how far would you go for $50 per hr dyno pulls?

[ADAM]

The real questions is....

Would you drive 1hr north of Toronto (Alliston) to use a chassis dyno for $50 per hour?

comments? ideas?

any favourite dyno makes? and why?

any other dyno ideas?

thanks for your input...

[Do It Sidewayz]

in a word....YES

[gatherer]

YES I would ... I need dyno time...

[Logan]

YES, but not regularly.

[kmorris]

Yes, as long as an O2 trace is included. Not super-often though; maybe once per year.

Is that $50/hr including the operator or is it self serve?

we've had an annual TAC dyno night for about $45 for 2 runs (much less than 1 hour) as I recall that is usually well attended.

At that price you could use it as a tuning and development tool rather than a novelty.

I'd like to see a 4wd dyno although I expect the incremental cost would be hard to justify.

[ADAM]

it would include an operator and wide band o2 sensor..and boost sensor....no 4wd though

[glh]

It would be too far to go for this guy you would have to set aside at least 1/2 a day for a couple of pulls

[slucas]

What is an average cost for dyno time (in Toronto)?

[Logan]

I believe it's in the range of $100 - $140 /hr including O2.

[Chris P]

yes.

PS, need an operator

[Dave]

dyno time in the GTA is usually about $75/hour without a wideband 02 sensor...most shops charge a $50 hook-up fee to use the 02 sensor, but I don't think that applies hourly (at least not at the shops I've used).

Adam, I would gladly drive to Alliston to use your dyno since it's not the sort of thing I do every week. I would personally prefer a Dynapack or a Mustang dyno, rather than an inertia-style dyno like a Dynojet. I'm not a big fan of Dynojets primarily because you can't load and hold the engine at a specific rpm level like you can on a Dynapack or Mustang dyno. This really limits the value of a Dynojet as a tuning tool, IMO. If you had a Dynapack or Mustang, I'd be there regularly My first choice would be a Dynapack since it takes the wheel/tire package out of the equation.

Alliston is fine with me!,personally I think too many people are too lazy-won't drive an hour to support someone trying to help them?.

[Chris91GT]

Sure thing.

[Chris P]

Dyna Pack rules the school.
