employed by less honest, or less educated, dyno operators, such as roller intertia values, and other rudimentary calculations...

If anyone would like to discuss my opinions, or needs some contacts with either Mainline or Dyno Logic, please do not hesitate to call.

Sam.

    • I put another 2 layers of putty and still getting pinholes. Think i might either try the filler first then putty or just leave the little specs of guidecoat as is and get primer to fill it in. I think i misread understood what you said above when you said my glazing putty wasnt enough for the size of the area. I thought you meant 1 coat and i needed to. But i think what you meant was that I needed filler first? I also went a bit too far out the repair area as my spreader is a bit large.
    • You do sorta. In my instance they were little specs and I didn't even think they'd be pin holes but it all makes sense now. Huge learnings there!
    • Ah ok that makes sense and it's where i think i went wrong because before when i put filler then putty, i didn't have this issue and now i do because i only put 1 coat of putty. Thanks for that heaps man, it's a good way to put it! With my putty I'm using the dolphin glaze which i just saw it says finishing putty lol. I didnt put filler cause it was a shallow area but i see what you're saying. Also I'm an idiot, i just realised that while i put new putty there are pinholes! I probably saw it before and ignored it for whatever reason. I think because i thought putty is used to fill pin holes that itself wont make pinholes but that's incorrect of course. I feel silly now haha. ok I think I know what to do next. Thanks man!
    • Yes correct, the guide coat is showing low spots, in this instance the low spots are pin holes. I agree wetting the areas makes it more visible (but you can see it's there before you wet it as well lol).  Once the panel is flat, the guide coat will be gone  
    • I wouldn't do it outside, the contamination landing in the paint, the wind and a million other things will drive you crazy.     That's a way too big of an area to use your single stage putty on.  Pretend it's all filler and those pin holes appeared, you'd then use the putty on those pin holes.  They are still pin holes, hmm I expect a few coats of high fill primer could deal with those.
