Second Hand Dyno Acquisition
looking at purchasing a second hand Dynojet.
facts
cheap
no computer or software
no retardation device
no o2 setup
possibly no module and cables
12 hours drive away
can add o2 and eddy current retarder easily (but not cheaply) at a later date
software for Dynojet seems to be available for a nominal fee once you give the company the serial numbers
considering the effort and expense required to build an inertia dyno and put in suitable sensors this may be a good option.
BOUGHT IT
Finally the Dyno is in place after 18 hours at the wheel, solo, jacked up on red bull, flu tablets, pain killers (back ache) and apples.
I have sent the serial numbers to the Dynojet people in America and we shall see what exactly we have here.
Meanwhile I must work out the inertia of the roller to allow internetscooter to adapt his software to suit.
