Go Power Dyno Support
We NOW have Better Pressure
Diaphrams: (Oct 2008)
Working with Norm Schenck of
Competition Fuel Systems (DEPAC Site #99) we now have custom made
diaphrams that can take higher pressures and last.
We have them in stock as a kit with
instructions and dry lubricant. These should be the last ones you
will ever need.
2 Diaphrams for $120 (includes
shipping). Call (315) 339-1265 or BUY Now through GUNPAL. 

Stuska® Dyno
Modification to improve LOAD response (especially useful with the ADL Control):
The Stuska® Dyno is a good Power
absorber but the water inlet is only into one side of the rotor and
it must then flow arround the rotor to fill the other side. The
result is a sluggish response to a quick increase in water flow. This
slower response is now much more noticeable when using the ADL
Control System and causes an overshoot response. There is one simple
modification that will double the speed of response by drilling
3/8" (or 7/16") holes as shown below. We have been doing
this for many years and its even more important now with the new fast
ADL system.
Also if you have the brake apart
replace the original old style Stuska® water seals with a Much
better replacement seal, using ceramic on carbon. Discard all the old
Stuska® parts. PAC-SEAL #237 from Grainger 5NC16. Make
sure you braze the ends of the new spring just like the original (to
prevent fly-out of at the ends at hi-RPM). The original spring
retaining cup to capture the spring is not really needed (if you
braze the ends). Make sure these are properly installed and pressure
tested. If it does not hold air then it will leak water into the
greased bearings. Water in bearings results in FAILURE of the
bearings in a short time. If you see water dripping out the ends of
the shaft then your dyno is going to fail very soon.
NOTE: Do not attempt to remove the
rotors from the shaft....The outer holes are scribed from the outer
edge and hand pilot drilled (1/8") as shown. Final hand drill to
size and deep champher. As long as the holes are centered between the
fins and the same distance from the outer edge the rotors will still
be balanced. On a Stuska 800 dual rotor, Only the water-in side needs
a deep champher. Use a 1/4" hand drill for Air Bleed holes, 4 to
6 as shown.
When changing the ball bearings put
in a better quality part (ABEC 3 or 5). No point in saving a few
bucks using a POS part when a better fitting bearing will last much
longer. (cheap stuff COSTS MORE!). We show a Stuska® 400 but it
applies to the 800 dual rotor as well.
