What Is Dyno Tuning?
Dyno tuning is a methodic way of tuning an engine. Dyno tuning facilitates the tuning of your vehicle by an expert mechanic and his support team. The tune up they provide is of the finest quality and will ensure that your vehicle runs smoothly and saves fuel each times it runs and you save money in the long term. Tuning of the dyno begins with the recognition of any problem that the vehicle may have. Talking to the owner will pin point problems like lack of power, hard starting in cold or hot weather, surging or low mileage for gas.
After the talking to the customer, the team inspects the engine compression to see if the engine is sound mechanically. While at the engine inspection, the team of mechanics also look out for problems arising from dirty carburetor, oil stained, burned and stiff plug wires. That done, they check the spark plug to determine the correct heat range of the spark plug that I s right for your vehicle. Spark plugs vary from vehicle to vehicle. A truck used largely to pull a camper or a trailer will use a colder spark plug than a truck that is used for going from place to place.
A synchrograph which is a machine that tests the distributor completely is then used to test the distributor. Once they are satisfied about the performance of the distributor, the team adjusts the centrifugal advance rate to enhance the response of the engine and the power to pull and then they fix the vacuum advance to give the optimum gas mileage. Next is the turn of the ignition parts which will be inspected and replaced if wear and tear is detected. The synchrograph has now tested the distributor under real conditions and can be replaced. This process of testing is referred to as re-curving the distributor.
The driving wheels are now placed on the dyno rollers for the purpose of testing your vehicle using the dynamo-meter. With the engine running in several gears the vehicle is put through various driving conditions with varying speeds and loads. While these tests are going on, the engine performance is studied with reference to the horse power relayed to the wheels and the quantity of engine vacuum. The carburetor is studied using the "Wide Band Air Fuel Monitor". The carburetion of the carburetor undergoes tests.
While the team is running these tests we monitor the engine performance by comparing the horse power transmitted to the drive wheels in relation to the amount of engine vacuum. Faulty circuits will be changed to ensure smooth driving. It takes about six or seven hours to complete all these tests. At the end of it, a test report giving the owner a complete details. A dynamo-meter is the instrument for gauging force, torque or the twisting power that causes rotations. A dynamo-meter can be a driving one or a universal one. They serve different purposes. They are also used in regular emission tests also. Essential road-worthiness can only come with timely auto tuning. Many people sum up car care as filling a full tank and required oil changes but tuning can help you get yourself your dream car.
