960 kg for a guess! nice weight loss Ben

 

[ben_p]

woohooo

what power to wieght is 400hp and 960kgs?

 

[FlameR]

416.6 per tonne

 

[ben_p]

cool.

 

[ben_p]

can you post the formula to work it out please

 

[Ad]

bhp / (wieght ton) = bhp per tonne

to work out the wieght in tonnes take the kg weight and divide by a thousand.

/ = divide.

p.s ill ring ya in an hour..

 

[TheJesus]

just go on www.letstorquebhp.com and put your figures into the calculator mate

 

[Oggy997]

1000/960

1 tonne over actual weight

*

400 (power)

 

[FlameR]

just divide the bhp by the current weight of the car, which works out the bhp per kg, then times that by 1000 (number of kgs in a ton)

 

[ben_p]

cheers

 

[TheJesus]

also if it's lost 140kg's then it now weighs 920kg's in theory, as they are 1060kg's stock.

 

[Oggy997]

400BHP Clio :O

 

[fmp_]

pics?

where is the 400 bhp coming from?

 

[TeZ]

400 bhp wicked. lets have a butchers

 

[ben_p]

its 8 weeks away

but about 8k and 8 weeks work away. i am about 30% there so far

 

[ben_p]

im using f4r by the way too. no VAG etc.. just a "tuned 172 lump" and its not a dirty turbo:dead:

400bhp n/a 172 lump

Or you supercharging it?

 

[ben_p]

anyway moving on. you will all have to wait 8 weeks.

cheers for the power to wieght stuuf

 

[TeZ]

heehehh ur a tease ben_p .

 

[Fletcher]

8K 400BHP

 

[Andyman]

Must be twin engined

Doubt any charger would boost a 172 lump up to 400

 

[TheJesus]

wont be NA, will be charged. if it's NA it wont last long at all.

charged with bottom end mods, cams, larger throttle body or ITB's will easily do 400+bhp

[MarkM]

lol.

I like your style it will be the most tuned renault engined 172 by far. I think give you another couple of weeks and you will be fitting a turbo aswell

 

[MarkM]

What ECU are you going for?

 

[ben_p]

im not sure Mark. ive heard a load of horror stories about the omex in the last few months.

plus im not sure it will run all the "parts"

this i am at a loose end

forgot that F&F style NOS could also be used... you did mention that before somewhere. Sounds interesting though...

 

[ben_p]

shhh shhh

 

[TheJesus]

lol, well I think I have an idea on what you are going for... charged for sure, ITB's as well as some bottom end work. Would have thought an Omex can run all that no problem and not really heard much about problems with them... if mine ever broke I'd just speak to Richard at Omex and the problem would be sorted out almost immediately
