How Do You Build An Engine Dyno?
You can build a basic Engine Dyno or dynamometer to help you test the efficiency of your engine in a few steps. This is not a simple process, but with attention to detail and some skills with basic tools, these instructions will help you build a working Engine Dyno. Step 1 Mount your engine in the engine stand. Secure the engine with the attaching hardware, tighten all nuts to the specified torque on the hardware instructions. Step 2 Take both your multimeter and tachometer and arrange them on the engine so that the probes of each can easily reach several locations on the engine: glo plugs, headers and flywheel. Now using the punched metal framing rods and the car exhaust support straps, construct a small support for each meter that will hold the meter firmly above the engine and still allow the probes to reach. Step 3 Using the electrical tape, temporarily coil and attach the probes to their support frames away from any contact with the engine and out of reach of any moving parts. Sta
