Determining Engine Inertia
I have an AC dyno, with a torque ring, so motoring isn't an issue. If I ramp the engine between 2500 and 3000 and back with 2s ramps, and repeat the activity at a higher speed (say 5500-6000) would this work? would a longer ramp be needed? Is there a simple calculation? Thanks!- Ratty66
