Anyone have any experience with these guys?
they are not too far from me and am getting a Dyno done this saturday before i start on some tweaking, just wondered if anyone has any good bad things to say about them.
cheers

I had my car tested on a Dyno Dynamics rolling road as I was interested to see what it was producing.
The car is three years old (2008) and has covered 18,200 miles.
There are three graphs.
1) Calculated engine BHP and torque at the flywheel
2) BHP & torque at the wheels
3) BHP and...
Hi guys,
I saw the recent posts about some members wanting remaps so got in touch with AMD Essex.
They said that they would be able to offer a group buy at 20% off their list prices. This will include a remap and a go on their rolling road.
Standard prices are in the region of

Thought this might be of interest to some - dyno videos of my old C36 and 190e - unfortunately never dynoed my C280.
C36 dyno:

190e Dyno:

And just for laughs my prior car before I bought my 320CE - a fairly worked...
Hi all - first off I know the warnings about doing this and I understand fully what it means.
Is it at all possible without the MB STAR thinggie? I have seen plenty of info for the W211 with its' steering wheel mounted controls but none for the W210.
Perhaps simply unplug the fuse for the ESP...
Finally had a successful dyno run on the E55 at Surrey Rolling Road - cheers Charlie :)
At the crank...
and at the wheels...
Have had the car on two other rolling roads with unsuccessful top end readings, as it was spinning the rear wheels in 4th at 2900 rpm :rolleyes:
I'm...
A couple of spaces have opened up at the CA Dyno day on Saturday - I'll be interested to find out how many horses my little car has.
Anyone fancy joining me?

Not gospel figures as its not easy to dyno an auto, car threw a bit of a wobbly as well BAS, ABS light on etc but we did a few runs to get a consistant figures
FWIW i've had this box (Van Aaken tuning box) on my car for about 6 years now and around 50,000 miles , i took it off recently to...
Apple is selling an application "Dynolicious" for £7.49 that turns your ipod/itouch into a device that records your 0.60/0.100/et/1/4 mile times using the built in accelerometer and g forces.
I personally bought and installed it on my itouch and it really does work.
Its so much fun cummuting...
A mate got a new Dyno Dynamics 4WD dyno installed in his shop, and wanted me to take my car over to try it out to get some "practice" on auto dyno-ing.
It came out as 333BHP and 348lb/ft. The BHP figure is actually quite good I think - the manufacturer spec is 342BHP and it's almost 8 years...
Just gauging potential interest for a dyno shootout. For any car - not just MBs!!
For those that have not been to one before, this is roughly what happens:
You arrive fresh and early - all excited - and then get butterflies as your turn gets close.
Your car's strapped on to some rollers...
Just a heads-up to anyone who's interested, I've got my CLK55 booked-in for a power run at Northampton Motorsport on Saturday. I'm not gonna be able to get any meaningful numbers from lower revs due to the challenges inherent in chassis dyno'ing an auto. However, I'm hopeful that I can at least...
Hi,
I am taking my SLK on the rolling road for the first time this Sat and wondering if anyone has any tips before I go on.
1. How do I disable the ESP/ASR system (the switch does'nt fully turn off the system)
2. Which is the optimum gear to run it in and how will the operator hold that gear...
Following on from the discussion here, post your dyno results.
If there are enough to make a worth while start, I'll see about having a graph made up that we will link to from the Engine section. A bar graph of cars against power.
Rear Wheel figures ONLY please.

Just got back from Charlies rolling road "Vixpy" And im quite pleased with the results.
As you can see from the graph the car was putting out 288hp at the wheels,after charlie done his maths and converted that into bhp he told me i was getting 384bhp and 378ft/lb of torque.
So my mods did...
