THE ALVIS TUNING CLINIC

A 'health check' for your Alvis

Performance
The Sun ‘RAM 3000 Dynamometer’ rolling road, Crypton CMT 511 engine diagnostic facility and ‘SBA 2000’ brake tester allow our skilled technicians to measure:

  • BHP for all Alvis models
  • Ignition system
  • Fuel system
  • Emissions
  • Mechanical losses
  • Brake retardation and balance
  • Instrument calibration

Engine performance varies with temperature, humidity and barometric pressure.  Our rolling road diagnostic takes these factors into account and provides an environmentally compensated reading.

Efficiency
Optimised ignition and fuelling mean optimised fuel economy and power output. The tuning centre’s ‘coast down’ facility allows Red Triangle’s technicians to produce power figures measured at the flywheel and the wheels. This enables them to assess whether the mechanical losses of your vehicle’s drive train are acceptable.

Only Red Triangle has the original factory data and specification for every Alvis car ever produced. Only Red Triangle can be absolutely sure that your car is as Alvis intended it to be and our new Tuning Clinic helps us do this even more efficiently.

Reliability
An efficient engine is a reliable engine. Poor tuning can cause serious problems such as worn bores, holed pistons, or burnt out valves.

The rolling road can accurately reproduce real world driving conditions. If your car has an elusive fault that only occurs in certain situations, we can reproduce that problem in a controlled environment whilst the vehicle is connected to the diagnostic equipment. Oscilloscope readings can be overlaid to pinpoint an electrical problem and the sophisticated emissions analysis facility can show us how efficiently the fuel is being burned at different engine speeds or loads.

Door-to-Door Service
Red Triangle’s value for money pledge means our state-of-the-art tuning equipment, calibrated specifically for Alvis cars, allows our technicians to quickly pinpoint a problem, saving our time and your money!

One phone call to Red Triangle is all it takes to arrange the collection of your Alvis in
our fully enclosed vehicle transporter. Your car will be returned with a detailed report, so you will know exactly why your car feels so much better.

A ‘ROLLING ROAD’ FOR ALVIS CARS

Using our chassis dynomometer with original factory data we can ensure your car performs as Alvis intended 

  • Brake Horse Power
  • Power curves for all Alvis models
  • Ignition systems
  • Fuel systems
  • Emissions
  • Mechanical losses
  • Brake retardation and balance
  • Instrument calibration

Our 'rolling road' can accurately reproduce real world driving conditions in a controlled environment whilst the vehicle is connected to the diagnostic equipment.

For example, oscilloscope readings can be overlaid with original Alvis data and show comparisons with the fuel being burned at different engine speeds or loads. Power at both the flywheel and the wheels can then be measured to assess whether the mechanical losses are acceptable. We can also optimise ignition and fuelling systems, thus improving fuel economy and power output.

Our specialised equipment enables us to quickly identify where an adjustment is needed, which otherwise might take hours to detect. This means improved efficiency and reliability from your Alvis at minimal cost.
