In association with Total Vauxhall, Vsport have arranged a dyno 'shootout' day. We are hoping for 30 cars, 15 places have already been taken up by the Astra Owners Club so it leaves 15 more available. Will take place at Vsport on April the 5th
Costs are as follows:
Basic Run is £30 and you will get power and torque (at flywheel) graphs. Gives a good indication of how the engine is running and can show up any possible problems that may not be apparent under normal driving conditions.
Full run is £40 and you will get the same as the basic run plus an air/fuel ratio graph and a boost graph (if car is turbocharged) this is an Ideal option for modified engines and can also show where more power can be made and what future mods will compliment the current setup.
the only requirements are:
2 wheel drive only
car must be in good condition
cars must not have any fluid leaks
cars with their tracking or wheel balance out will not be run
no cars with big engine problems, its not a diagnostic day.
Brakes, handbrake and suspension must all be working correctly
No smoky engines that are burning oil
no cars with over heating problems
cars interiors must be tidy i.e no redbull cans under the pedals or sellotape holding the gearknob on!
and thats it really, before you come along, check oil and water levels, check for any leaks, make sure its service schedule is up to date, check tyre pressures. The dyno operators have the right to check and refuse any cars where necessary. Its for the safety of the cars, staff and other customers attending.
any questions call us on: 0191 5365900
Dave.
