How do I use this thing????

[jbeemer]

Short version of a long story

So we used to have a sound lab at work. They used it for development of dashmats for cars. They tried to use a dyno to test them to see how much they improved. That didn't work so well...…….fast forward 15 years. Them-We need that dyno out of the room for more space. Me-I know where it can go . Never thought that it would happen, but ended up making a deal and buying it.

The good news, It's only had about a dozen cars on it.

The bad, The last time the PC was turned on was 8 years ago , But it was updated in 2002

Got it home today and powered up the PC...……….IT LIVES

Next steps will be, 1: getting water to cool it, 2: bolt it to a vehicle, 3: figure out that I have no clue have to run it.

I plan on making this thread into a learning curve/shop project kinda thread. So any advice, pointers, and training is fully appreciated

That's a pretty cool new toy! I'll enjoy watching your progress.

Nice! Is that one of the "water brake" dyno's? Looks like a fun project.

It's hydraulic resistance for load. The water is to cool it. That way it can run continuous instead of just "pulls"
