How do i work out power to weight for a car weighing 350kgs and has 140bhp?

 

power to weight = power(bhp)/weight(Ton)

therefore 140/0.35 = 400 bhp per ton

 

How much boost are you running?

 

Boost?

 

That manly thing that comes out of a turbo.

 

Nice power to weight


His car is N/A, like it says in his siggy

 

Well his car isnt manly without boost

 

Overboost

 

so whats the general rule of thumb with this

the power in bhp divided by the weight e.g

300bhp / 1.0 (1000kg) = 300bhp per ton

so for a car with 300bhp and weighs 1500kg the formula would be

300/1.5 =?

thanks

Power / weight x 1000

 

where id the 1000 come from?

 

Weight in KGs....

 

oh right yeh... sorry... lol i did that before hand... lol

 

1024 in a tonne my dear boy.

 

Hmm

Unless americans use a different messure?

 

Will be powered by a ZX10 engine that revs to over 10,000rpm who the hell needs a turbo lol. May fit Nos though for a bit of extra fun.

 

Ive been in a 350kg kit car with a fireblade engine and it was absolutely awesome!!!

 

thought 1 metric tonne is 1000Kg.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonne


and 1 imperial ton is 2,240 lb (exactly 1,016.0469088 kg).

 

dont they teach maths in schools these days?

 

did some caluclations on the track maestro few weeks back

I know the maestro weight but guessed on cossie and scooby

Maestro 790kg = BHP Per Tonne 278bhp

Cossie 1300kg ish @ 350bhp =Per tonne 269bhp

Scooby 1600kg ish @ 420 =Per tonne 262bhp

All good just stopping, cornering and everything else is the issue

 

dont forget the weight of the driver!

my bike all in with me and tank of fuel is about 350bhp/ton

and that goes faily well lol

 

i was gonna say what about the driver,,,, as thats gonna shite on your bhp per ton figures in the pub

450k i would guess with driver,, though dont know how big you are

either way a nice idea and a fun car
