To build a dynamometer, decide on the type of engine testing needed. Engine-only dynos are simple and require less space and equipment, while drive-thru dynos require more attention to detail. Engine-only dynos measure power and torque at the flywheel, not at the driver wheel, making them less accurate for testing a vehicle’s true performance. Dynos […]
Different types of dynamometer tests are used to measure engine power, propeller thrust, and shock absorber damping. Chassis dynos provide a real-world test method for accurate power level results, while shock dynos test shock performance under simulated track conditions. There are several types of dynamometer test styles used to measure an engine’s power and torque, […]
