Join the PistonHeads rolling road day

Test your car's power on the Surrey RR's dyno

---

PistonHeads has organised a power day out at Surrey Rolling Road. For a mere £35, you can check out just how powerful your machine is, and maybe tweak it too. The owner of each vehicle tested will be provided with a print-out of its torque and power outputs.

Date: Saturday 11 December
Price: £35
Availability: 12 places
Where: Surrey Rolling Road, Yorktown Industrial Estate, Camberley, Surrey GU15 3DF
Contact: 01276 686111; mobile [phone]; www.surreyrollingroad.co.uk/

Technical details

• 4WD, 1200bhp eddy current retardation Dyno Dynamics chassis dynamometer
• High speed cooling fans to keep the radiators cool during testing
• Custom built enclosure to help maintain air flow, temperature and noise while testing
• Wideband lambda measurement of fuel/air ratio
• Forced induction boost pressure measurements
• Advanced graphing modes
• 'Shootout' Mode, enabling locking down of some variables during power testing to make sure results are repeatable on different Dyno Dynamics Rolling roads. Also designed to prevent 'operators fiddle' of results.
• 4WD Smart System, specially designed to take the complex 4WD systems on Porsche and Volvo cars. Shuts the road down if damage is likely to occur to the 4WD system.
• High traction vehicle tie down, enables very high powered cars to be tested with no wheel spin by clamping the axle down slightly onto the rollers.
• Knurled rollers assist in making sure there is no wheel spin when running cars.

Yup, me and a couple of mates are taking a mini and two caterhams down.

Very tempting, had some problems with the car last time it was dyno'd so should be making some good pub-talk figures now!

[nicecupoftea]

Same day as Ide Hill meet.... I'm quite tempted!

[TurboNelly]

Booked my place

[RichB]

I would be quite interested in doing this as I reckon my tappets were way out when I last tested at Power Engineering. I need to check what I am doing on that day with the management (being a Saturday so close to Xmas!) Sounds like escaping to a rolling-road might be a good idea Rich...

[PetrolTed]

Better get the Cerbera in to see if it's doing the normal Cerbera thing I guess

[Mikey G]
