Where do you go to get Dyno'd?

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 9:36 pm

I want to get my car Dyno'd before I start on the performance mods next summer. I have no idea what sort of place would have that, or how much it would cost.

What would i look for in the yellow pages, or would I have to find out by word of mouth?

Find a performance shop and just ask the people that work there. If they don't have one, they're likely to know someone who does. Make sure you mention your looking for an all wheel drive dyno....

Isn't Ion performance in the Vancouver area?

Travel expenses to Vancouver run over $100

So apparently there arent any four wheel dyno's in BC.

How accurate a reading will I get if I put in the FWD fuse and do a 2 wheel?

Well there are but it sounds like they are too expensive for you. But seriously, if you are in Victoria, what you really are looking for is a dyno on the island, not a dyno in BC. Anything not on the island is going to require taking the ferry, which is where I assume the $100 expense comes in...

Precisely.

However, according to a fellow on another board, there are actually NO 4 wheel dyno's anywhere in BC

Doesnt sound right to me now that I come to think of it tho

if you ever decide to come stateside, there's a couple in the seattle area, and a couple down in portland.

Well Im gonna be coming down this summer, but I wanted to get a baseline dyno done before I started modding, so I could see exactly how far I'd come.

I was talking to a guy at Lord Co today, and apparently there are NO dynos anywhere in south vancouver island. Not even two wheelers.

They all went out of business

I've heard that Rocket Rally up at Squamish has or is about
to have a 4wd dyno.

Phoned to confirm, but no answer-- must be closed for today.

Will advise

Still

$100 for the ferry, $80+ for the dyno, $20+ for the gas to get there and back, plus a whole day.

Perhaps Ill just go on the assumption that the car is more or less sitting at 160 hp

You could take a timed run up the Malahat for the "before"
and "after"--trying for same temperature days.

The main benefit of the dyno is accurate tuning.
