WHY DYNO TEST AN ENGINE?
• It is easier and cheaper to test and tune an engine on the dyno than on the
road/track. In the long-run, the money spent will pay off as you optimize your
engine configuration and identify any problems before they become a
catastrophic failure.
• Engine dyno testing allows you to:
• Safely break-in a new engine.
• Optimize your torque, horsepower, and air-fuel ratio.
• Set your ignition timing, oil pressure, carb, lash and cam timing and test supporting
systems.
• Detect leaks, vibration, noise, and test the effectiveness of cooling, lubrication, and
controllability.
• Compare engine output with different engine components.

1. SET TESTING GOALS
• Why do you want to perform dyno test?
• What is the key elements you wish to get? Expected output ?
• Write down ambiguous vs clear test goals
• Racing, competitions, F1, SAE etc
• Maybe to break in a new engine build
• Destructive vs non-destructive testing.
• Reliability testing
• Testing/ tuning to new components; camshafts, carbs, header, air induction system, fuel
blends, gasket.
• Check for noise & vibration
• Setting timing & optimize for specific fuel
• Testing the effectiveness of cooling system
• Cheaper/cost effective, controlled environment & safer on dyno vs road test.

• Cooling system may have Trapped air- inaccurate T reading, lead water
pump cavitation
• Purge air out-radiator cap off/lever vent radiator cap
• Exhaust port, carb flange, securely strapped.
• Engine mounting
• Crate, cargo

4. TEST COMPONENTS
10
• Piston, rings, liner
• Combustion chamber design
• CAM & Valve design
• Gasket reliability
• Fuel delivery system
• Intake / Induction system
• Exhaust / aftertreatment system

N.Tamaldin© 2021

5. HEADERS & EXHAUST
• Use Standard spec unless test focus
on them
• Intake runner design – may requires
various config
• Exhaust port design also need
variations for optimization
11
N.Tamaldin© 2021

6. SPARE PARTS
• Depending on type of testing
• Some component testing
need multiple spare parts
esp. for destructive testing
12
N.Tamaldin© 2021

7. FUEL & LUBRICANTS
• Pre testing preparation
• During Testing monitoring
• Post Testing preparation
13
N.Tamaldin© 2021
