    Rolling Road Day - 13th August - SWICT


    Right then ladies and gentleman, we have booked the rolling road at South West In Car Tech in Chipping Sodbury on the 13th of August at 11am.

    SWICT uses a MAHA LPS 3000 2 Wheel Drive Dynamometer, which is arguably the best, most accurate automotive performance tester available. It is the choice for many automobile manufactures for development and final testing at the factory, providing repeatable accurate results. Usually within 1%!!
    Features include:
    •Measuring true crankshaft horsepower and torque, No more random power train loss guessing. This dyno measures drivetrain loss during each run cycle.
    •Provides SAE Corrected Horsepower and Torque depending on atmospheric data.
    •Small roller size aids in very accurate power measurements but not so small too be unstable.
    •The Eddy Current brake can measure power up to 850 hp.
    •Direct data acquisition from the OBDII port. RPM, Air/Fuel, Boost, Ignition Timing can be logged and plotted.
    •Special setting for Naturally Aspirated, Turbo and Supercharged cars and trucks.
    •High pressure 10,000 cfm cooling fans for accurate thermal control

    Wow i hear you say, at what cost is all this technology?, well let me tell you!

    For the fantastic members price of £35 (£40 for non-members) you will get you three runs, logging boost pressure, inlet temps, graphs of torque, power at wheels, trans loss and flywheel power. Your car will need high grade fuel, with good wheel balancing and tracking true.

    Payment is required in full, paid via paypal to events@sxoc.com.
    Dont forget to include your username and please put "Cheesy Mashed Potatoes" into the description so that we know which event it is for.
    NO FUNDS - NO RUNS

    Gonna be touch and go if I can make that,
    I have to replace my oil pump before the car can go anywhere and even then I'd have to get the day off work to make it.

    Might be worth a mass PM to the people in the area - Mats13 said he should be running but forgot about it! -

    I'll probably pop over, will clear it with the wife tonight

    Matt can you see if they will allow us to put on a BBQ? I will happily get one sorted if enough turn up for this

    Edit: have you advertised in the neighbouring counties? might get some of those sheep lovers over

    Surely that applies to FWD cars more than it does RWD?

    Absolutely gutted, been wanting to get on a RR since I got the 200 - Timing is just too close to my wedding - Thought I might be able to squeeze it in but I don't think that is gonna go down well.

    If there is a chance it gets moved to something beyond the 4th Sept then I would happily put my money down now.

    Sorry Matt - thanks for your efforts

    Is it £40 if you go along on your own?

    Ok put me on the list bro just paid by paypay.

    Just one question SWIT say they monitor boost and AFR by OBD2 this wont be possible on an Sbody so can this data still be plotted?
