Oh Goody - another rolling road thread!!

How long before it degenerates into an "...ah, but it wasn't at x RR!" or the always popular "...ah, but what gear was it in?"

This thread i doubt will go like the others. all of the cars were seen being done on the same day.

Edited to convert back from japanese.

Sorry, it made sense to me at the time

Makes sense to me too DC.

Nelly, if the cars are all measured on the same rollers on the same day, then for comparison between that set of cars, the figures are perfectly valid... although I have issues with "at the wheels" figures to be honest but that's an even larger argument I'm not going to get into.

You are preaching to the converted mate!

See here...

and

here...

Plus, I've been an engine and chassis dyno. operator / installer / calibrator for 18 years, and I've never seen an unquestioned / undebated power output discussion!

[mars]

Sorry, I should have noted that I'd read your profile before I posted, so I know you probably know more about the technology then I do. I was only attempting to clarify DC's post for you.

[rjk]

I`ll let you know what my Tuscan does, its going over to TVR Power this week to be sorted !
Hopefully more than my previous 330 !!!

Its a rolling road thread.. run away

What rollers do power use now?

[Bob Falfa]

When your car's been on the Rolling Road, do the guys tweak anything to give the engine extra power? If so, what are the "before" and "after" power output readings?

that would cost extra and takes time, this was a roll on, roll off get as many done, day.

[macdeb]

Chimaera 450.
Power 212 / torque 237 - standard
power 271 / torque 318 - nos [clutch slip and overfuelling]

I know, I know, first one with excuses. Any 500 figures? as I think Phills' 'taraka' was best with 260 also overfuelling, think the other 500's were around 225.
