How do you come up with flywheel power then?

The test is carried out in fourth gear. (This is because 4th is usually direct on most cars so gives the least losses). We dial no load into the rollers and get the car rolling in 4th at 1000 rpm. Then the throttle is opened fully and resistance is applied to match engine power. As engine power increases (when the turbo comes in) the resistance is increased, just to provide a steady smooth rate of acceleration. When maximum power has been shown and power is decreasing the transmission is disengaged and allowed to free-wheel on the rollers. This means the huge amount of energy built up into the rollers is reversed and they drive the transmission up to the clutch.

There is then a negative torque reaction and the amount of power required to drive the transmission is added to the power previously measured at the wheels. Simple eh?

Um it was a rhetorical question -- my explanation, sorry Power Engineering's explanation, is given below that question...

Not at all Kerry, but as i said RR's measure power @ wheels, fly is threoretical and all RR's read differently.
I've read it all...

How is is theoretical on a manual car when they can measure the drag on the rollers with the car free-wheeling?
