What is it?
It’s a software for Minis and derivates. With it, you can measure your engine power and torque when you want. But not only, you can make a simulation of your Mini performances and see the impact of some modifications, for example changing the flywheel weight, the wheel size, the gearbox ratios etc…
How is it working?
It’s based on the fundamental dynamic principle. With a sound file, which represents your engine speed, recorded during a road test, some other data you give about your Mini, the computer calculates your engine power and torque. The engine power depends on some factors like: -The transmission losses, which depends on the gearbox conception. For example, the number engaged pinions or their type. After making a cinematic and tribological study of the Mini gearbox, we determined precisely the transmission losses. -The inertia of the wheels and the engine (essentially flywheel and crankshaft) to determined it with a high accuracy, we have drawn their on a 3D CAD software some spares of engine, wheels and tires.
What’s the interest?
Different applications are possible. Simply knowing your engine power and torque or tuning your engine (ignition, carburettor …). “The Warrior Meter” can display eleven curves in the same graph. You can know the real effect of your stage 1 kit for example. You can compare the performances of an engine in different configurations (other gearbox, tires…) or the performances of different Minis you have tested.How much does it cost?
The Warrior Meter is a freeware, but you need a special cable to record. We don’t sell this cable. It is very simple and you can download the schema here. This cable cost no more than 3£ and you won’t spend more than 30 minutes to build it.Where can I get The Warrior Meter?
You can download here the last complete version. But you can download the Beta version, this version has more functionalities in test but not every time finished. If you want to contribute to the software development, that’s this version you need. To contact me by e-mail or instant massager, it’s here.
