General Civic Talk - DYNO

OK what does DYNO stand for and where can i get one done???? like preferrably in TN, lol

its short for dynamometer

any local tuner shop should be able to direct you to the closest one.

and you have gone to one right???... if so what did they do?

yeah... a few times. They put your car on a treadmill kinda thing and hook it up to a computer. It reads your HP and torque in a chart form... showing levels at every RPM so that you can see where your powerband is. theya also set it up to check your air/fuel ratio to make sure you arent running too lean. It also measures emissions and stuff.

For instance...I will have my supercharger on very soon. After I get it put on I will do a dyno run with the stock airbox, then a run with the cold air intake. This way I can see exactly how much power the CAI gives me and at what RPMs the increase in power is at. If you do alot of modding then its a great help because it lets you "tune" your stuff. Makes sure its all running at its maximum output.
