Small Engine Dyno In Action

[siktown]

Ive been in that shop before, he builds killer engines.

[JimAbbett]

It's a standard #35 chain.

Is that a v-belt? Seems to be running really smooth.

[JimAbbett]

We haven't raced in two years. Haven't been back to Speed Creek since.

[MavisRacing]

hey jim how come u dont video tape races at speed creek2 anymore?

[JimAbbett]

The dyno is a buddy of mine's. I don't know much about it. I'll stick to engines and clutches. He was nice enough to allow me some dyno time.

Man, get a cage on that wheel... we have one and we've blown a wheel up too... It is a huge mess. Cage the dyno wheel... I can tell you for sure that even if this is a WKA legal motor, with no plate, it's not over 12 hp.

[JimAbbett]

This was a WKA legal motor with a blue restrictor plate.

What do you mean by a mess? At what rpms exploded?

[Chevypower265]

How much did it cost to build a dyno like this?

[JimAbbett]

I think the flywheel is 20" or 22" and weighs about 200 pounds.

The HP numbers are a secret! It doesn't matter anyway. All dyno's read differently. So, comparing readings from 2 different dyno's is like comparing apples to oranges. Some builders like to fudge the HP numbers as this can create higher engine sales.

what did this one run? just .. a basic idea?... 2 digits?

[Mandelbiten]

how big is the flywheel??
