Title: Dyno-Shaft Home Dyno ?
Post by: F Body on November 24, 2011, 07:49:29 am

Know idea if this works or how accurate it is (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/dontknow.gif)

But I like the idea (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/wink.gif)

Unless you happen to own a dyno, accurately keeping track of which modifications benefit your vehicle may be a seat-of-the-pants operation. AEM is hoping to change that for people who are serious about wringing the absolute most out of their vehicle with the Dyno-Shaft (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

The Dyno-Shaft uses grade-strain gauges to measure horsepower and torque at the transmission output shaft, so AEM maintains that the system's readings aren't impacted by variables that typically skew accelerometer readings (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

AEM says that the the data broadcast device for the system is non-contact, doesn't use slip rings and needs no batteries (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)

Buyers simply install the supplied slip-yolk as well as a drive-shaft speed sensor and get going. Data is transmitted via a CAN-bus communications network to a data logger or an AEM engine management system. Prices start at $1,160.96 for cast-iron slip yolk applications, and AEM says that each Dyno-Shaft is specifically calibrated for your application.

I like the idea  

Me too.

But it's probably cheaper to take your car to a Dyno !!!

That sounds like you can't use it across your fleet (unless they're all the same). (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/down.gif)
