Don't Go to PowerFab and get dynoed

Synack · 07-24-2011, 10:18 PM

They may be the nicest in people in the world but their DynoJet is flat out broken. It failed to work on both my 2010 Nismo and Ron's 2011 Nismo.

Here's proof:

If you're still confused. Those numbers are in and out, all over the place, and the Nismo revs to 7500rpm where I "should" be making my best power.

They say the have an AWD mustang dyno. Will the AWD part affect my results?

There's a well-maintained Dyno Dynamics over at EngineLogics on the SW side of town too, I highly recommend them for dyno runs.

Did they explain what the issue was?

They said the issue was my car. HIGHLY unlikely being how new it is. Ron's Nismo did the same thing. He might've gotten up to 7000rpm, MAYBE. His car is BRAND new. I didn't complain, I just won't go back. They took time out their day and did everything properly (from what I saw). I just will be going to JTran or DD now.

I don't know. But they ran the car through out the whole RPM band all the way up until 7500, on the car. But the dyno didn't read much after 6000.

under 10,000. Ron's have full tread and he had similar results.

Wouldn't a Mustang AWD dyno read around those numbers, since they usually come out lower then most?

I don't know what the deal is about the AWD part but yeah mustang dyno "typically" run a bit lower than DynoJet.

A dyno is a tuning tool and not bragging rights. Synack, I'm wondering if the pick-up wire (reads tq/rpm) was picking up two sets of spark plugs.
