matth76 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hi Is it at all possible for some rolling roads (that use rollers) to give different wheel horse power (power at the wheels) readings to other rolling roads (for example if they're calibrated differently)? Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 absolutely the dyno/rolling road is a tool - it's relative only unto itself. Comparing your results on dyno a, with another at dyno b, even if they are identically branded dyno's, is essentially useless. Stick to the same dyno at all times, and if all else fails, you'll know your gains relative to where you started in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many people wrongly assume they should give the same result. DynoDynamics try to compensate for this by having all their dynos hooked up to the net to share results and download updates to the software which is very admirable, but rarely works. As Adam says use the same Dyno and try to keep the conditions the same (temperature, humidity, etc). Make sure you get a base reading too, dont assume Nissans power claims are correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
