Measurement or investigation?

A power run records what the engine produces. A diagnostic session gives the technician time and data to investigate why a vehicle is not performing as it should.

POWER / TORQUE

For a baseline or before-and-after comparison

Dyno power run

Two controlled runs measure peak power, peak torque and the shape of the delivery through the rev range. It is the straightforward choice when the vehicle is running correctly and you want an accurate result.

  • Two power runs on the appropriate 2WD or 4WD rolling road
  • Power and torque results to take away
  • Logged result for useful future comparison
CONTROLLED LOAD / DATA

For low power, flat spots or a running concern

Dyno diagnostic session

We reproduce the problem under controlled load and combine the dyno result with targeted diagnostic data. The aim is to narrow down the cause of a performance or running issue before parts are replaced or tuning is considered.

  • Controlled-load rolling road testing
  • Targeted data logging and fault investigation
  • Findings explained and the next step discussed

Engine health check

Start here when you want a broader engine baseline before tuning, or when low power, poor emissions or inconsistent running needs a structured check rather than a result sheet alone.

What the graph can tell you

A power figure is a result. Diagnostics explain the result.

A rolling road power run plots the measured power and torque across the rev range. That makes it useful for checking a healthy vehicle, recording a baseline or comparing the outcome of later work.

If there is a warning light, hesitation, boost problem, unusual smoke, misfire or unexplained power loss, choose a dyno diagnostic session. That booking creates time to investigate the behaviour rather than simply recording it.

Magicmotorsport DynoRoad

Power testing for vehicles that cannot use a rolling road.

Unusual vehicle dimensions or an incompatible four-wheel-drive system can prevent testing on a conventional rolling road. For suitable vehicles, our Magicmotorsport DynoRoad tool mounts to a wheel and measures power from the vehicle.

Accurate vehicle weight and careful setup are essential to a reliable reading. Getting the system configured correctly takes time, but our workshop has found the readings very accurate when it is set up properly.

Before your appointment

Arrive ready for a safe, useful run.

A dyno places the engine and drivetrain under load. The vehicle must be safe to test, and we need to know about faults or unusual requirements before it enters the dyno cell.

  • Check fluids and leaks. Oil and coolant levels must be correct, with no fluid leaks.
  • Check tyres and drivetrain. Tyres, wheel fixings and drivetrain components must be in safe condition.
  • Bring suitable fuel. Arrive with enough of the fuel the vehicle normally runs.
  • Tell us about known faults. A vehicle with a running issue needs a diagnostic booking, not a standard power run.

Dyno questions

Before you book.

Send your registration, drivetrain and a short description of any modifications or running issue. We can then confirm the correct booking.

Ask a dyno question
How much is a dyno power run in South Wales?

A 2WD dyno power run at Llandow Tuning costs £75 and a 4WD power run costs £150. Both include two controlled power runs with measured power and torque results.

What is the difference between a power run and a dyno diagnostic session?

A power run measures current power and torque. A dyno diagnostic session uses controlled-load testing and targeted data gathering to investigate a running or performance issue. Diagnostics cost £150 for 2WD and £200 for 4WD.

Can you dyno a four-wheel-drive vehicle?

We have a MAHA LPS 2000 4WD chassis dyno on site. Some four-wheel-drive systems need a different testing arrangement, so send us the vehicle details before booking. For suitable vehicles that cannot use the rolling road, we can assess Magicmotorsport DynoRoad testing.

Can you measure power on a vehicle that does not fit the rolling road?

For suitable vehicles with unusual dimensions or a four-wheel-drive system that prevents rolling road testing, Magicmotorsport DynoRoad mounts to a wheel and measures power from the vehicle. Suitability, testing arrangements and the price are agreed before booking.

Why does vehicle weight matter for DynoRoad testing?

DynoRoad uses the vehicle weight when calculating power, so an accurate weight and careful setup are essential to a reliable result. Our workshop has found the readings very accurate when the system is correctly configured.

Where is the rolling road dyno?

Llandow Tuning is at Llandow Dyno Centre on Unit 11 Sambucus Avenue, Llandow Trading Estate, CF71 7PB.
