AWD Dyno???

[AWDRACER6]

Does anyone know of a AWD dyno anywhere around charleston, SC?? I dont care if I have to drive to get to it, i just need to find one?

hm, I believe all of the dynos can be set for AWDs. Just activate the front an rear rolls.

I dont think it works like that does it? I think they only have front back or both....

Ok guys, I found a dyno a few miles from my house. Ok but now my question is this... What the hell is "wideband"? The price is $100 for 4 pulls then $15 for the wideband??? I know it has something to do with the air/fuel but what exactly is it? And do i need it?

The "wideband" is an oxygen sensor. It measures a wider AFR range than an OE "narrowband" O2 sensor. Such a device is useful when performing dyno pulls to correlate the engine's AFR with the power band readings. This helps a lot when tuning an ECU.

However, it's likely that the shop will simply clip it to the end of the exhaust pipe which will provide nearly useless readings as the exhast gasses will be significantly cleaned up by the catalytic converters.

If you're performing your dyno pulls just for power readings, skip the WBO2 option.

awesome! So this would probably be best if i had a turbo back since it would be opened up??

Assuming there are no catalytic converters in there, then yes.

ahhh..
