Power to wieght

[ric_b3]

Am i right in this that power to wieght ratio is worked out by dividing power over wieght? If so would this be right in saying:

1.1=60bhp standerd and wieghs 805kg =75.4bhp per tonne

Is this right???

Close, 75.73bhp/tonne according to:

do 1000, divided by weight times'd by power.

for example (my target)

1000 / 820 * 240 = 292 bhp per ton

So about 74-5 bhp per tonne then now just need a dyno reading and to go on a wiegh bridge

[-shuggles-]

would you not be better spending the money on upgrades first rather than rolling roads ect?

Not read my progress thead then?

Seems good finding out your power and weight to find out power to weight ratio.
It's always what I've wanted to do.
I really wouldn't waste your time tuning a 1.1 if you decide to though. Any gains are going to be fractional for the cost.

Yes but all the parts i have ( other than the suspention) will also fit a vtr wich i will look to get when i have some money

As long as you don't go putting 1.1 kent cams into your new vtr ;)

Not worth the money lol
