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 purchased some (used but new to me) Yokohama A050 Mediums to try out for the first time and fitted them up to one of my sets of Rays TE Fortesst's. Sizes are 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear. They are very chonky compared to the same sized AD09 on the same sized rim. Some fiddling will be needed to make them fit. How much camber do these like as a general rule? I imagine more than the rear camber of -1.5' I typically run. So my plan is to target -3.8 front and -2 rear
    • If you want to test it under temperature, I think you should enter the One Raceway day tomorrow with Duncan!
    • That looks great Mark!
    • Yeah yeah, the oven did get a good clean after the "baking"...LOL In other, wrinkle black painted stuff news, expansion tank and PS reservoir all fitted up and tested at temp Much nicer than the yellow stained plastics   
    • You now say stumble, but you said cut out before. Will it slow rev through the cut/stumble? What gap were your spark plugs set to when you them in?
