Hub Dyno at Pinnacle Tuning
 
In our quest to squeeze every last drop of power from our customers’ engines, we decided against using an engine dyno and opted for a hub dyno. We wanted a measurement tool that would deliver better accuracy, enhanced control and sensitivity and greater speed. In essence, we wanted to create ‘laboratory conditions’ to enable us to get the very best results.
 
The Dyno
 
The Hub Dyno offers our customer all of that and more. As a chassis dyno, the Dynapack couples directly to the wheel hubs and applies a precisely controlled hydraulic load. This method of direct coupling, plus its built-in strength, results in a huge number of benefits over a rolling road.
 
 
The Capabilities
 
Combined, the equipment is able to measure, in real-time, the engine torque, air intake temperatures, turbo boost pressures and the air/fuel ratio. BHP is also calculated and corrected to British DIN standards
Total control – direct hub contact and precise hydraulic load
Cost effective – quick and no direct tyre contact
Safe and stress-free – 2 to 30 sec. runs for all data types
Precise engine results– no inertia to mask results
Accuracy – greatly improved sensitivity and no wheel slippage
Repeatable – accurate back-to-back runs within 0.3%
 
All of this means that we can find ways to tweak the engine for maximum power output, and analyse faults that are only apparent when driving under load, in ways that ordinary rolling road Dyno operators cannot. What’s more, it enables us to tune and remap in a fraction of the time… all without wearing out your tyres!
