Thanks, I think i have a good understanding of how to put it together. One thing I'm not sure of is what size pump I should be looking for.If I can help you i sure will with pictures or anything else
That is basically my setup. Just waste the water vs a tank.Here's a better diagram of what I'd like to put together. It's not my drawing, it was done by chadihman on AS.
Thanks, I'm going to give it a go later this year. I figured I'd put a cooler on it to keep the heat down.That is basically my setup. Just waste the water vs a tank.
Most any pump will work as long as it handles the rpm.
With a closed system heat and air in the fluid may cause repeatability issues
I'm going to give these guys a call and see how much a sprocket from them will cost.Danzco/6k products can make them but it will be 2-500$ sprocket most likely.

Joe, if you are deciding to be done with the dyno, I sure do hope someone else carries on with it. It is nice to be able to see real numbers and truly compare different saw platforms.Anyone interested in a chainsaw Dyno?
Built mine last year, and have most all the bugs worked out now. Almost 1000 runs on the current setup.

If you all want to see some build/progress pics along the way let me know and I will dig them up.

Here is a printout from the dyno system. I use a waterbrake, with shafting/fatherless chain to mount the powerheads on.
Runs are done just like cutting wood. High/max rpm then I start applying the load and bring them down to 5000 rpm over a 9-12 second time.

I'm not done with it at all. I plan to keep going. Maybe add a second one too.
Whew!I'm not done with it at all. I plan to keep going. Maybe add a second one too.
Totally agreed!! The buildup itself in not only money but time would be a big project to take on outside of regular job duties.Definitely a sick setup! Appears Much easier to just pay you lol.
I think I have one. I'll have to lookDo you happen to have results from a sausage stuffed 346?
.
Joe, what is the difference between the three runs?
Tune was turned up in the higher 2. Prolly would have liked even more rpm.Joe, what is the difference between the three runs?
Not sure what size I have. The first one was too small and the one that I have now is off the press at work that has a leak in the seal and they put a new one on and I asked for the old one. It was running to fast and so I had to gear it down and it seems to work fine.Thanks, I think i have a good understanding of how to put it together.
