Sure?

Just run it at low psi for abit

[sam]

Standered at 24 psi cant go any lower haha

[David]

Really?

[sam]

Is indeed

[Tom]

Looks like some pretty good results there!

[Toms306]

Results? Unless they've got a time machine those are predicted figures....


Done my own dyno run twice at college and this is how were told - pull away in 4th and floor the throttle, the dyno starts reading at 30mph (and feels like youve hit a puddle at that point) then keep on the throttle until you start losing bhp (or hit the limiter). Then let off the throttle to run down to calculate the tranny losses. Shouldn't damage the car at all, however, due to the extra 'strain' from the dyno over the normal road surface, you 'can' get overboost problems show up with 'quick' cars. Basically in normal driving youre on full throttle for only few seconds usually as thats all it takes to get to illegal speeds, on the dyno it takes 10+ seconds so the turbo gets more abuse than normal. I got an overboost fault doing my second run and put the car into limp mode, but apparently its not uncommon.

you 'can' get overboost problems show up with 'quick' cars.

It all depends on the weight of the rollers and/or the brake used (if any is used). Too light rollers and you'll not get as fast turbo spool as on the road, and you'll not see the full torque.

Also measured MAF is lower when doing a powerrun on the rollers compared to when it is on the road.

The rollers I normally use have two 1t rollers - I normally get clutch slipping on it when doing a pull in 4th. I do not get any clutch slipping when on the road with slightly more diesel. (it slips @ 430Nm on the rollers)

Basically in normal driving youre on full throttle for only few seconds usually as thats all it takes to get to illegal speeds, on the dyno it takes 10+ seconds so the turbo gets more abuse than normal. I got an overboost fault doing my second run and put the car into limp mode, but apparently its not uncommon.

A powerrun should not be shorter than ~18 seconds -if it is, then the possibility of getting a duff reading is substantially higher.

[Ricky]

Where's the meeting place then?

[ozonehostile]

i plan to be on well on the way there by 11, mates got to mot his new car at 10, so il wait around to see if it passes then hopefully have a mini convoy down.

i havnt decided which route yet, what road will most people travelling from north be using? motorway or birdlip?

whats the postcode for the meeting place, cant be bothered to trawl through previous pages to look

[sam]

Awesome! good work guys! you was right in the shit when we came down!

[David]

Oh don't get me started lol I was getting so so pissed off with it. After you left the pipe inbetween the head and the inlet came out and I had to drop then engine again!

[sam]

David got lemon really bad

[Kwik]

I'm here and is a pain to find. Follow signs to race circuit as you go past the karting centre and see. The thruxton race circuit entrance you will see a hanger between them. Is there where it says G.A.S. Vehicle services just underneath that says west tuning

[sam]

Me and david are on our way now but in one car mine is being a f*** and not starting

[ozonehostile]
