The way I would test it is to rev the car to 6000rpm in third gear, come OFF the throttle allowing the revs / rollers to slow the car down to 5000rpm. As soon as it hit 5000rpm, step on the throttle again and rev to 6000rpm - repeat with ALS on. Then using the T6 or Pectel monitor data-logging, check the time that it took to get from 5000 to 6000 on each run. In theory the run with the ALS on should take a shorter time, as the ALS would have kept the turbo spooling off throttle, whereas with it turned off, you would just be relying on the exhaust gasses to spool the turbo back up.

I have never seen a timed run scale before, but maybe?

However, using the Pectel datalogging would be MUCH more accurate.

So EVEN if you could persaude someone to do that (and risk launching the car off the rollers ), all you would notice is less of a drop off in bewteen the shift "dips" on the graph. Nothing more than that .

I wouldn't even know where to find a dyno like that in the UK, although I am sure there must be a few?

Most seem to be the twin roller type, which would mean that the car would climb out of the rollers if that was attempted .

Mega video, but you can hear the wheel-spin, so would not give any accurate print out in the lower gears .

Skylines sound awesome at high revs .

What about Dynapack (HUB dyno's), woud they not enable the comparative full throttle in lower gear ALS test that we are after?

If they are able to do full bore runs without overloading the retarders, then yes you could do a full bore run like on the above video.

However, I keep telling you that there will be no difference in the boost curve (threshold) therefore POWER curve, other than less of a drop off between the gears and a faster re-spool ONCE INSIDE THE BOOST THRESHOLD! Which part of that don't you understand .

The part where you once said "Test DONT guess" .............so the burden of proof is on YOU

I have had ALS on my car for four years - I think I understand what it does and doesn't do .

collins performance have a Superflow chassis dyno like that, was fitted last year.

they use a 4 foot roller for each axle to give maximum contact patch and simulate a normal road as best as poss, and they both rotate at the same time, hence the wheelspin i guess as the rear would have more torque bias on the launch
