Smile I am looking for an engine dyno...

Ok I need an engine dyno, not interested in buying however was wondering if there were any shops around who had those available within a 250 mile radious.

Not a chassis Dyno an engine dyno, thanks.

Its not for my suby its for an m10 motor we are rebuilding for our 318i (MY:84')

Thanks in advanced John.

Well we have done a lot of reasearch on this car, and as of right now we are not ready to put it on a chassis dyno we are going to do many experaments, infact we saw a guys setup for his and he replaced the entire head and many other internals and is pushing 4 bars of boost wich is crazy, and he gets about 1300hp only thing is your car will prolly only last for one race with that setup, our plans are more of an "everyday driver/sleeper kill all" setup our target hp is about 300. This beast is all engine and thats what we are focusing on as of right now, as for suspention and tires we still havent decided what aplication of race we were going to use it for, however we are realy leaning to road course racing.



As for pics, I thing I can upload a thing or two but it would be boring as ***** so we will do a nice lil b4 n after when we finish our rebuil. Actually we did something really stupid yesterday and took the breaks off assuming we can simply drive to kragen or autozone to pick em up, eventually after hitting up kragen, auto zone and pep boys, we were able to get aholed of only front breaks so now the car is sitting on blockes in the owners driveway hahaha, we will finish it(break job) today.
