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.

    • Cheers fellas, I got a price for a r33 gtst box was 1500 including post and thought it was too cheap  
    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
