Harmonixx Tuning has setup a Dyno testing facility in Bangalore.
This Dyno can measure upto 2000 HP. It can be also loaded with the help of Eddy current brakes. It is 2WD dyno but can be converted to 4WD in future with add on parts.
Specifications & Features:
They have also installed a custom made fan with 20 HP motor which can blow wind at 140+kmph.
I also went through multiple runs done by them. The runs were consistent and repeatable.
I wanted to dyno my stage 3 S-Cross 1.6 since long time and Harmonixx tuning setup in Bangalore came up at right time. My other option was Dynapack dyno at Arka Motorsports, Coimbatore.
I wanted to check the gains over stock. I asked if anyone is interested to dyno in our S-Cross group and 4 guys joined in. So we had stock, stage 1+, stage 2 and stage 3 cars up for the dyno. Mr. Rahul (Harmonixx tuning) was very helpful and answered all our queries. We fixed on a date and it was going to be interesting as we had five S-Cross 1.6 to get dynod.
The line-up of cars (all S-Cross 1.6):
1. Stock
2. Stage 1+
3. Stage 2
4. Stage 3 with Chinese Intercooler
5. Stage 3 with Garrett Intercooler (mine)
All the tuned cars are running with Wolf Moto remaps.
Do note that Dyno runs are mainly done to compare the gains, fine tune the maps etc. It's not just for showing numbers. That's why I badly needed a stock car for the dyno.

We did multiple pulls in every car and the results were repeatable. Repeatability is very important for a dyno. I found the torque reading slightly higher in this dyno, anyways it's not a concern when you are comparing the gains.
The runs were done in 4th gear. The dyno was set to start recording at 1500 rpm, but as per Rahul the actual reading would start a bit late and he adviced to consider the graph post 2000 rpm.
Stock vs Wolf Stage 1+ vs Stage 2
Wolf: Stage 3 with Garrett IC vs Stage 3 with Chinese IC
Peak numbers at Crank
Stock: 131 HP / 368 NM
Stage 1+: 156 HP / 407 NM
Stage 2: 165 HP / 428 NM
Stage 3 with Chinese IC: 202 HP / 428 NM
Stage 3 with Garrett IC: 202 HP / 438 NM
It was really a good time at dyno and also interacting with fellow enthusiasts. Big thank you to fellow S-Cross 1.6 owners for making this dyno session successful. Mr. Rahul from Harmonixx tuning was around all the time and he personally did dyno pulls of every car.
