1) Road ENGINE BENCH test and GRAPHs manager
THIS IS A MATHEMATICAL approach to estimate vehicle power and torque!
It function doesn’t replace a real Dynamometer.
The goal of this tool is to test the vehicle on THE SAME ROAD and in the SAME CONDITIONS to evaluate engine power and torque differences.
Procedure:
You need a straight, flat, even and quiet road.
From the Road ENGINE BENCH menu select Settings and fill out all fields in the form. You can also get and copy data from the Vehicle database present in the menu.
Weight data is the most important parameter. Database will return the curb weight plus 80Kg. You can adjust this value as you prefer, power and torque results will be automatically recalculated.
If you already have a saved file you can restore data from it. This will save time and ensure same parameters for a second run.
Select a gear (usually 3rd or 4th ).
Tool will help you in selecting it.
If run takes an insufficient number of samples or gear ratio is not correct tool will show you hint messages.
With the selected gear reach 1700/2000 rpm and press the start button or F1 key. If all parameters are correct, tool will show you a message telling to slow down under 1500rpm. Now floor the accelerator and wait the red line limiter. For AT cars find a solution to avoid shift at kick down.
Brake and wait for results.
Auto save will store *.pwr files here: C:\Users\”your account name”\Documents\My Power Files. You can also save the file with other name and other path pressing the save button. Changing weight, temperature, barometric pressure and vehicle body settings you can adjust results without running another test. Remember to save again if you want to keep this configuration.
You can load up to two files for comparison and also print the graph.
Workshop Name, address ,etc. can be added from the main menu.
2) Acceleration test and results manager
Procedure:
You need a straight, flat, even and quiet road.
Stop, Press F1 or start button.
Accelerate up to the speed you want.
Sampling will stop automatically at vehicle slow down.
Auto save will store *.acc files here: C:\Users\”your account name”\Documents\My Stopwatch Files.
You can also save the file with other name and other path pressing the save button.
Load button to load a saved acceleration test.
Print Button to print acceleration table.
Workshop Name, address ,etc. can be added from the main menu.
