Dyno to fit R350L

[UseQ]

Hello,
does anyone know about a 4WD dyno that will fit my R350L, I've tryed my local Maxtreme in Wisbech (Cambridgeshire) and Emerald in Thetford but both recon theirs is too small.
Basically I had a turbo reconditioned, and just don't like how it goes now, but before I go back I would prefer to have some more proof then my hunch

MSL in Birmingham would be my port of call albeit not too close to you....

MSL would be my call as well, their Dyno is 4WD and adjustable to suit any size of car, from the little A class to Sclass limousine so no issue there, just the trek over from you. That said make a day of it with the other half and go the the bull ring as well.

Or just spend the day watching the outstanding metal going on and off Dyno there!

Our R320L will be going to MSL at some point...

I’ve got to get the 212 in there at some point, maybe we should try a mini meet/dyno day?

Thanks for advice, I was afraid of you lot saying that as MSL is a bit far for me, I will have to sort something out in following weeks and get it done (at the moment too much stuff going on).

Dyno Developments in Stevenage? Not sure on your exact location but shouldn't be too far from you!

Many thanks

MSL isn’t too far by definition

Well 2.5 hours one way jusy for a power run is a bit far. I leave it as a last resort.
I will email engine tunning Norwich today with vehicle dimensions and see what they say.

Hopefully they will be fine, when I looked on their website I noticed they had a VW Transporter on there so you should fit.....

And thats where the problem starts mate R350L is not only long, it's wide, Emerald was ok with lenght but width was an isssue...
Weight 2330kg
Length 5157mm
Width 2183mm (VW T5 is 1959mm)
Height 1663mm
Wheelbase 3215mm

at least that what I have from Wikipedia

Aha, I see, their rollers also look wide and the area reasonable large so good luck.....

That would not fit in my current unit (for its width!)

They are a big old lump.

 

[bembo449]

[alexanderfoti]

Wikipedia says 1958mm though?

It doesn't fit anywhere, I hate supermarkets, minor dents, scratches because people can't be bothered not to slam their doors into it

They are a big old lump.

yes, but it's quick old lump
