Just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that operates a reputable dyno facility with professional staff who know what they're doing? Any recommendations?

Never used it but zcars.org.uk have what looks like a very professional set-up. Don’t be put off by their web site they do a lot more that it suggests, give them a call.

Also there is Bogg Bros - North Lutton (Near Driffield) good with bike carb's and custom manifolds and stuff, have used them a few times and they have always got good results.

This might be a dumb question but are all dyno's 4WD compatible these days?

Never been to Well Lane Turbo centre but their dyno is <and I quote from numerous sources> "very generous"

Any recently installed one will be, but still plenty old school 2wd ones around!

To be honest, the amount of bad reports I've heard about that place is beggars belief...

I've read similar reports, but having never used them I can't say whether they're true or not. I just know I'm not risking wasting my money.

Best to avoid if there is any doubt at all imho. Not worth wasting your time/money to be let down... frown


The Racing Line in Halifax have been great, they use DD rollers, and have done for many many years, and are also grease monkeys tuning up Evo's and other stuff for the likes of Ten of the Best, so they are pretty good...
I'd not hesitate to go again, and continue to do so... over the last three visits over the last three years, they have been consistently good smile
