DervMafia Eddy Current Dyno Upgrade

any idea what kind of power its rated for?   no traction issues yet?

Haha, ever since taking the TU off the road / driving the ZX, the TU has just become a dedicated Dyno testing car..and it just takes it all day long some days when we were getting things set up!

In terms of rated power, the retarder is rated for 1350nm at the shaft, so if you do the calculations based on most cars, that equates to around 650hp, but would likely run into traction problems / alot of strapping to get there...

No traction issues at all so far, the old clayton used to require warm tyres before it would look at letting the likes of Toms ZX to hook right up, but this will hook up from cold, so certainly alot more traction than before, and havent cracked out any spray / extra strapping yet, so looks promising.... Bigger rollers / smaller gap putting more weight directly on roller is certainly the key there, have looked into having the drive roller knurled / machined, but unless theres issues in the future that isnt going to be needed for the time being I dont think...
