whelp, out here in the land of the volcanos, on Hawaii's Big Island, we do not have any awd dynos. The only thing here is a brand spankin new Dynojet...but the damm thing is for 2wd....

I would love to dyno my car and work on my xede base map a bit..

anyone have any bright ideas?

ok...how about SAFE ideas on how to dyno an awd on a single roller...that's mo bettah...

Thanks!

unless you convert you're car to 2wd no. and with DCCD thats not happening either. And even without it, it involves totally tearing the drivetrain apart, removing the front diff, axles, welding center diff etc.

So to answer you're question, no its not possible.

 

Even if you can do it on a 2wd dyno, it won't reflect the result that you need anyways. (Unless you leave it as a 2WD...)

 

thats what I thought and what I told the guy when he said....."just prop up the front of the car and let it spin... LOL..

oh well. maybe we'll get a double roller here someday.

 

do NOT do that

 

I heard of a tuner here in the bay area that had run WRXs as FWD on a dyno after pulling out the driveshaft and sticking a 'spud' in the tailshaft. Though I cannot confirm or deny this.

 

YIKES.....oh lawds..... might as well pop a fuse in the FWD fuseholder with that technique there...

no way my STi will ever see that.. too bad the big island dosen't have a awd dyno. someday...

 

^^^ Hey I just noticed that you from the BI. Where abouts? I was working over at the new Kamehameha schools and the whole time I was up there I didnt see one suby. I heard that hypersports did some wrx's but Im not sure that they did any sti's yet. Good luck.

 

I live up in waimea and there are a few sti's running around on the 190 and saddle road. Drop a line if you are ever wanting to go for a drive mate! (Mine is an 04 black sti with the gold bbs and the loud *** exhaust.....

Sounds like a plan.
