Dyno Tuning

What is Dyno Tuning?
Dyno tuning is a systematic approach to engine tuning.
Dyno tuning allows us to give your vehicle a tune-up of unparalleled quality, providing you with the smoothest, most economical performance possible from your vehicle.

Step One
The first step to Dyno Tuning is to determine from the customer if the vehicle has any particular problems or points of concern, ie: gas mileage, surging, lack of power, hard starting (hot or cold), pinging, missing, etc.

Step Two
After the customer interview, we check the engine compression to determine if the engine is mechanically sound. At the same time, we make a visual inspection for obvious problems, such as broken vacuum lines, oil soaked, burned, or brittle plug wires, etc.

Step Three
We then determine the proper heat range of spark plug to be used in your particular application. For example, a truck that is used primarily for hauling a trailer or camper would need a colder spark plug than an empty truck that is used primarily for commuting.

Step Four
Next, we place your vehicle on the dynamometer, with the driving wheels on the dyno rollers. Your vehicle is tested with the engine running, in gear, and under various speeds and load conditions. While we are running these tests we monitor the engine performance by comparing the horse power transmitted to the drive wheels in relation to the amount of engine vacuum. Simultaneously, our Wide-Band Air/Fuel Monitor will be monitoring the carburetion to check each circuit of the carburetor. These circuits will then be changed to produce the maximum driveability and efficiency.

When we are done, (usually in three to five hours), you will receive a detailed test sheet of your vehicles Dyno Tune-up specifications. The length of time that your car spends on the dyno largely depends on the ECU that you use and the power requirement that you want. As TS Autotronic, our tuners aims to meet your most demanding requirements.
