Depends what it weighs....?

 

[Adam_Glanza]

bout 270 approx?

Good man Dave. You just do this:

BHP (e.g. 200) x Weight (e.g, 800KG) divided by 1000 (1000kg in a tonne) and there you go.

Starlets are all about power to weight ratio

bens works out as 317bhp per tonne ! madness! power to weight rocks

 

[Toby@ToyTuning.com]

Sure does Kelly, it's all good and well having 500hp but if the car ways 2 tonnes then it's not going anywhere Ours will be more than Ferrari F50 when it's done

The timing calculator isnt bang on but does give an idea,

How do you get 800kgs mate?

 

[Stig]

stripped out matey.............. lol

 

[rickw]

yeah the power to weight ratio is great
got mine done today was 235, my mate got his 180sx done that was 300bhp, had a quick race an their was nuting in dem

 

[rickw]

wat does a 1995 nissan 180sx, sr20 weight doe anyone know??
wat wud the power to weight be on that if it was 300bhp??

 

[TurboDave]

Roughly;

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 254.01 for the 180sx

 

[rickw]

cheers mate
wat weight did you hav for the car looed it up der and was 1220kg

 

[TurboDave]

I put in 1200kgs mate.

Not all about power to weight ratio though... maybe on acceleration but not top end pull.... thats when torque/dispalcement kicks in... a 1.3 with a very good power to weight ration will be super fast until a point, then after that move over for the bigger cars...... (providing they have good power too obviously...... and im talking high speeds here.....

 

[Adam_Glanza]

end of the day tho when in a race do you ever use that kinda high speed?

unless your on a motorway but then its pretty foolish to be doing that sorta speed

Some Wangan shit :rockon:

You also need to take into consideration...

• Torque
• Traction
• Drivetrain
• Driver skill

Power to weight is a good one though. Starlets shock a good number of people.
