BHP/Tonne tread?

[BIGS]

Its got me thinking on another forum i go on we have a thread with people bhp per ton and thought it could work well on here as abit of fun. who thinks it could work and be abit of fun?

[Mike]

Que sheetloads of those dodgy performance calculator copy & pasted replies....

[BIGS]

well no have to have your car on a rr and be weighed ect, but most would have already done this anyway

[trackdaynova]

Is this an Irish version of a thread?

[Mike]

^ yes.

[BIGS]

i dont get it :roll:

[Jack]

I forsee a lot of underweight and overpowered estimations here lol

I'd say the saloon was probably about 137bhp/ton, assuming its about 980kgs (735Kgs standard +XE, +ICE, +wheels, -rear seats, +junk etc) and 135bhp (I don't expect the engine to be anywhere near the standard 150).

As for the celica, feck knows. From handling/weighing the exhausts, wheels, and cat/decat, I've probably lost about 10-15kgs so its probably about 1370kgs now. Power... pass, although I'd not be surprised if it was only back up to standard power with the decat, filter and exhaust (no pub horsepower figures here like some people do lol), so 240bhp = 175bhp/ton.

However, in the spirit of this thread, mi novar is well lyt y0, so 500kgs and teh opel spark cover, powerflap, filter and laid flat seats give me 170bhp y0 s othats 5,000bhp per ton.

You know how the Moon moves round the Earth? Thats from the torque my engine makes Yo

[BIGS]

well dont know what mine is have to work it out. but its 113.5bhp and 120lbs torque. going to weigh it soon

[Shaun_O'Donnell]

You know how the planets in this solar system orbit the sun? well......

My car is slow a $hit.

[Philsutton]

my diesel made about 28bhp at the wheels last time it was on the RR and it weighs about 900kg lol

[Stuart]

approx 166bhp/Ton based on the plastic gayness weighing 850Kg

[Adam]

Id say mines about 150hp/ton

[BIGS]

hmm i can see this going only one way haha

[trackdaynova]

197.7 bhp / 727kg unladened = 0.2719394 (bhp per kg)

0.2719394 x 1000kg = 271.93 bhp / tonne

[dhdev (Oli)]

193bhp/640kgs = 301.56bhp/ton :D

[BIGS]

193bhp/640kgs = 301.56bhp/ton :D

i did wonder how long it would take you lol

[Adam]

193bhp/640kgs = 301.56bhp/ton :D
Insane........

[dhdev (Oli)]

Any thread with weight or power/weight in and my pager beeps lol

[BIGS]

pmsl

[trackdaynova]

I'm gonna get my ar.se handed to me at Donny then, and boy am I looking forward to it :D

[dhdev (Oli)]

Hell no, you're gonna school me good and proper! i already have an A4 folder full of excuses lol

[trackdaynova]

Yep, I know you'll have excuses, already picked up on the "i'm going to have to granny shift not to get black flagged"

Be a man, have no excuses.

[dhdev (Oli)]

How's about, I won't be able to see due to condensation? I'll be aqauplaning cos it's too light, I haven't been to donny for years, I haven't had the nova on track for over 12 months (embarassing I know) do you need more :p

Or it may be sunny and dry and I'll pwn ur ass lol

You edited that!!! That said ''have new excuses'' a minute ago! PMSL

[trackdaynova]

wicked, some healthy competition/ banter going down here... i like it, it'll give me something to actually do whilst on track

can i have some more excuses please? they're kinda humourous lol

[dhdev (Oli)]

I'll spend the next lecture thinking up some fresh ones lol

[trackdaynova]

I won't be able to see due to condensation? Fit a heater

I'll be aqauplaning cos it's too light. Rubbish, keep your foot in and you'll be reet

I haven't been to donny for years. No excuse, I did Cadwell that I'd never done before and I was going some.

I haven't had the nova on track for over 12 months (embarassing I know) - thats because you're gay

Or it may be sunny and dry and I'll pwn ur ass lol Bring it


Now if you said you'll be slow because you have a weener engine, now thats a valid excuse

[Welsh Dan]

The good ship mondeo smokes out about 130bhp and weighs 1500KG (the moon /2) which I work out to be about 86bhp/ton lol.

[General Baxter]

i know my patrol is 3.36tons with 1/4 tank and me in it,
the engine is 204bhp so about 180 now, work that out lol

[Jack]

Question really is, how much gay per mile does your car emit? I think my nova wins there.

[craig green]

[General Baxter]

Invalid Entry : Weight must be between 350 and 3000 KG
