Will my 112MPH Limiter be a problem on RR

[Perrin21]

Hi, im going to the rolling road day on Saturday, will the 112 MPH limiter on my car prevent an accurate result?

Last time I rolled my 200sx I hit 162.8 mph so it might be but I'm sure someone on here will correct me

No, you'll get an accurate result... but it will stop at 7200rpm in 4th gear. I guess if you're still making power at that point you won't get an accurate measure, but then you can't use it anyway.

My dyno print out just shows everything drop to zero at that point, but seeing as the peak power is earlier it doesn't really matter.

At surrey rr they use 3rd gear

I wasn't too impressed with my result because my gearbox had really long ratio's so i think mine had a little more to give.
I feel sorry for the poor engine's when there on the rollers. What time is it startin because i have foolishly booked in for mot at 10:45

When I had mine RR'd they used 3rd gear as well so I think the best plan is to find out what gear they use (3rd or 4th) and go from there as in 3rd you will have no issues but in 4th you will be banging off the limiter.

Isn't 4th usually preferred as that's the closest to a 1:1 ratio between the engine and the wheels?

Starts at 9am Mike

If you want to be the 1st on you can be?

i guess being able to get high enough in the rev band to hit the limiter would be a start lol.

So what happened then?

 

[PobodY]

Someone started firing a machine gun I think.... tak tak tak tak tak

I had a misfire at 6700 rpm.
