Rolling Road Dynamometer Testing
and ECU Mapping |
|
| **
New Rolling Road facilities to be announced during 2010!! ** |
|
| When we carry out
significant performance upgrades, we will usually start
with a full diagnostic check and power run to ensure
that the vehicle is running correctly. A final power run
is always performed to check that the engine is behaving
correctly and fuelling is doing what it should be.
We use the same dyno for all before and after testing to
ensure a correct comparison is made. |
|
| In our experience correctly
calibrated roller-based dynamometers are
the most effective way to establish power
characteristics and measure fuelling. They are also the
most practical for making trims to existing maps and
are much less intrusive to the vehicle itself, reducing
the potential of increased stresses on wheel bearings, hubs and drive
flanges. |
|
| Correct airflow for engine
bay cooling and inlet air is also essential to achieving
consistent and accurate test results on the rolling
road. Multiple, variable speed fans can achieve this
more effectively. |
|
| Full diagnostics and data
acquisition equipment is used to allow us to closely
monitor your vehicles performance and pinpoint those
elusive faults that can lead to loss of performance. |
|
|
|
Against vehicle RPM, we can
measure and record as a minimum: |
|
 |
Torque, BHP (calculated back to the flywheel) |
|
Air Fuel Ratio (or lambda) |
|
Inlet air temperature (at the airbox) |
|
Boost Air Temperature (after the intercooler) |
|
Boost Pressure (SC cars) |
|
Injector Performance |
|
Ignition Advance |
|
|
| Customers who have
purchased tuning packages receive a copy of their power
graph at no extra charge. |
