Rolling Road for bike engined car

[GreigM]

I've got a hayabusa engined westfield with a Power Commander III in it - does anyone know of a rolling road which can handle this setup? Unfortunately most places which can handle the Power Commander only have a bike dyno......anyone got any clues/suggestions...

Glasgow area preferred but can travel - Stirling, Edinburgh not an issue....

Ecotune in Hillington?

[Iaing01]

Stupid question time, why won't a normal car rolling road suffice?

[MissChief]

making an assumption here but the Power Commander is probably a bike ECU and they won't have the foggiest how to set it up?

Get in touch with Andrew Gallacher ag motorsport ak moorfield motor services in killie

He got a state of the art system with the latest software

[Hollowpockets]

For a power run they don't need to connect it up for set up, just to measure revs etc,

The solution to this is buy a connectors that fit the power commander and the normal port from the Internet and a length of the right lead, and make up an adaptor to take with you.

I'm no electrical expert but worth asking the question, I know noble owners do it to connect up the ecu to a laptop to check lambda sensors and re-set adaptive maps.

This is the reason - have approached a couple of places in the past and they don't want to know....not sure if it is a technical issue (as I've got the laptop and mapping software with me) or they just don't know bike engines....

Daft question Greig

Would Bike guy agree to go to Car rolling road to setup or is that more bother than it's worth?

[GreigM]

Think I've found somewhere - doesn't really seem to be a technical issue, more that they don't want to stray outside their area of expertise. Think I've found someone though, so will give it a try and report back.

Keep us posted mate as I have a busa powered Indy R running a power commander. Always good to know

Cheers

Sounds like you're sorted now but I was going to suggest getting a bike guy and map it on the road, more accurate in terms of airflow etc anyway.

Dunc.

[GreigM]

unfortunately it's not road legal just now so has to be a rolling road...

A friend with a megabusa recently used Dastek for a rolling road set up and was suitably impressed. That said they're not called Dastek anymore so someone else will have to remind you of their new name, or I can find out from him tomorrow...

Performance HQ in Dalgety Bay?

[Renny]

Yes, Dastek are now Performance HQ

[GreigM]

I'm booked in to hypertech in Bonnybridge on Tuesday so I'll report back on how it goes - seems to think it should be straightforward.

[GreigM]

Today was the day at hypertech - they had no problem working with the powercommander software (I had supplied the laptop with software on it) and we found a hefty chunk of mid-range torque...very pleased....

[OlberJ]

Out of interest, how much did that set you back for the day Greig if you don't mind me asking.

[GreigM]

was £180 - £75p/h + VAT

[OlberJ]

That's great, cheers.
