Is Dynamometer Testing Safe?
There is no concrete evidence suggesting that dynamometer testing damages cars. During these tests, dynos do not interfere with engine performance or cause harm. Issues like over-revving, excessive heating, shock loading, or incorrect fuel or ignition settings are more likely to damage your engine.
If your engine experiences issues after a dynamometer test, it's unlikely that the test itself was the cause?"assuming it was conducted properly.
Why Dynamometer Testing is Generally Safe
Testing on a dynamometer under controlled conditions is usually safer for your engine than regular driving. It's essential to ensure the dyno operator is skilled and that the equipment includes an adequate cooling system. For instance, a 60-centimeter diameter fan can help prevent overheating during power runs.
Considerations for Specific Tests
When testing race cars or motorcycles, ensure a controlled environment. Extended tests can cause heat soak, affecting transmission, bodywork, engine block, oil, and more. This heat can interfere with power output and test accuracy. To mimic road conditions, a wind tunnel setup might be necessary for adequate cooling.
If a facility lacks proper equipment or cooling systems, it's best to avoid testing there.
Tire Considerations
The impact of dynamometer testing on tires is more contentious. Tire manufacturers often recommend replacing tires after each test due to potential heat or deformation effects. However, well-designed dynos shouldn't harm newer tires. For safety, always inspect tire condition after testing.

In summary, when conducted under proper conditions, dynamometer testing is a safe method to assess vehicle performance. Always ensure the facilities meet required standards to avoid potential issues.
