General Info:
Due to the large number of extreme low profile tires and very expensive wheels that we encounter and install daily, AWE Tuning invested in a Hunter 3250 Tire Changer. This changer utilizes a plastic mount head and articulated arm that makes it impossible to scratch a wheel and greatly eases our ability to deal with tire profiles as low as a 25 aspect ratio. Combined with our Hunter DSP9600 Wheel Balancer, we are able to successfully mount and balance up to 24 inch diameter wheel and tire combinations. Using this balancer's Split Spoke technology, we can also hide wheel weights behind wheel spokes if the customer desires. Hunter tire changers and wheel balancers are used exclusively by the Porsche and BMW factories due to their technological superiority.In 2002, AWE Tuning installed an All Wheel Drive ( AWD ) Mustang chassis dynamometer, model MD-AWD-500-SE, to enhance our testing and tuning abilities. Since nearly 75% of the vehicles we were tuning at that time came equipped with all wheel drive, our former Two Wheel Drive ( 2WD ) Mustang MD250 chassis dyno had become limited in its usage. However, due to its cost, an AWD chassis dyno is still a unique and rare tool amongst even leading tuning houses. Not only did we see the absolute need to install such a piece of equipment on site, but we also recognized that a proper test cell would be required to ensure valid test results. Our test cell is able to be fully closed off from the rest of our facility, with a dedicated exhaust evacuation system to ensure pure air to the engine. We also integrated several data aquisition channels to the dyno PC, including a MoTeC wideband air fuel meter, dual Omega Instruments temperature meters, and boost signal. We have several anemometer tested cooling fans with associated stands that permit us to provide appropriate spot cooling to ensure valid test results. A battery of laptops running various scan tools with logging capabilites allows us to monitor literally dozens of engine parameters right through the factory diagnostic ports. Our dyno is available for power pull tests as well as rental by the hour and club days. Contact us for a price schedule.All of our installation labor is warrantied for a full 12 months and 12, 000 miles on all products that we sell. For appointments, please call 1-888-565-2257. We regularly receive vehicles transported to us for modification and tuning, and we recommend using Thomas Sunday Auto Transport for transport within North America.
