Another dynodynamics RR day (midlands)

Indeed! Always nice to have a real conversation without having to use smilies to convey the humour.

Any torque figures?

Only what you can make out from the graph, so around 340lbft for Greenouse and a VERY smooth 260 for Steve, which must be very nice to drive... although there is so much more there to be had once that milltek goes on. Not really sure what's going on with the zigzagging on Greenouse's plot.. looks similar to what happens when you leave the ESP on, but I'm sure they turned that off in all the cars.. so could even be wheelspin (it was damp).

Oh and cheers to Dave for organising!

Although not a Mk5 owner it was a pleasure to meet the chaps off the forum although there is a small amount of jealousy at some very tidy motors!

[markymark]

Agreed Dan, it was great to put some faces to names and oggle those lovely R32's. Rupo's R32 sounded absolutely awesome, really made me want one! Im not going to blow anymore smoke up Greeney's ar$e *said in a totally jealous voice* as I think he has had enough now!!

He said on the second run there was a spike in the fuelling? Also noticed when I drove it away after the run the A/C was on  , and the car was stone cold when it went on. Not sure why or what effect either would have, but the RR operator seemed more then happy with it........ And so am I 

[Saint Steve]

Running from cold will make the car run richer!!!, not good for the car running at high rpm either!!. why didnt you say something nathan!!, i would go nuts if they blasted mine from cold!.

Not sure if it would effect your Results but still not a clever way of doing it.

[joesgti]

did he not warm it up on the RR first? 

[topher]

It gets run up for a couple of minutes while calibrating the wheel speed, and they don't do the full load test until you can see from the AF graph that any cold-start fuelling has gone away (which is why in most cases the first run they appear to record is stopped short by 50% of the bhp).

Nope it was straight on and off he went!!

Ahh I see, still isnt what you call warmed up though.

[topher]

Oil probably won't have been up to full temp until the second run.. safe enough though
