Dynapack rough cost range...

[Mr Whippy]

On their website they trumpet how their package is 'all in one' so the costs are easy to understand, but they don't have one single pricing detail on there from what I can see.

Does anyone know the rough price range for a 2wd setup to buy outright? (having a rough/any guide price on websites seems to afflict dyno retailers )

Thanks

I priced a 4wd setup a few years ago. At that time, it was circa US$140-150k from what I remember.

They are a lot more expensive than a roller based Dyno.

Decent 4wd setups are around UK £60-70k, although obviously there are cheaper brands.

A DD is about £60k.

A DD in not c.£60k, its nearer £35k for a 2wd kit.

And if you read what I was writing, I was stating 4wd costs.

My DD kit was 32k about 2.5 years ago. buying from the states not australia saved me 7k!!

What way does it work with them having a UK dealer though ?? If buying new of course.....

[trackcar]

it was a uk agent then dont know if the status has changed, i paid through agent for part of the payment and direct with kentucky for the balance saving me a fortune over one made in australia

All the UK ones come from the states now through Mike who is the uk rep. its just when jools bought his they had just begun to make them in the states, which is much cheaper than Australia.

Mustang and Dynojet would be cheaper...as would Dastek.


IMO the Dynapack is a little too highly priced, but it has obvious advantages...as well as disadvantages.


Not that I'll ever have the money, but the Mainline dynos look to be excellent.

Yes Stevie, but they are all st

[Mr Whippy]

Cripes, they are all a bit more expensive than I had imagined. Somehow I had the figure of £12,000-£15,000 for a Dyno Dynamics 2wd setup...

Hrmmmm, well they seem to be of the kind of value where if I bothered it'd have to be almost business centric, or at least operated every day for a good two years before it made any money at the £40,000 price brackets anyway.



Considering there are a few dyno operators here, how much would you look at charging for a day on a Dynapack setup, or some dyno at least that can hold any rpm/load for static state tuning?

Really is quite frustrating that they cost so much really, as I don't really want too many features at all, just being able to hold certain rpm's would be pretty much all I needed. I might have to build some hub adaptors with some huge lorry brakes on the ends

Thanks for the info so far everyone

mine paid for itself in 2 years and it's not even the core of my business! you'll do fine Charlie makes a fortune out of his dont you charlie hehe

[Mr Whippy]

Well, there is a bit more dyno saturation in the North Leeds area than there used to be so competition would be fairly stiff if it were a fairly full-time thing...

Do dyno's often go 2nd hand...? I know it's fairly easy to pick up three phase tyre machines and balancers and two/four post jacks, but obviously dyno's are a fair bit less ubiquitous... but I can't seem to find much wrt to sales of them...

Thanks once again
