OK, we have a date, the long awaited dyno is installed and raring to go.

The date is Saturday 7th May.

Pedro can sort the list, price will be £40 per car....Minimum of 10 required for the day to proceed. If we get over 20 attending the price will go down :)

Please see VT's website for the terms and conditions and any details.

I must also telll you that every car that is run will need to sign a disclaimer before they do...If this isnt done your car will not be running.

This day is for Volvo's only, no one else.

Spread the word people....I am going :)

As far as am aware you will get true figures for an auto, they just wont be as high as a manual as the box saps so much power

jim.covers

If thats the case i will b up for it, will try n look into it more and confirm soon.

cheers;)

AHHH, ta fraz, i thought i read somwer that u cant get true figures for a auto?

It is hard to get "true" figures out of an auto but VT have so much experience in Volvos and auto gearboxes that if anyone can get close then these guys can.

I have experienced chaps who have got close and chaps who had no clue and the difference was about 100bhp... that's a hell of a lot :)

Adam knows a lot about this subject and I trust that VT will give me as true a figure as I'm ever going to get which is why my name was second on the list. Sod the cost, sod the 4.5 hour return trip, sod the wife and kids - I wanna know the figures my car will produce god dammit ;)

Put me on the list please.

Wobbly Dave
Thursday 21st April 2005, 10:54
Put me down as coming but I probably will not run her.

Right lets clear this up -

You can run auto's on a dyno - it is just not possible to get a flywheel figure.

When you run a MT car on a dyno the computer can work out the flywheel figure, because when the clutch is disengaged the engine is truly disconnected from the transmission. The computer can work out this difference (there is a more technical explanation). When you flick an AT into the neutral position - you are still spinning the torque converter, the input shaft and the planetary gear systems - the flywheel is not trully running free. An educated guess can be made about the difference.

You can get a torque curve and WHP figure and measure all the other bits like AFR. Transmission loss is an approximation and as such so flywheel figures for an AT car.

As far as tranny losses go - Upto ~ 90 Mph my car is as fast as a Manual. I have a standing quarter of 14.6 and do 2.3 second 60ft times.
Over that 95mph the manuals fair better than me, currently. There is so little in it, in my personal experience - it boils down to personal preference.

Read the info on our web site.

volvotuning
Thursday 21st April 2005, 12:59
Regarding autos on the dyno - you can do it no problem, but you will only get a true reading at the wheels, not at the flywheel. The reasons for this are -

1. There is no clutch, so you can't disengage the whole transmission from the engine, therefore some transmission losses are unaccounted for, such as the torque converter and any rotating parts of the neutral gear.

2. The autos must not change gear or kick down on the dyno, so for this reason they need to be run in the highest gear that stops them changing down.

3. The auto box lockup will reduce power to the wheels if it doesn't lockup. Nothing you can do about that!

Adam.

Very good! :)

One other thing, we won't be dynoing any older AWD cars, such as the 1997-1999 V70R AWD models. But we CAN dyno the later Haldex AWD cars such as the S60R and new V70R, or any cars with the 4C system.

No oil leaks allowed I'm afraid - cos then we have to clean the rollers which is a real pain for us and everyone else who's waiting for their go.

Fix the leak!!!! :)

Go on chuck my name on the list i would be interested to see what this old bus is pushing out.Just wish you could move vt down to south wales or if the boys could upgraded me to 400bhp for free that would make the trip more enjoyable and then i could give them a detailed report on how it performed on my trip back , tell every one to buy the upgrade and make vt loads of money ,what do you reckon ? No i didn,t think so .
ps i,ll have to get a new clutch first my 74yr old mother is quicker of the mark

Ok folks!

A non-refundable deposit will be required of £15 to ensure that Adam and Hamish's wages for the day are paid even we get a few shirkers! This needs to be paid by credit card to Volvotuning direct - they take ALL credit cards.

Please PM me to confirm you have paid.

All those who want to attend but are, at this stage, unsure whether they can please let me know by bank Holiday Monday.

Doors open @ 9am on the day.

We need to have a running order in place which I will put together the week prior to the event so please post here if there is a particular time scale you need to work to and I will endeavour to fit you in at the right slot.

Food and drink will be provided - all cooking by Dave's fair hands and provided by VT (thanks very much guys!)

Anything else you need to know?

I'm all paid up!

What's the deal with parking down there? Is it a case of abandoning the car on the side of the road somewhere, then go and fetch it when it's time for my run? It would be an interesting challenge to get 15+ Volvos into their car park!

Justin
Wednesday 4th May 2005, 09:24
Parking will be interesting, however there will only be our cars there, no staff cars etc...we will manage.

If you havent paid get your fingers out.....:)
