Hi everyone!
This is my first post so if it's not the right section, I would like the admins to move it where it belongs
I'm Giulio from Italy, and I've been playing with GSF Dyno for some months to test varius things on my Vespa PX (177 VMC at the moment).
I would like to ask you all for some help about this great software:
1) when comparing 2 setups (let's say, 2 exhausts), I usually do around 4 runs for each setup, then use the "mean" button to show the "average" graph. Now, if the setups to compare are more than 2, let's say like 3 or 4, this becomes very messy, because the lines on the left panel become too thin and impossible to read. Is there a way to avoid this? For example, being able to keep the "averages" graph only from the left panel, and delete everything else, this would be great.
2) I have this setup right now: VMC 177 alluminum (standard 114-171°), ported engine cases, si24, mazzucchelli crankshaft, intake timings are 120-70°, Megadella v5cl3. I'm trying different setups, but it runs around 18-19cv based on the setup I'm using, which looked like a normal average power, compared to similar setups tested on "real" dynos.
But I never took the time to actually measure the weight of my Vespa, I just left the standard "200kg" value from GSF Dyno. Today I googled for it, it says 98kg. I also tried to measure the weight with a common weight scale, first I placed the front tyre on it, then the rear tyre, then I added the 2 weight. Its 35 + 60kg = 95kg, which is ok considering I don't have the spare wheel equipped. But GSF Dyno asks for "total weight" (in the guide it says Total weight [kg]: that's the weight of the vehicle plus everything what was loaded on (driver, petrol...)". So that should be 95kg + 74kg (my weight) = 169kg. So drawing the graphs again with the new 169kg (instead of the default 200kg), the software shows a power of around 16cv, which is kinda low in my honest opinion, since that's what a good old Polini 177 cast iron makes. What do you think? I think my current setup is in fact around 18-19cv, not 16. But the REAL weight of the Vespa + driver is 169kg.
Any help will be greatly apreciated, thanks in advance
