Default WTB : DynoJet Dyno

I know this section of Tech gets a LARGE number of viewers that aren't just from Texas, and I'm not really sure where to put this LOL! Also Admins/Mods this is not for a business, as it will be for personal use. There are to many good shops in this state to compete anyway.

We are looking for at least DynoJet 248 (or newer depending on the price). We need the Drums/Electronics (don't need all the fancy addons (A/F, Boost, etc). I've seen a few on Racing Junk, but don't know much about the people that had before.

So if anyone knows any shops that are upgrading, going out of business, or out of business please give me a shout via PM.

Step 1: Get an old school one so you can mess with all the calibrations.

Step 2: Make a "custom" cam.

Step 3: Install in a six speed 10 bolt car with super duper custom tunez.

Step 4: Place car on dyno from step 1 with other secret dyno tricks, I.e no belt...

Step 5: Post monster numbers, claiming technological break through in cam shaftery.

Profit tens to hundreds of dollars.

Tyler is right we have a building we are currently renovating for use for storage and working on cars. No more garage floor with jack stands!!!!

Jason the neighbors already cringe anytime they hear the garage door open because they expect the Porsche or golf car to start LOL!

When we start the re-skin of the building I will start a build thread with pictures. We sign the contract and statement of work on Monday for that portion of the build out. Pending freight cost we located a Dynojet 248. Powell's Toy Box is sticking for the name though, sorry Ben! LOL! Andrew, Ross, Landers, etc. when all said and done there will be cold ones in the fridge since it's right down the street from you all.

Grabbed a quick pic of the outside when we first closed on it. We have about 4500 sqft. of room to work with


Plan on adding 2 more lifts (so total of 2x 2-post and 1x 4-post), the Dynojet, A/C, loads of tools, etc... Already has a Storm Vulcan 2 Hotbath, Ingersoll Rand Compressor, and a few other things. But we have a lot of work left to do and a long road ahead. Spent the last few days knocking down walls and cleaning up. Friday we filled IESI's largest deliverable dumpster, and plan on doing the same on Monday.

Actually it did not, but when the re-skinning is done we are putting 2 air handlers in the shop area and the office/chill room we are going to have it plumbed in (or whatever normal ac running is called LOL). Way way way to hot not to have it now a days.
