As has been mentioned elsewhere before, this whole 'at the flywheel' rubbish is just useless. What difference does it make what the figure 'at the flywheel' is? Ultimately it's only the bit that gets applied to the road (via the wheels and tyres) that does the driving, isn't it? So all you really need is the measurement of torque at the wheels, surely??

I would recommend phoning Alwyn's and just asking them to explain EXACTLY how they arrive at the 'at the flywheel' figure, based on the only thing they can directly measure, the torque at the wheels.

I would certainly be interested in the answer - I've heard lots of different suggestions as to how it's done. wink

I wouldn't say it was nessisarily a waste of time (or money!) Fletch, just that you need a little more information to make sense of what your printout actually means. I don't imagine that Alwyn's would have a problem with explaining the process to you and then you can decide how much use it is.

I would agree with Tim in that if you were going to have it tested again (after further mods, say) then it would be sensible to go back to the same place again (but shouldn't really be compulsory - but that's another story!).
