Dyno your car at the Mitty

This just in: The friendly faces at DIYAutoTune will bring their portable chassis dyno to the Mitty. More details to be posted soon.

Kewl!

I wonder if Mongo will fit.

Matt can confirm, but pretty sure it's a Dynapak meaning most vehicles will fit. Not sure that includes busses, though.

Oooh . . . What to bring to spin the rollers . . . .

I so want to dyno my car, but am afraid it will break my engine...........damn.

Are you afraid to run through the gears at full throttle? Because that's all a simple dyno run is. Only it's just one gear.

I'm pretty sure we don't have the right bolt pattern adapter for a bus. A Dynapak is a hub dyno, so we use adapters to bolt on in place of the wheels. We've got adapters to fit conventional 4 and 5 lug bolt patterns and a few 6-lug designs.

Too bad I don't still have the snot rocket. It was always fun to see people's reaction to that on the dyno.

Hub dyno? So I can't run on the rollers like a lumberjack?

  BLT Tacos announcement pik

LOL - not what I expected to see when I clicked on this thread.

Karl - you're welcome to use our glamour shot as part of your BLT Taco marketing campaign, but we expect our royalties to be paid-in-full in the form of a BLT Taco, each.

Let's see... dyno runs, David Hobbs, BLT Tacos, and the usual hooliganism - this year's Mitty is going to be the shiznit!

I should bring the MR2 again so everyone can be amazed at the double-digit numbers it throws down on the dyno. All the Geo Metros will be devastated!

I'm afraid to rev my car up to that high of an RPM.

Then you just ask the dyno operator to only take it to X RPM.

BLT tacos. I'm proud to be an American again. And I don't even have to ASK if I can have double jalapenos. There's plenty of room in the Hong Mahal, laydees.

Will that give an accurate measure?
