Joe..
You are correctt re the 172, there is something wrong!.
What I mean by taking into account the transmission loss etc is the use of the 0.0013, and in fact the 375 as constants. this, I presume, is in lieu of actual figures.
Also, looking closer, the rwd conversion also uses a constant that...
in fact ben, think of the advantages of the common boost transfer.. I think it would work well, its self governing to equal out the torque delivery.. would need a small turbo for first stage and a bloody huge turbo for the second stage..
yes.. sounds like a plan
He is correct gr.. you need to donate it to us for a radical build...
should have about 500 bhp at the wheels n 4wd.. with a torque curve that a twin engined r5 could only dream off..
for strip racing.. we could feed both exhausts to 1 common BFO serial turbo drive... probably get 400 bhp...
difficulty here is the calculation of weight and the 0.013 as a constant.
It dont take into account tyre pressures or contact are either - or, actual transmission / drive losses, a lot of mags also test top speed from speedo, without using decent test gear.
But, its a good guide.
here ya go..
