D100 portable Small Engine Dyno

the last

small engine dynamometer you may ever need

Here at Go Power, we know small engine dynos. That’s how we started! Our first dynamometers were developed in the late 1950s in Palo Alto, California when we were building systems to test basic go-kart engines.

Today we bring you the Go Power D100 small engine dyno (dynamometer). The D100 allows you to test small engines from 10 horsepower to 100 horsepower at engine speeds up to 14,000 rpm (with the optional seal feed cooling kit) with durability and accuracy to meet even the most demanding industrial requirements.

This lightweight, compact unit is rugged — constructed of high-strength aluminum alloy and can be operated from a water supply almost anywhere. Its extreme versatility makes it ideal for use with go-kart, and outboard marine engines, as well as industrial durability testing for engines and components.

The D100 is the choice dynamometer of many Formula SAE teams around the world. We also offer discounted pricing for SAE teams as well as for educational institutions! Fill out our contact form or call Sales to discuss—we can be reached at +1 248-579-4295 (press 1 for Sales).

The D100 small engine dyno is compatible with our complete line of digital consoles and state of the art control systems. This unique modular design provides maximum flexibility to expand to your system as your testing requirements grow.

As with all the Go Power Dynos, the D100 can be purchased as an individual unit, or as part of a complete test package:

The EDP100 Essential Dynamometer System Package is a portable small engine testing package consisting of:

  • D100 Small Engine Portable Dynamometer
  •  TCA100 torque calibration arm assembly (metric or imperial, weights not included)
  •  VS3001 manual load control valve set
  • DC200 digital display console. Read more about the DC200 here.
  • IKIT001 interface harness kit (speed and torque)

The EDP100 is perfect for the small engine tester that does not require a data acquisition system but is looking to simply get readings on RPM, Speed and Torque. If an actual data acquisition system is desired, the ADP package would be appropriate.

The ADP100 Advanced Dynamometer Package includes all of the components listed in the EDP package, except the GPS6000 Data Acquisition System is supplied in place of the DC200 Display Console.

Listen to our insightful question of the day:

CAUTION

The dynamometer may be operated continuously within the duty curve; however, hydraulic machines are regularly used for short-term performance testing at considerably higher power values (torque levels remain with the maximum published level). This results in rapid heating of the water within the machine which may result in localized vaporization and potential loss of control. Go Power Systems accepts no responsibility for any resulting loss due to operation outside the published performance characteristics of the individual dynamometer.
