Does anyone out there have knowledge about this dyno or have a parted out one? I have one im looking to get back functional. Thanks in advance
I would be interested in seeing pictures of it. I had a small Go Power dyno back in the 70s that spurred my interest enough that I ended up buying a bigger one in the midst 80s. I have software, if you want it, to answer the torque readings and get a HP readout along with a chart. If you have the temperature and barometric pressure it will give you corrected HP readings. Just enter those 2 numbers and the software does the math. You can be assured that the calculations and the chart are as accurate as the data you feed it.Does anyone out there have knowledge about this dyno or have a parted out one?

This is the only video of the one I have look it up it seems to already do the hp and tourqe but you might be meaning something else
Go to YouTube and type in the name of the video. Also no print out but it has two gauges. RPM and pounds. Pounds is the foot pounds of tourqe. Its a simple equation from there. # of pounds × RPM ÷ 1000 = HP. Basically the same thing except it will not work for millennials.I guess you're seeing something I don't see. I see a picture of the RPM gauge/tachometer, and a picture of the dyno. I don't see any other gauges. Does it do a print out? Does it show the torque curve and the HP curve on a monitor? Are the torque readings corrected for barometric pressure and temperature? Without these things the curves are virtually worthless! Now I know you're probably mad at me, but things are what things are. Regardless of what you may be thinking to the contrary, I'm only trying to help. I've been through all this before and I know how frustrating it can become.
Also whats the red line and the blue line. I do like the print out idea for sureI'll send some pics Tomorrow my wife just moved it in the attic cause she didn't know I was about to start messing with it. Right now all I have it the round part. My mother in law has the base. We always just used it as a base to break in fresh engines. Had no idea what the heck it was lol.
Torque X RPM / 5252.1 = HP. In this equation the torque is measured in foot-pounds. Your equation probably comes from the fact that the torque arm in your dyno is less than 1 foot. My equation uses foot-pounds of torque. The software is very easily calibrated for any length of torque arm. Does your dyno use acquisition software? Does it give you a print out? Do you have any idea of your timeframe till you start producing data?Go to YouTube and type in the name of the video. Also no print out but it has two gauges. RPM and pounds.

Go to Wikipedia and look up "horsepower". The term was first coined by James Watt's back in the 1800s as a way of letting farmers know how much work his harvesting machine could do compared to a horse.It's straight analog. Just dial gauges from the stone ages. Check out Go What is a tourqe arm? The equation I was using was the equation stamped on the front of the dyno. Ill get a few more pics from the site and post em for you to see
The torque arm is less than a foot i had that same dyno at one timeTorque X RPM / 5252.1 = HP. In this equation the torque is measured in foot-pounds.

I'm here to help if you need it.
Is is a DY 70 or a DY 7DDoes anyone out there have knowledge about this dyno or have a parted out one? I have one im looking to get back functional. Thanks in advance
Let me get back to you on that. I will pull it out of the attic and look.Is is a DY 70 or a DY 7D
