AwesomeAl Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Thanks for organising Al, good day had by all I think Just analysing the RR results now. I've sent you a PM Al No problems man, PM Right back at ya.I was happy with that, alot better than last time, i'm actually running close to standard.Good stuff If anything today would have read slightly under what it would normally read out anyway due to an abnormally low atmospheric pressure. Obviously this only affects Naturally aspirated engines.had a great time guys and im glad i got the car dyno'ed as i can finally sort it out properly! next time im gonna try and beat Al's,or atleast beat his torque levels,i was only 25-30 odd NM torque behind ya and im coming to getcha! heheI'd best get that front mount and hybrid turbo ordered... lolNah seriously, I think my gearbox is pretty much pushed to its limit really...A bigger turbo and a front mount would help give it more bhp, but I don't think I'd get any more torque out of it.

vworks41 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Anybody got any figures for the loops then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeAl Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) I think Foxy's did 142bhp and Vinny's did 123bhp.Faithless' Arosa sport ran 111bhp Edited November 30, 2008 by AwesomeAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Every quick FWD car should have a diff, makes a massive difference.Put my RR graph here:http://www.clublupo.co.uk/GTA/GTAdyno.JPG270bhp ATW - something wasn't quite right with the drivetrain losses as its only 8%, I've been told it should be at least 15%, which gives me a bottom figure of 317bhp, not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyGTI Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Yea, mine was 123 hp at the wheels and 132 hp on the fly.Vinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDGM Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Must say Matt, Your torque graph is friggin' amazing!A real 'wall of power'.Here's mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Why is everyones drivetrain losses so low?I mean, assuming ATW power is correct in all cases, and taking into account a 15% drivetrain loss (although I understand it varies on all cars) then Vinny is running 145bhp@fly, IDGM is running 195bhp, Foxy is running 155bhp.Al told me the the Dyno Tech said atmospheric pressure was low, which is fair enough, but the figures confuse my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeAl Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Everyones drivetrain losses are not so low... Take a look at other rolling road graphs on our site: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/page.php?xPage=rollingroad.htmlTwin roller rolling roads read a lower wheel power and over correct to give the engine power. Hense why most rolling roads the drivetrain loss is 15% ishHowever on ours there is only one roller, which gives half the resistance, thus half the amount of power lost through the transmission. As said in my PM to you, Figures for N/A Cars will have been down slightly due to the atmospheric pressure being fairly low.Also Different rollers calculate the engine power differently and read the wheel power differently.

VinnyGTI Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Al, will you be putting the results on the website like last time?Vinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I suffered from too much torque this morning. Even tried setting off in third and it just spun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeAl Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I suffered from too much torque this morning. Even tried setting off in third and it just spun.Yeah I had a few issued this morning. Because of the hill I have to get up to get onto the main road, It was physically impossible to drive up it so I had to slide back down the distance I'd managed and back into my driveway for a short while this morning.Nightmare... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
