190/900(estimate)x1000 =211BHP/tonne

Ands its 1000kg civics even stripped arnt lighter than saxos btw ;)

323 with a few tweeks* rolls at 200 but needs a remap where its sucking in a shed load more air than its ment to lol. with a live map it would probly make 210.

Im currently building a new engine which will be in m3 hp but have more torque.

What is the weight of a standard VTR / S?

And is there a BHP / tonne calculator?
Jazz
2nd May 2009, 11:11
160.15 bhp/ton
dinga
2nd May 2009, 11:12
920kg vtr. 935kg vts.according to handbook.
calculation is power divided by 1000 multiplied by true weight = bhp/tonne.
pretty simples.

Nope. Its power (bhp) divided by weight (kg) then multiplied by 1000.

Lol what about at the wheels?


Try this site peeps: http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 90

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 112.89
0 - 60 (Secs) : 9.27
0 - 100 (Secs) : 29.21

Was : 200bhp/tonne
Will be (at very least i hope) : 300bhp/tonne


Was 141@wheels, so say 170@fly. Guess 850kg (completely stripped+cage)
Will be hopefully 220@wheels, 250/260@fly. Hopefully nearer 800kg.

Fair enough not a k&n typhoon then, they apprently rank highly on the atr forums. There quite light to when you compared it to my 1350kg e36.

Just a shame the atr dosent handle as well as its smaller brother the dc2.

It is a K&N Typhoon kit, yeah suits the ATR quite well. Doesn't weigh that much because although its big, Honda removed most of the equipment of the normal Accords, removed the sound proofing and stiffened the chassis a lot.
