thanks chris, that site is extremely useful. I think I've got it figured out now. it has a part about an "intertia dyno" which is just like what i was describing, so i won't need to provide a load for on the flywheel besides its own weight. i really appreciate all the help

i calculated the torque from looking at the formula for power. and i used the engine's measured stroke as the distance, but now I'm thinking that doesn't really work? all i'll have is a hand held tachometer (with a laser) that i will measure off the flywheel. and the engine isn't turbo'd, its a...

i've got an engine to work with, and i have the basic specs of it like peak hp @ an rpm. but, i don't have figures for torque. I need to know how i can measure the torque of the engine with different fuels. I calculated the torque of the engine from their hp figure, but I'm having trouble...
