I seem to have the opposite problem--- I have access to a superflow 901 
(901t?) dynamometer withairflow indicators, and a 4 gas analyzer.  My 
problem is coming up with the funding for an independent study.  If 
someone has the patience, money and trust, I could submit an Independent 
study proposal for most any IC engine development work.  The dyno will 
take up to 1000 bhp continuous. It doesnt like much less than 60 bhp, it 
is too far towards the low end of the scale.  

I go to school at western washington university, bellingham, WA.  If 
someone has a reasonable project, I might submit a proposal for next 
academic year.  Personally, I am interested in racing applications, but 
that is not the only sort of project I would consider.  The dyno is set 
up to bolt up to small block chevy, small block ford, and I think 
chrysler.  I helped build an adapter to run our Formula SAE Honda CBR 
600(cc) F2 through it.  83 horsepower with an IHI turbo and a 20 mm 
(~.789 inch) diameter restrictor.  If anyone has a 3 or 4 rotor wankel, I 
would love to tackle that, and we already have adapter plates for the 13b 
and 12a.

Just throwing out a line.
