hi glen, if thats the cheapest dyno going then that pretty much sinks this ship dead in the water. i personally dont have any experience with your work, just from what ive heard. most say its awesome, very few have complained,im not even gonna get into that. but what i would like to know(as a consumer) is how your products compare to others, and how different products (ignitions/reeds etc) work when added togetherglen howell wrote:Stuz, I don't know you but you should not make statements you or anyone can back up,all you have herd are words.We have little or no come backs on our work,The things you have seen and herd we're mostly problems due to not checking the clearence before assembling the engines. These guys are good people but as I said they are only words .Now to get to what you are asking about Dyno testing The average Dyno shop Charges $300.00 a hr . to do good Dyno testing an average test runs $65.00 Per. Runup.Now in my case I build 7 different pipes,and 2 Different Trail port engines.1 Race engine,2 Hillclimb port job engines,1Drag race engine.We're talking about may'be $1000.00 to $1500.00 to do testing on these engines and different combinations on a chasis DYNO. and in a bike frame and changing different parts.The Dyno I have in my shop is a water brake engine Dyno for testing my porting it runs off the end of the crankshaft.I test usually about every 10 port jobs to see if my flow work is up to my standards ,I do it for my on use.The readings are a print out sheet with numbers not a graph. We test at 3000 RPM ,at 4500 RPM an6500RPM Now these readings would be of very little interest to you , But to let you know a little bit so you can have more to talk about at 3000 RPM my TRAIL port engine makes about 36 HP at 4500 RPM it makes about 47 HP and at 6500 RPM it makes Between 65 and 70Hp which as I said means nothing to you because of the change in the power band. now there you have it ,but bear in mind we do make engines that will Rev. as high as 8000RPM so as you see the power rises as the RPMs increase .

Dynos are great for tuning under WOT load PERIOD, the numbers a dyno spits out can be manipulated so many different ways its unreal, shit every different dyno manufacturer will kick out diff numbers.
On a mustang dyno my truck pulled 380 rwhp, a month later on a dyno jet dyno it pulled 415rwhp, nothing was changed on the truck and it ran and felt the exact same. It just proved to me that the numbers are to be used as a guide.
They are a tuning tool.

but using the same dyno with different setups is accurate in that it can show the changes correct?

brit you would be testing all 3 pipes on the same day, on the same dyno, at the same time one after the other.

I am so interested in this that i will throw in 100$ to the cause and make myself, parts and bike available. I think we should talk to a shop in SOCAL as i believe that maybe our best bet to get a bunch on hoons together.thestuz wrote:hi glen, if thats the cheapest dyno going then that pretty much sinks this ship dead in the water. i personally dont have any experience with your work, just from what ive heard. most say its awesome, very few have complained,im not even gonna get into that. but what i would like to know(as a consumer) is how your products compare to others, and how different products (ignitions/reeds etc) work when added togetherglen howell wrote:Stuz, I don't know you but you should not make statements you or anyone can back up,all you have herd are words.We have little or no come backs on our work,The things you have seen and herd we're mostly problems due to not checking the clearence before assembling the engines.

over here, dynos go for 60/hour.i was thinking 1 standard engine with all the pipes and maybe try it with a different ignition? and with a few hands on deck it wouldn take long to change pipes,ignitions over while the bike is still rigged up(although the pipes will need to be cooled).i was thinking it would take maybe 3 hours to just test the three main pipes(std,pc,fmf) with the different ignitions.
unfortunatly, with just me here in adelaide, its not gonna be able to happen. im sure if someone over there can find a cheaper dyno, there would be plenty of people willing to put in time and maybe contribute and it would have to be one of the most interesting topics this forum has done.
would you be prepared to put a bike up for a run? im pretty sure most blokes on this site would be itching to see all the results. even if you just rocked up with a bike,changed the wheel over and gave it a run. just figured you were keen to meet 100hp for a hill climb so you might of just had a quick dyno pull instead.
