At RAI Motorsport, we own a Mustang
Dynamometer AWD-500 series. We purchased this machine after spending countless
months researching and comparing the differences between all dynamometers on
the market today. And after speaking with several “mobile tuners”, it became
apparent that the Mustang Dynamometer is preferred over all others.
The
strength of the MD-AWD-500 Series is in its ability to test both axles of the
vehicle under the same imposed load; while at the same time synchronizing front
and rear wheel speed.Many dynamometer manufacturers today offer AWD dynos where the front
and rear rollers are not connected together. This allows the front and
rear wheels of the vehicle to travel at different speeds which can
cause significant damage to the center differential of the vehicle. The
mechanical linkage offered with the MD-AWD-500 Series allows you to
also test 2WD vehicle with traction control systems that will activate
when they see the rear wheels spinning, but not the fronts. With a wheelbase range of 88" to 118" and a
maximum track width of 80", the MD-AWD-500 Series has the capability of
testing any AWD or 2WD car on the road today.
It's true... any dyno will spin the tires, do
some figuring and print a graph. But some can do more than others. Here
are some facts:
Mustang Dynamometers are unique. All Mustang Dynamometers are loading dynamometers designed to duplicate real world operating conditions. The patented
control system uses eddy current power absorbers to load a vehicle
exactly the way it would be loaded on the street -- including wind
resistance, which is a significant factor in high-speed testing.
Mustang dynos also feature a load cell to measure the power being applied to the rolls. Without going into a lot of theory, a Mustang dyno gives you a real world tune, every time.
