Dynolyze was founded by Janne Näränen and Noora Saarinen, but our story began long before we started building dynamometers.

Janne’s passion for motorsport started with karting as a child. Over the years, he has gained extensive experience in rallying, rallycross and drag racing, mainly working as a mechanic and engine tuner. He has also spent some time behind the wheel and in the co-driver’s seat. His professional background includes years of working with automotive electronics, OEM ECU tuning and race cars. Along the way, he has worked with numerous different dynamometers.

Noora has been involved in motorsport for over 20 years, mainly as a rally co-driver, but has also competed behind the wheel in several disciplines. She holds a degree in Automotive and Work Machine Engineering and has spent her entire professional career in the automotive industry.

Before Dynolyze, we ran our own automotive workshop, working with performance cars and tuning.

As cars became more powerful, we realized it was time to move from a traditional roller dyno to a hub dyno. Instead of buying one, Janne decided to build his own.

That was back in 2016.

A couple of years later, we started wondering: could we turn this into a product for other tuners and workshops?

The idea came from a simple fact: we couldn’t find a dyno on the market that offered everything we were looking for.

For us, three things were especially important: precise brake control, repeatability and easy to use.

When you’re tuning a car, repeatability is everything. If you make a change to the engine or ECU, you need to know whether that change actually made a difference. Without consistent, repeatable measurements, it’s difficult to tell if you’re making progress.

We wanted a dyno that we could trust in our own workshop, with the control, consistency and usability needed for real-world tuning.

Development of the first commercial Dynolyze hub dyno began in 2018–2019, and in early 2020, the very first Dynolyze dyno was delivered to a customer.

We believe that building a great dynamometer takes more than technical knowledge. It also requires understanding how the equipment is actually used, what challenges tuners face and which features truly make a difference in their daily work.

Having spent years on the user side of dynamometers ourselves, we know how important this perspective is when developing a product.

We’ve developed the Dynolyze system from scratch, including our own software and brake control system. This gives us a deep understanding of how every part of our dyno works together, from the mechanical components to the control electronics and software.

It’s not just a product we sell. It’s a system we’ve designed, developed and built ourselves, and one we know inside out.
