yeah and extreme use a dastek r/r aswell,and could never get 600bhp down on their rollers in fwd form
they couldnt get traction in my car at 350bhp with new tyres and no silly camber
rolling road costs 100k but sorry pal im going to have to put 2 of the boys in the back and another 2 on the boot

Dont use a Dastek then lol No way should the tyres be breaking loose at only 350hp, unless they're bicycle tyres.

My post was:
'Gents there is nothing wrong with the Dastek Dyno & should cope with the aforementioned cars/issues with relative ease (Note: the Sitech unit is an old Sun Ram12 with a Dastek control upgrade, so doesn't have the close coupled rollers or 2.5mm pitch straight knurl)
I personally tested 740Bhp 2WD & was within 2% of the engine Dyno figures from DTW engines, however the 2WD record of just over 1000bhp goes to TweenieRob (RIP)
Like everything calibration, knowledge, application are probably more important than the equipment itself.'
The mention of sales was tongue in cheek & had a smiley at the end, sorry if it broke the rules

Hi guys,
Sorry for the lack of updates, in all honesty, towards the arse end of last year I totally and utterly lost heart with the project due to all the crappy delays and aggro. I lost heart so much that I didn't even walk into the dyno building until MARCH this year!
I've also had a few personal issues, split up with the missus and, allied to a pretty worrying health problem, it has to be said that so far, 2013 isn't my year, but ho hum, onwards we go... lets have an update.
A few images of the interior rooms. I don't have a wide angle lens to get good shots but you can see the colour scheme and carpets I guess.
The dyno arrives... a real sight for sore eyes after the 8 month wait!
Lots of unpacking and assembling follows...
Big ass 20'000cfm engine cooling fan.
And big ass 20'000cfm cell extraction fan. (We are running two of these, but the wall needs some work to get 2 in so we are running the one for now.)
Probably a good time to actually get the cell extraction fan wiring finished actually?
And finally, we roll a car on to see if it works.
View from the dyno viewing area in reception.
She works.
Tomorrow we want to get about 100 little jobs finished off and do some wiring tweaks as I don't want to be able to see any wires in here. I hate wires and will be making some adjustments to the way they are routed as standard.
Then I need to get the differential pressure sensors working so we can balance the fan inlet and outlet volumes to keep the cell at atmospheric pressure. This will ultimately be automated, but for now its manual.
So many things to do, but thankfully, the bulk of the work is now done. Bedtime for me - will do some more updates tomorrow.
