Supragal Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Does anyone know what the limits are size wise for a hub dyno? I've been told I can't use one but I've not actually tried, it would be hugely expensive and a waste of time to find out it didn't fit... Anyone know?

JODY T Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 RIng thor, they have a hub dyno, perhaps they couls measure it for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 AFAIK the actual units that bolt up to the hubs are independant so there shouldn't be any width limit if that's what you mean? You just move them further apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Does anyone know what the limits are size wise for a hub dyno? Why would you go for a hub dyno Rosie? Looking for an inflated figure for an eBay add? Surrey Roling Road are local (ish) to you and have proved to give very accurate figures in the past.

Gazboy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Rosie there's a SRR shootout with PH in July, you're welcome to pop down, details in the japchat main forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 The problem Rosie may have is the drive shafts on the absorption units are quite short. I think she has a wide arch kit on the car, and if it's wildly wide the shafts on the absorption units may not be long enough to bolt to the (now very inset) rear hub flanges on the car, without the boxes of the absorption units fouling the wheel arches. If Dyna Pack have a web site it may give technical drawings with the required dimensions. If not a friend of mine has a Dyna pack, I can ask him when I am back what hub inset they can handle. The Scandinavian made Rota Test units may be am alternative, but there are VERY few in the UK as they are so expensive. I think they have a longer shaft on them... ?

Nodalmighty Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Try Race Shack (http://www.raceshack.com), they have a state of the art 2000bhp mustang dyno with proper road and 1/4 mile simulation. I use this facility to map these days as it's as close to the road as you'll get on a dyno and the figures are sensible. Lyndon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
