So long story short, I like to create headaches for myself.
I have a shop, where I mostly specialize in Subarus. I am tired of my flagship shop car blowing up then the engine builder pointing at the tuner and the tuner pointing a finger at the engine builder (the spiderman meme comes to mind). With that being said, I want to take one variable out of the equation. That way the engine builder just points his finger at me.
I recently found a decent (I think) deal on a Maha LPS3000 dyno. It is AWD and from what I can tell, has 1 eddy current brake on each axle. The specs that I got from Maha is that each eddy current brake has 230kwh limit.
The seller says it needs new software. I can either source the software from Maha or go the mydyno.com route.
But my question is:
Can you successfully tune a car above the eddy current limit?
If not, is the limit both of the eddy currents combined? So in this case 460kwh?
Anything else I should be looking for or considering when looking at a used dyno that has already been pulled out of the ground? Is it possible to test the eddy current brake (probably a question I should be asking Maha)?
