Its bolted to an eddy current dynamometer, basically it controls the speed by providing an opposing force; so you hold the engine at 3000rpm and alter the throttle position which enables the engine to be mapped; ie change the fuel, ignition, etc... I make the frames and run the dynamometers whilst in this case Phil from GG motorsport is doing the mapping. It then can be run against a transient dynamometer or rolling road to set the transient sections, ie when running through the rpm at differing throttle loads. There is a good article on both mapping and dynamometers on Wikipedia which is far better than my piss poor explaination.Grrrmachine wrote:I'd love to know more! Do you just bolt the engine up to a big electric motor and spin it round at maximum revs?
