    Coastdown procedure to extract road loads

    Hi Ian, The Bosch Automotive HB has something basic on calculating them, Fd=A+Bv+Cv^2. You could do a little equation solving Coast down 80 to 60 time and 30 to 20, two equation, three unknowns. I would set aero to zero at low speed and substitute that into high velocity. You'll have a lot of...

For a 6 cylinder 4 stroke @600 rpm, (600/60)= 10Hz, exhaust firing frequency tracted at same conditions lines up with 30Hz (600/60)*3 or 3rd order (30Hz). A lifter tick...
