rolling road

[cupraolli]

ive just booked my car in for a rolling road tommorow anything i can do.
is there anything that may help it along abit?
really want it to do well hope it makes over 200

cheers oli

p.s i get scared as my last car went up in smoke on the rollers haha.

Yeh fit a GT28RS, that should help

A bit of V Power *may* help it a bit

 

[evo2345]

octane booster maybee

 

[cupraolli]

i wish haha not sure i could fit that tonight and ready for the morning.

ive got 1/2 a tank of normaly at the moment but might top it up with v power.

 

[evo2345]

what happend with your saxo

 

[truCido]

octane booster has actually been proved to lose you power....I think I've heard lowering the pressure in your tyres can help but make sure you can put it back up lol. Make sure your filters not clogged up / clean

someone overfilled the Oil lol

 

[cupraolli]

yer i had it service the day before and some prat put 1 litre to much oil in it. and it was coming out from everyhole possible and all over his nice rollers wooopppsss!

 

[evo2345]

I thought increasing the pressure helped? lol

 

[cupraolli]

arhhhhhhhh make your minds up lol

 

[truCido]

I thought increasing the pressure helped? lol

probably! lol technically increasing should mean less resistance on the rolling road....which is a good thing

 

[cupraolli]

ill try that haha. 280bhp here i come. or not but hay.

 

[JIMYU]

my last RR i notched up the pressures to 35 at the front, and it did well.

Surely you want a true (ish) result though? If you want to fugde the results then scan the print out and photoshop the graph/figures. Personally i'd leave it as it is then you know how much power you have when driving the car day to day not just that one time when you messed with tyre pressure and added octane booster.

 

[Robbie C]

Well said

 

[JIMYU]

I doubt adding 3 psi into your tyres is going to do much and as said octane boosters are proven to reduce power

 

[Beaker™]

No but changing pressures to extremes just to get results is pointless. By all means set the correct pressure for the car before going on the RR.

I agree whats the point in cheating so to speak. The reason you booked the RR session was to try and see what power your car is pushing so surly you would want a true reading?

My last RR day i pulled 197bhp that was with k03s revo stg2 according to logs the car was fine boost was spot on and maf figures good 172g/s. But i added some octane booster the night before and partly blame that or the fact of the dyno lottery.
