CHAPTER 2 How Your Dyno Works HOW YOUR DYNO WORKS ................................... Dynojet’s inertia dynamometer (dyno) is a measuring device for recording and displaying power and torque of an engine. Its method of measurement directly implements the engineering principles of power and torque.
DYNO AND WINPEP BASICS How Your Dyno Works point of rotation to where the force is being applied. Torque is the product of the force and the moment arm. For example think about trying to spin a drum by wrapping a rope around the drum and then pulling on the rope. If the rope is wrapped around a drum of one foot radius and pulled with 550 pounds of force, the resulting torque is 550 foot-pounds. The torque on the dyno’s drum can be calculated by multiplying the force applied by the drum’s radius.

CHAPTER 4 MAKING A RUN Dynojet’s advanced engineering delivers the precise horsepower measurements you need to make quick and accurate evaluations of engine performance and drive train problems. This chapter describes how to make dyno runs that provide safe, reliable road testing right in the shop.
CHAPTER 4 Making a Run MAKING A RUN ................................... Your Dynojet dynamometer combined with WinPEP 7 produces consistent, easily interpretable power graphs. Use the following instructions to ensure repeatable and accurate measurements. Note: For detailed information on how to load your vehicle on the dyno, connect the RPM pickups, and make any pre-run inspections, refer to your dynamometer installation guide. MAKING A TEST RUN 1 2 3 4 5 6 Start WinPEP 7 and go to the MakeRun screen.
MAKING A RUN Making a Run MAKING A RUN 1 Start and warm up the vehicle. To ensure repeatable and accurate measurements, the engine crank case must be at normal operating temperature. Note: Skilled operators perform at least three roll-on tests to assure the vehicle is fully warmed up to operating temperature. All three run graphs should overlay each other when the vehicle is at the correct temperature. When the vehicle is operating the exhaust system will be very hot.
CHAPTER 4 Making a Run 4 You may change the run directory. 4a Click the MakeRun Configuration button 4b Choose a run directory. 4c Click OK. . Refer to Figure 4-1. run directory choose a run directory Figure 4-2: Making a Run—Change Run Directory 5 4-4 WinPEP 7 User Guide Release the dyno brake and the vehicle’s parking brake (if applicable).
MAKING A RUN Making a Run 6 7 8 Begin acceleration. • Standard Transmission—Place the vehicle in first gear and engage the clutch to start the drum rolling. Shift through gears to fourth and hold the RPM at the desired point. A good starting RPM is at the lowest RPM where there is little hesitation when you snap the throttle all the way open or floor the accelerator (usually around 2000 to 3000 RPM). • Automatic Transmission—Start the drum(s) rolling and accelerate to ten m.p.h.
CHAPTER 4 Making a Run Using the vehicle’s rear brake to stop the drum at speeds over 30 m.p.h. can severely overheat the rear brake parts. Dynojet dynamometers with the mechanical brake, air brake, or eddy current brake accessory can be used to slow the vehicle and drum to a full stop at any speed. The vehicle’s brake should be used in an emergency stop situation only. By default, a graph of your run will appear.
MAKING A RUN Making a Run—Negative Horsepower MAKING A RUN—NEGATIVE HORSEPOWER ................................... The dynamometer calculates horsepower (positive) by measuring how fast the drums accelerate. If drum deceleration was measured and graphed, we would be viewing negative horsepower. In order to show negative values on your graphs you need to turn this option on. GRAPHING NEGATIVE VALUES 1 Choose Tools !Graph Options graph and choose Properties. !Properties.
CHAPTER 4 Making a Run—Negative Horsepower NEGATIVE HORSEPOWER TEST—DRIVE TRAIN Performing the test in this example may exceed some vehicle’s design specifications. Check with the vehicle manufacturer before performing negative horsepower tests such as this one. This test could result in severe damage to your vehicle. Negative horsepower can measure how much power is absorbed by your drive train and other parasitic losses (transmission, drive shaft, and tire friction).
MAKING A RUN Making a Run—Negative Horsepower NEGATIVE HORSEPOWER TEST—DIFFERENT BRANDS OF OIL Different brands of oil can be tested using negative horsepower. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Warm engine and oil.
