Dyno Tuning Tips you should consider before
you book in
One of the most common problems
that we see when Dyno tuning a vehicle is the lack of basic car
preparation the simplest things can be so early over looked.
Simple things like: underfrom performing fuel pumps, Fuel press
regulators, to smaller fuel lines, exposed wiring & so on lets
look at af few items to help you out:
•Fuel System Carbies or Injectors: too small / too large / bad
spray pattern / dirty injectors / Float levers too high/ too
low
•Ignition System ( not enough ignition energy / poor power supply /
poor grounding / old leads loose Spark plug tops)
•Spark plugs ( incorrect heat range /
old / fouled / worn electrodes )
•Compression Ratio ( too high / too low for maximum efficiency
)
•Fuel ( not enough in the tank to complete tuning sessions - please
deliver car with full tank )
•Fuel ( incorrect octane number -stale fuel remember the fuel
you have in your tank must be what you are going to use
)
And there are many more ....
The short list above are just a few out of many possible weak links
that can be exposed when a vehicle is put on the Dyno and run at
full power and RPM.
The reason why these issues do not surface before a tune, is that
most vehicles are not run at high RPM and high load under normal
operating conditions for more than just a few seconds. On the
Dyno, the engine may be run for slightly longer periods, exposing
these shortcomings.
The good news is, that most of these problems are easy to rectify,
and you will be glad that any issues are found and resolved while
the vehicle is on a Dyno.
You can help make your Dyno experience even better by having a look
over your engine well before running your car on the Dyno, just to
see if you notice anything that may cause a problem.
If you can fix it, or replace a part before the Dyno session, even
better. If you can't, it's really important that you tell the
me (the Dyno operator) that you may suspect a problem before
booking the car in, and once again on the day of the tune, so that
I can take a look at the problem before it becomes a bigger
problem, that may jepperdise your investment and give me theDyno
opperator & tuner every opportunity to make a sound judgment on
weather or not I believe your vehicle is ready to be run-up on the
Dyno.
