Recommended dyno kent
 

Hey all, looking at getting a dyno power run done before I start modifying the blob. Can anyone recommend a decent place to go? I'm based in sittingbourne but don't mind travelling withing reason to go to the right place

Only place to go as far as I'm concerned is Charlie's for scoob .
www.surreyrollingroad.co.uk

Surrey probably the best for Scoobys, usually a wednesday lol
Have also used Dynotech in Erith with my Evos

Looks like surrey is the best bet then and cheaper on sats :)

did you find out how much as im looking to get mine done...

Looks like £50 normally but website says £40 on Saturdays...
Let us know if u defo planning on going and perhaps we can troop down together

have you thought about BD engineering in newington?? they have a 4wd rolling road...

ah didnt realise it was a 4wd there.. think i may give them a call as i only want a power run done for now

i msged him friday....guys on hols till 21st..he said £55 for a power run but can only give power at wheels... its worth a thought

Right guys, you've given me the kick up the backside I needed.

I am going to organise a SES Rolling Road Day at Charlie's (Surrey Rolling Road)

It will be beginning of November on a Saturday if Charlie can oblige, I will speak to him as soon as I can get hold of him. I will start a thread as soon as I have more details.

awesome i'll keep an eye out for the thread

cool beans!!!:smile:

Thanks Simon :)

For what its worth, I wouldn't bother with other rolling roads, Charlie's a good bloke and knows scoobs inside out. Plus you've got a good figure to compare, as everyone else uses Surrey too!

makes sense to me...i just want to know where mine is at and that its safe and running as it should fuel wise... lets get this done!!!!:drive:

I'd be interested after my disappointing day at Austec, be nice to see how different if at all the readings are :)

anymore news on this....?????:)

I'll get the first +1 in :)

Nothing out of the ordenary there then !

Can sort for you as speak to him 3 or 4 times a week plus see him a couple a times a week if you want me too :)

At the wheels is best anyway :-)

Will be interested in getting both mine on the dyno but I have a Wednesday off fora change next month so will pop one up To srr then:-D

Only other place other than SRR I would go is Eurospec in Guildford, never had a bad dealing with them back in the civic days.

Yep everyone shot consistently low at Austec which after some googling seems to be the norm.
SRR do seem to be the standard everyone uses so would be great to run the car again there :)

Any news on a rr day down at srr yet??

fitting walbro next week and ill be ready to go....

Think it be early next year :)

im thinking about the weekend of the 9th at BD engineering...just to get a ruff guide to where it is at to lean to rich boost ect....

Have u spoke to bd? How much do they charge for a power run??

right a mate of mine is doing a rolling road day at Orpington.. they have 17 cars so far...it isn't a 1 make thing but is a closed to club invite only...

there be afew interesting motors there fwd rwd 4wd.. this will be on the 9th.

if your interested pm your number and I will get you in..£40 3 runs

Not bd engineering in newington??

na thats £55 1 run...

its not an st owners day is it??

Where in Orpington? Very local to me ;)

lol no mate it isnt lol...

Na it's just I got a focus st owner mate going on a rr day on the 9th and I'm sure he said it was in Orpington.... I'll be up for the one u mention though :)

haynesdynotec....???

well im not aware that it is...lol...devo not just focus sts...

its on all day... but im working till 12.30.... so i will go in the afternoon...if your up for it pm me you number and ill get you on list..theres only 2 spaces left..

so you and bytes...????

Thanks for the name. If it's this one http://www.hayesdynotech.co.uk/dyno.html they seem to be in Erith though! (Hayes Engineering, Unit 2A, Europa Trading Estate, Erith, Kent DA8 1QL) ;)

you are correct..lol there was a venue change and the guy that told me got mixed up lol....

iv just spoken to him there 2 spaces left 20 cars max...

Your get about 25bhp more than Surrey RR

why???....and does that mean surreys is wrong or hayes is wrong???...

i understand tyre pressures how hard the car is strapped down how big or small the fan is all make a difference to the figure but...25bhp just because it isnt at surrey....???

or is it the software they use...is it set wrong?? dont they know how to calibrate the system???

whats the facts behind...a 25bhp difference??

2 mates had there Evo's mapped there last month, then went to Surrey RR yesterday and both made roughly 25bhp less there... All depends on what they use to calculate 4wd losses when showing at the flywheel

isnt it 20% loss for 4wd....that seems to be what most ppl say...my E3 went to TDI and they went with the 20% loss..
