You ask if it can be turned into a dyno here:

These people tell you no, it can't be turned into a dyno:

You again ask if it's easy to turn into a dyno:

These people tell you no (again), it can't be turned into a dyno:

Plus it's probably calibrated for a particular type of dyno setup, like roller weight, etc.

And again, you state that it can probably be turned into a dyno:

Chris - NO, the state inspection machine that you have CANNOT be turned into a high performance dyno to determine horsepower or torque.
The hardware and software of the inspection machine is very outdated at this point, and it was only ever originally intended to handle average daily drivers on the rollers at low cruising speeds for emissions testing purposes. The only somewhat practical purpose those rollers have for someone with a performance vehicle is that if they had the time / money the rollers could be installed so that the owner of said performance vehicle could use complete separate tuning equipment to do idle and part throttle driveability tuning while the car is in a stationary location. This is something that only a small handful of people would likely be interested in though, mostly due to the work involved in dropping this setup into the floor of your garage.
