I have ZERO intent to ever buy a dyno , but I watched to support Joe!🤣😂😎

[@Rome3aaro]

Facts

[@david63390]

I remember being a early subscriber to Richard holdner thinking this guy is going to blow up and eventually he did. Joe you have a bad ass channel. You're doing an amazing job keep at it!

[@XGNPerformance]

This is a great video. One thing to note, Dynapack can do RPM Pickup using the signal from one of the the ignition coils too.

[@MrBlackbutang]

You are a Prohub movie 🎥 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ . Red carpet treatment.😊

[@jasonmcnulty6029]

Unfortunately, I have one of those brands that joe won't even comment on. It is an absolute shame that certain companies won't support their absolutely garbage equipment the second the check clears. The only thing worse than their software is their support. Pay for annual support to some half @$$ Facebook support group to leave your questions pending forever. Won't respond to phone calls, voicemail or email. Yet have the biggest booths at the trade shows with all the rental women trying to pry open business owners wallets. Steer clear of all dyno salespeople named Allison. That's all I can say. When it's time to upgrade my dyno, mainline will be the option. That said, I 100% made my piece of garbage hub dyno useful by upgrading to sport devices software and daq. Happy to help if anyone is in a similar situation. Thanks for everything joe. Just wish I had seen you sooner

[@350gtboi]

Henning loves the Fact that DC is so trash. He offered them a chance to use their controls. But Allison is a psycho lady. She’s a predator. Preys on the uninformed. What’s crazy is that their prices are not much lower vs a Mainline.

[@jasonmcnulty6029]

@@350gtboi just have to look at their build quality. I should really do a video on the poor assembly quality, and simple stuff they screwed up. Henning is the shit, and thanks to him, my machine actually works. The mainline seems to really be a nice unit though. Someday!

[@350gtboi]

@@jasonmcnulty6029 you should. Someone needs to expose them so more customers do not get scammed.

[@DynoComIsTrash]

I could make a T-Pain GMG video for the shit I've been through with them, sounds like you could as well! I find it hysterical they can't even hide their shitty product in the comments of a video not even about them.

[@RocketRaspeed]

I have a dynocom 3500 series hub dyno. Its a complete piece of trash. I'm currently upgrading the electronics and software with Yourdyno equipment. Hopefully this makes it a more usable tool.

[@njclsx4252]

Great video Joe ✅️

[@slowpoke96Z28]

10:53 Dynapack was the OG hub dyno.

[@SloppyMechanics]

love my 224

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

they are nice for what they are for sure. there are times having a roller would be a bit easier

[@BEANS-O-MATICtransmissions]

@sloppy mechanics Matt, it's time to make the switch, just think how great no more broken straps would be !!! 🦝

[@nela5596]

I had a Dynojet 424 for 10 plus years and was 8/10 happy with it, after I bought a mustang MD-500-AWD that was the biggest mistake I made, Dynojet software was way way better and both customer service suck ass Thanks for the great video man. What did the pro hub 3000 HP 2wd cost around?

[@pop_pops_garage]

Can confirm the mainline fan is nuts

[@civichbc]

Them Aussie always killing it!

[@timweb1510]

Good work Joe

[@nolandainese2315]

We're planning getting a dyno... And mainline is our choice, but we have a dealer here with bad review...

[@BATworkshop]

I ordered my mainline Pro hub july last year and it arrived pretty much when they said it would. It got stuck at customs and then again freight companies were dicking around getting it to me, but that is not Mainlines fault. They have been great about getting back to me anytime I have had a question, and I have had quite a few. Their software is quite cumbersome and not well laid out in my opinion. I am sure it is extremely powerful, but simple things like getting a graph to display the way I want to send to a customer is frustrating. One screen will show engine RPM one way and the chart to print will be different. This is something I found very frustrating. I do primarily german AWD cars, and the hubs do not come with hub centering rings for any of the cars I have run and on my RS3 it shakes the shit out of the car, I canceled a 2021 RS6 session for the same reason. When I contacted mainline they sent me prints to have centering rings made. On rear drive cars it seems minimal, but something about the Audi adapters is violent. I have done 4 different cars and all have the same issue. I have tried both cone seat and ball seat lug bolts and it does not center the adapters well enough to not be a issue. Now I am looking for a lathe and tooling so I don't have to order these from local machine shops when I need them. I also agree 100% that they should move the data connectors for the hub units so they are near the power plugs on the outside of the cabinet. OR a good alternative would be to have a disconnect at the hub unit so I can coil up the wires easily if needed. This would be a nice quality of life improvement for me being a smaller shop. I watched just about all of your videos about dyno's before finalizing the order on mine. I have a lot to learn as a operator, but it is exciting.

