HT Rolling Road

[RS2000CUSTOM]

dont forget richyc

Not forgetting anyone but do others think the idea could work ?

BMEP = bhp x 13000 divided by litres x rpm .
234 x 13000 divided by 2.1 x 8107 =
3042000 divided by 17024.7 = 178 psi

was only joking about his Torque

but how much those portable rollers cost to hire - shootout at the Lakes

There's a rolling road day for old Fords taking place at DS Automotive on their Dyno-Dynamics rolling road in June . I'll post up all the details in a minute and all cars from this site are welcome to attend . Should be a good day out .

A company local to me has access to one

Also Andy Galagher has one oop Norf in sweaty sock land so maybe he could be persuaded to come along

Then Martin C can come play in his Rofl special

i'd wanna see if andyc's could even make it up the ramp - also an exclusion zone of 500 feet in case something falls off

Ok it's on Saturday the 19th of June and RetroFord mag will be comming with the cameras . The Dyno is in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, it is a Dyno Dynamics 4 wheel rolling road and is at DS Automotives (http://www.dsautomotives.co.uk) .

Arron said on friday that classic ford were having quick pinto shootout
at HT,sure he said it was next week.

I did ask about the % loss.
He said the % stays the same.Its just that the more you have the more you lose.
100 bhp - 300 bhp would lose 3 times as much,the % figure would be the same.

Yes they've got a pinto dyno day at H.T's soon but it's invite only i think and not thrown open to everyone . A couple of my mates are taking their cars down for it .
In regard to your quoted 10.4% transmission loses (22bhp) then that is not enough , the loses on 234bhp would be around 37bhp (197bhp at the wheels) . They may have set up the dyno so that the "coastdown" transmission loses are a bit lower to keep the estimated flywheel numbers a bit more realistic . Don't forget that a rolling road can only measure power/torque at the wheels and the rest is a guess . Hope that makes sense .

Its for sure invite only
Only one HT pinto on the rollers,should blow the rest away.
