they usually lease them to you for a monthly charge. go to dynojet.com. they are usually in excess of 50k but you can find them used sometimes for 20k

I'd go with teh dynojet...A guy close me has a dynopack(watercooled and everything).

The dynopack puts out way less HP than the dynojet

plus the dynopack is spendy. The good thing is that it's more portable than a dynojet

What the hell is wrong with your English dude!


I don't th nk most people can afford a dyno, the cost of installation, or the cost of the upkeep and maintenance ...so I don't see the logic of this post

I was following the English which has been displayed in this post, It seems that know one can spell of string words together in a fashion which make sense.
Chill out ! , My English is pretty good, I am English !

we use a land and sea dyno. It is a double roller and seems like it has better traction then some of the single rollers. It also spins both ways so U can use it as a engine dyno for a honda as well.

they did.

maybe contact JG as I dont know if they use their dyno anymore. Maybe buying a used one might fit the budget better.

here, I'll answer this post honestly.

You're considering a large investment, but just by having the dyno does not mean you'll have customers. I was the second in my area to have a dyno, the only one to advertise it, and it still was a flop for 2.5 years. You need to make sure there is a market for it first and foremost. Second, just having it and advertising it, along with a market, doesnt mean you know anything about tuning, and it means less that anyone will trust you to dyno their cars to learn on them. Finally, expect to spend about 38-45k for everything you need to get started.

we use a land and sea dyno...
I was surfing their site and clicked the box to receive a catalog. They sent me a huge catalog and CD-Rom. Then the guys kept emailing me. They seem very eager to help.
