Dyno readings

[Wayne Kerr]

Anybody know what units the readings are in.
If not in HP, what's the conversion formula?

[Burty]

pressure, yes there is a conversion but don't know what it is

Dynos usually shows their readings in PSI, the conversion varies from model to model. A good Computer controlled Dyno will include many different factors in its convertet result of Kilowatt ( HP ) and Newtonmeters.

Land & Sea should make some of the best for marine engine testing:

The DYNOmite’s computer records the resultant torque at the absorber’s housing (along with the RPM) to calculate: Hp = Torque (in foot pounds) x RPM / 5,252.

Been doing some homework on this as I have just aquired one !! It is basically loading the engine with a water pump and measuring the Torque in lb's Ft !!

PS If you have a readout that is not making sense, it has probably had the wrong parameters put in the setup.
