BHR Attending AZMC Mini-Dyno Day
November 18th, 2009
Be sure to stay tuned to our live section on Saturday, November 21st from 10am to approx 6pm MST for coverage of the Arizona Mazda Club’s mini-dyno day! Currently Todd’s nitrous powered RX8 will be one of the Rotary cars on the dyno as well as various other Mazda vehicles including a LS2 powered Miata! The dyno day will be held at UMS Tuning in Tempe using their DynaPack dyno.
This is not a Black Halo Racing sponsored event however we felt that this would be an opportunity to showcase some of our local community vehicles and have a good time doing it!
That’s a pretty wacky dyno. I’ve never seen one like this before. I guess it works, but I’d be a bit worried about what would happen if that jack would give out. It’s also kinda cheating since you’re not applying road-force
You need not worry Mark, this dyno is the real deal. The Dynapack is a load bearing dyno. The one that UMS uses is within 1% of most dynojet units so it’s very accurate. The jack is mearly a safety device as the dyno fits on both hubs and it holds the weight of the car.
The advantage of a dynapack is it can do both 2wd and 4wd cars and it’s also highly portable. The load bearing features means you can set a particular RPM and it will load the vehicle up for precise tuning.
