dynotechjim Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 in 1986 I bought a $50K Superflow computerized engine dyno like used by most NASCAR race teams. I spent a year modifying the dyno to enable me to test motorcycle, snowmobile, and ATV engines without removing the engines from the chassis in a facility in western NY. I have a heavy hydraulic lift to hold the chassis, and a light driveshaft system to transfer power from crank/ trans output shafts to the dyno absorber. Result is perfect repeatability, no tire slip or estimated drum value, just RPM and torque, combined with actual fuel flow, airflow etc. This is great fun. I've got all of this primarily sled testing over 20 years on my website, lots of tech info done for us by Kevin Cameron, and we have live screaming video 24/7 showing control room/ dyno room. Today and tomorrow I have a Banshee on the dyno, ported cylinder, Dynoport pipes, bored carbs. Tomorrow at 9am est were going to baseline test again, then roll timing around to max HP. For fun anyone who'd like to watch this on dynocams (and see other two-stroke technical stuff) log onto DynoTechResearch.com click on "subscriber pages", USER ID... banshee PASSWORD... freeview case sensitive click on "live audio/ video of dyno room" Hope this is enjoyable for Banshee technoids, for some it's more fun to watch than porn.
