 New  ‘Dynotech  4WD’  makes  dyno  ownership  an  affordable  reality  for  workshops  

 Dyno  Dynamics,  Australia’s   leading  manufacturer  of  vehicle  dynamometers,  has   released  a  new  budget-­‐priced  high  quality  4WD  dyno  that  costs  around  40  per  cent  less  than  premium  priced  competitors.        The  new  Dynotech  4WD  maintains  the  same  premium  grade  materials,  components  and  structural  integrity  found  in  more  expensive  Dyno  Dynamics  models,   but   a  more   simplified  and   streamlined  production  process  has   resulted   in  considerable  savings  in  manufacturing  costs.    The   Dynotech   4WD   is   designed   to   suit   a   wide   range   of   all-­‐wheel   drive   vehicles,   from   high   performance   Japanese  imported  sedans  like  the  Subaru  WRX,  Mitsubishi  EVO  and  Nissan  GT-­‐R  to  all  types  of  SUVs  to  the  largest  Ford  F350  or  Chevrolet  Silverado  4x4  pickup  trucks.    It  will  work  equally  as  well  with  conventional  2WD  cars,  be  they  front-­‐wheel  drive  or  rear-­‐wheel  drive  models.    The   simple  and   rugged  design  of   the  value-­‐packed  Dynotech  4WD  consists  of   front  and   rear  500  Series  2WD  dyno  beds,  joined  together  by  a  series  of  interlocking  steel  ‘fingers’  that  can  slide  within  each  other  to  adjust  the  distance  between  the  two  beds.    These  fingers  form  a  strong  central  platform  which  a  vehicle  can  be  driven  across  to  access  the  front  dyno  bed,  then  with   the   push   of   a   button   the   platform’s   length   can   be   easily   extended   or   retracted   to   line   up   the   vehicle’s   back  wheels  with  the  rear  rollers.    The  robust  electronics  have  also  been  redesigned  with  new  software  and  a  more  simplified  operating  system,  so  that  all  vehicle  tuning  requirements  can  now  be  done  externally  using  a  laptop  computer.    The  Dynotech  4WD  can  safely   replicate  driven   speeds  of  up   to  250  km/h  and  each  dyno  bed  can  withstand  power  outputs   of   up   to   1,200   horsepower   individually,   giving   the   dyno   a   combined   power   output   capacity   of   2,500  horsepower.    It   is  manufactured   in  Australia  using  the  highest  quality  materials,   including  Frenelsa  magnetic   retarder  units  which  are  widely  regarded  as  the  best  available  in  the  world.      The  four  high  precision  steel  rollers,  which  can  rotate  at  speeds  up  to  6000  rpm,  are  made  by  Dyno  Dynamics  in-­‐house  and  dynamically  balanced  to  the  same  exacting  tolerances  as  gas  turbines.      They  also  feature  specially  machined  facings  designed  to  create  the  same  co-­‐efficient  of  friction  as  tyres  on  bitumen  so  that  all  readings  are  as  ‘real  world’  as  possible.    It   comes   with   a   12   month   Dyno   Dynamics   factory   warranty   and   is   backed   by   a   quality   range   of   spare   parts   and  accessories.    According  to  Dyno  Dynamics  managing  director,  Alan  Evans,  the  value-­‐packed  Dynotech  4WD  has  been  designed  to  find  solutions  to  cost  and  work  safety  challenges  faced  by  today’s  automotive  garage  owners.    

“The  ability  to  get  out  and  road  test  a  customer’s  car  these  days  is  becoming  more  and  more  difficult,  because  finding  a  local  road  on  which  you  can  legally  do  more  than  100km/h  is    not  easy,”  he  said.        “There  is  always  the  risk  of  mechanics  getting  speeding  fines  or  even  worse  crashing  a  car  doing  this  kind  of  diagnostic  and  tuning  work.    “And  some  customers  are  just  not  happy  that  their  car  is  out  on  the  road  being  driven  around  by  someone  they  don’t  know  has  the  competency  to  drive  it  safely.    “These  workplace   risks   also   require   proprietors   to   have   substantial   insurance   cover   in   the   event   of   an   accident   or  personal  injury,  which  can  attract  premiums  costing  many  thousands  of  dollars  a  year.    “On  a  dyno  you  can  do   in  10  minutes  what   it  could   take  you  an  hour   to  do  on  the  road,   there’s  no  risk  of   fines  or  crashes  and  insurance  premiums  can  be  greatly  reduced.    “The  Dynotech   4WD  has   been   priced   to  make   it   an   affordable   option   for  many   businesses,  with   the   kind   of   build  quality  that  can  withstand  the  daily  rigours  of  dyno  work  and  the  toughest  of  working  conditions  year  after  year.”    For  more  information  visit  the  Dyno  Dynamics  website  at  www.dyno.com.au
