Anyone have any plans for how you would layout a dyno test cell? I am just thinking a head here as we are considering adding on to the shop. I got a bunch of paper work from dts the other day about pricing and options, but there weren't any layout plans for how a cell should be set up. The dts is looking like it may be my next major purchase.
I think if I were building a dyno room I would try to make it as large as possible, I think most of them are too small. If I were to ever build a room for my dyno I think I would probably make one of the walls have an overhead door and then have a corner mounted pivoting crane with a chain hoist to make it easy to load and unload engines from a customer's truck.
Make it easy to wash the floor too because it seems like no matter how careful I am while working on the engine I still tend to make a bit of a mess.
The Guy Riding the Muffler is over the top !!! :lol:
I would agree with Dave, build it as big as pratical, make sure to have big doors and a few of them. I would also consider a couple of drains (Dirty) to allow wash down and maintain it in an extremly clean condition or incase of a major failure or spill it can be cleaned up easily.
A nice work table / Station and extra power and air connections would be nice too.
Big doors and at least one wall with some level of blast protection. Can't believe how many videos I see of people standing next to an engine running on the dyno.
I wonder if in 8 years he was able to talk his wife into the garage and dyno room?
