Haven't got it set up yet but will have it on the ground tomorrow with the fan and computer bit along side. Also ordered parts for an extension cord for it, $380 later lol, anyway here's a pic or 3 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97278-puffwagons-dyno-tuning-adventures/page/16/#findComment-1726054 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't think moving a dyno 30 metres would take much, but it was a bit of a mission. Will get to setting it up properly next week when my extension cord arrives. Ha it'll be interesting to see how loud it is, the shed already echos pretty good.

I was kinda shocked how much my garage/shed echoed until I put all my stuff in it, now it hardly does... I'm sure yours will be similar, but the biggest problem you'll have is how loud the cars are, I'm sure... ear-muffs will be the go 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97278-puffwagons-dyno-tuning-adventures/page/16/#findComment-1726058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some quality ear protection is definitely on the cards. I'm not the kind of person to lose their hearing over work related stuff. I have some exhaust extraction stuff and will need to adapt it to my situation. It'll be easy enough, I've done sheet metal work back in the day. It'll either go out the back wall or up and over the whole lot. Speaking of which, I think I'll protect the back wall with some sheet metal, give me an excuse to buy a rivet gun, air powered or otherwise. There's plenty of dyno cell pics to get inspiration from. I'm looking forward to using the dyno in the shed, it's pretty bogan having it in the driveway and I prefer some privacy lol.

I don't associate where I live to the quality of work I do.

I'll be happy when I've got a hoist set up. Being under cover is great but lying on the ground still sucks.
