Do a search using google or other search engine. I remember seeing some info on a homemade dyno that used a hydraulic pump/valves/gages. Heat would change your readings but with carefull notes you could use it for engine development. The numbers would not directly compare to a commercial dyno. All dynos read a little different anyway....

i once saw a kit wear u jack up the rear end on these special jacks and u take the rear wheels off then u connect this thing to the bolt pattern and hook up the thing to ur computer and it automatically loads a program and u got all ur gauges and stuff on ur screen. I'll look for it, sorry for all the "things"
