New braked and synchronised 4WD dynamometer
Installation and calibration of a braked, synchronised 4WD dynamometer with environmental monitoring.
AutoChip installed a new braked, synchronised dynamometer for four-wheel-drive vehicles. The setup can drive all four wheels together and control the applied load, which is essential when testing AWD vehicles and repeating runs under consistent conditions.
The dyno has ten metal rollers, sensors and a braking system. A weather station records temperature, air pressure and humidity for measurement correction. At the time of filming, an additional cooling fan was still on order because long testing sessions require substantial airflow through the engine bay.
Before customer vehicles were tested, the dyno was synchronised and calibrated using a 2019 car with a 2.0-litre engine that had previously been measured on the old equipment. The video mainly documents the new dyno’s installation and commissioning, rather than a chip-tuning result for a specific car.
