Engine Calibration Services on our rolling road
Based in Watton, Norfolk, we have our own workplace with a rolling road where we can provide various engine calibration services. Our rolling road is used in two ways, steady state mode for mapping and also in acceleration mode which allows the computer to produce repeatable power curves.
The rolling road measures a maximum of 330bhp at the wheels up to a speed of 160mph. Depending on transmission/tyre losses this equates to a maximum flywheel figure in the region of 360 – 390bhp. If necessary these figures can be doubled but any engine making over 500bhp will have traction problems.
The software logs the power output at 1mph intervals and can measure the power losses through the transmission and tyres using a coast-down test. The results can be plotted and extracted for further analysis.
