Rolling road graph analysis

[golfinger]

Had the LCR in a rolling road to see what power it is actually making and below are the results:

The car is still pretty new to me and as I understand it, the following mods have been done:

• Revo Stage 1
• BMC Induction Kit

Goes the graph seem about right? I was expecting slightly better...

 

[caveo]

Why did they run it in 3rd?? they usaly run it in a gear which ratio is closest to 1:1 whitch is 4th or even 6th i think. ( most are done in 4th )

No idea, I'm clueless with motors!

And its defo an LCR not just an LC ??

Ha, yeah... I'm clueless about motors but not that stupid! Def LCR.

 

[m0rk]

it's not made the boost, because the load was so low (in 3rd)

I hate to say it guys but he took it to Triton for god sake! What do you expect......

You'd be supprised how many folk say i bought an lcr take a look...... and we have to tell em the bad news ( its an lc )

Don't really want to hijack a thread but I had mine on the RR and wondered what everybody thought?

Suppose we can use mine as a comparison to the OP too:

 

[BCM]

What mods you got?
Can't really comment without knowing.

265-275 is about right for a stage 1 lcr

 

[Nabraxas]

I'm guessing we look at the corrected figure?

 

[caveo]

Not on a lcr at stage 1 as the twin side mounts cope ok at that level

I had it proved to me that on a DD dyno, there's no difference between 3rd and 4th gear runs in Shootout4 mode.

I sat in the car while he did it, watching the screen. The plot for my 3rd gear run was on the monitor and the 4th gear run just built bang over the top of it - within 2bhp at any point.

(DD dynos + ME7 = other can of worms )

 

[Nabraxas]

What sort of RPM should I be shifting up at to keep the car going well and accelerating to its maximum ability?

 

[BCM]

I'd say shift up about 5.3k, that'll prob be about 5.6 on your tacho.
Overe taking, 3k should give you plenty of power and torque and enough revs to last to actually overtake without shifting!

 

[DPJ]

Your best acceleration is going to be made in your 'sweet spot' of torque between 3k and 4.5k rpm.

 

[Nabraxas]

So, I should really shift up about 5,000rpm to drop it back into maximum torque? Only asking as I'm slightly concerned that I couldn't shake off a 106 GTi.
