Where i live there are no Dynos and i was jsut curious on how much it costs for a Dyno Spread tune. And also jsut about what figure do you guys estimate an antual Dyno Machine Costs ( not gonna buy one incase u guys have the wrong idea)... just curious

 

A dyno with wideband a/f ratio costs somewhere between 35 and 100 bucks. With a tune it costs alot more, between 300 and 500, maybe more ifyou get a handheld and the shop is proud.

A dyno itself costs alot.

 

I wish we had a Dyno here in bahamas... so what is the best way to get a read and a tune with out a dyno with out one of those handheld chips i dont trust umm

 

a really really good a/f meter, and not one of hte generic lightshows either. I beilve good ones run around 400=500 bucks.

 

you mean a wideband eugo. stay away from the narrowband A/F guages they tell you nothing. they just bounce arounf and make a light show.

 

A dyno (Mustang Dyno) will run you around $24,000 I was looking into it a while ago out of boredom, I didn't look up DynoJet.

With a friend you can safely tune it yourself though, you'll want (preferrably) a laptop, with a handheld tuner, and the key ingredient being a WIDEBAND oxygen sensor.

Start with settings that you KNOW will be rich, and way back on the timing... first fix the A/F ratio, then bump up the timing a little bit at a time, watching the a/f ratio each pass and adjusting as necessary... when you get so much timing that you're starting to ping, back it down a few degrees, take a final pass to be sure your a/f is in check... and you should be good to go. Timing and A/F ratio are the only things adjusted with a tune.

 

Dynos are a waste of money...$650 w/tune for self satisfaction is a crock.
I only had mine dynoed beacause it was free. Thats what my friends do.
They charge $500 just to drive your car up on the platform, and $75hr.
Take about 2 hours.