[@E.T.GARAGE]

That was very informative about different dyno's. 👍😎👍

[@crawford323]

How much? I spent $250k on photo lab equipment 25+ years ago. If the equipment makes you money and you can keep it occupied, then cost is almost moot. Cost to a business is far different to the eyes of the individual. Durability and adaptability would be my main concern. It is one think to take on an in e like this only to have to reinvest frequently. Also the service contracts can be substantial and even prohibitive adding to the cost of operation with consumable items.

[@ericsmcmahan]

Joe Simpson, when you point the cars in different directions, do you have to swap sides with the dyno load cells or will they work in both directions?

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

They work in both directions. Another awesome feature

[@Disneymkvii]

I have hub dynos from another place and that wait time was ridic. Promised few weeks, took 8 months. Support has been terrible ever since unless you put them on blast on social mdeia, then they only do just enough to shut you up for a minute before your next problem. WIsh I had gone Mainline, but now i'm 60K into what I have.

[@PRZJ91]

One thing I wish you could have mentioned was price. I can’t find pricing online anywhere, it’s like they wanna keep it a secret.

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

That’s because there is a million options that all dictate price. Contact them to discuss what you need and they will give you a price. I don’t discuss pricing on social media. All it does is start a war.

[@PRZJ91]

@@JoeSimpsonAtTempest fair enough. Lol

[@kurtstrains]

Did you get the CAN bus module? I have used a prohub several times and I LOVED that feature...

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

Yes i did. It is a great feature

[@alexkyriakidis6580]

How much weight the dyno ?how easy is to move it with a small track between 2 shops?

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

It’s very heavy. It rolls easy on a smooth floor but not so easy on a parking lot for example

[@TRENDewyZ]

I’ve been wondering if you have to have a spool in the car to use this type of dyno?

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

Nope

[@Speedracer238]

Is there a dealer in the US? Or strictly order from Australia? Do they offer financing options or ???

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

Buy direct from Australia and they didn’t offer financing before but i think they can help get you in contact with a financing company that they work with now (don’t quote me on that)

[@slowpoke96Z28]

8:38, because people are stupid. Mustang dyno is a street racer's dyno. That was common knowledge 20 years ago. If people are still questioning it now, they just simply haven't done their homework.

[@f1hotrod527]

I have no idea why you would not use a hub dyno. There is no benefits to the roller dyno's. Maybe they are cheaper?

[@CMillet86]

My first dyno was a Dyno Dynamics Dynotech, super quick and easy to set up, but just as I bought it, Turbo LS started taking over the world, and holding 800+ on the small dual rollers was difficult. I now have a 24" Land And Sea Dyno, and mechanically it's great. The software is a bag of dicks though.

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

I’ve actually never used either of those. Friend of mine had a DD. He loved it but he only did 3-400hp stuff

[@MikeyAntonakakis]

Would love any insight on calibration frequency, ease of fudging numbers, etc. (maybe both on the correction side of things as well as the actual calibration of the load cell). I've been seeing a lot of not-so-believable power numbers lately, to put it politely. It doesn't help that I'm at altitude where it wouldn't be hard to add ~20% by correcting to sea level, IMO not exactly legit for turbo applications.

[@nosnerd1967]

Why this guy is at 21k is way beyond me …

[@cornelljones2389]

Hey why do we have to tune even after have found a pitch perfect tune ? It’s like it will never just STAY perfect right? Why??

[@joef7423]

Do you have any experience with dynocom hub dynos? I'm in the market to purchase a dyno and dynocom prices seem to be pretty affordable, can they even compare to mainline or dynojet?

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

I’d quit tuning and close down my shop before accepting a free dynocom dyno.

[@SloppyMechanics]

@@JoeSimpsonAtTempest that is what everyone says, shewww

[@350gtboi]

I would never buy one. Dynocom should be called DYNOCON. They promise you the world and the functions straight up dont work or aftersales support is trash. Buy once cry once. Buy a Mainline.

[@joef7423]

I appreciate the feedback, it's hard to make these decisions sometimes when all the companies have a highly trained sales team trying to convince me that their product is better, that's why I want to hear from the guys that have used the products.

[@350gtboi]

@@joef7423 DC preys on inexperienced customers and they are terrible with support and really poorly designed hardware. Look at all the tuning schools, and high end shops. They all use mainline. If you are on a budget, wait until PRI. They usually have once a year specials if you order a Prohub during PRI.
