Whats your power to weight ratio's and bhp per litre......

idea stolen from somewhere else but it makes more relevance here
my e30 v8 is 340bhp and 1240kg's so that makes mine

1. Rileys E30 V8 271.1hp/tonne and 85bhp/litre 1240kgs
2. Stu Mc 318/6 238hp/tonne and 95bhp/litre 1190kgs
3. e30Matt 325 eta 101hp/tonne and 47bhp/litre 1256kgs
4. aaron.j Turbo m20 410hp/tonne and 176bhp/litre 1072kgs

[Stu]

2620 pounds/284hp: ~9.22 pound/hp

284hp, 3.0L: ~94.67hp/Ltr

[e30Matt]

Given it's a stock Super E right now, specs are:

2765lb/128bhp = 92.59bhp/ton = 21.6lbs/hp

128bhp/2.7L = 47.5bhp/L

And this is all assuming it's not down on power... WHICH it is.

Given that mine currently only has a broken bottom end sitting under its hood, I'd venture to guess 0bhp/litre.

[Stu]

2765lb/128bhp = 92.59bhp/ton = 21.6lbs/hp

You were driving the 325 tonight....new driveshaft parts in?

[e30Matt]

Haha, no, just living with the bad CSB for now. Going to hold off and replace it all when the M50 goes in, since none of the parts will cross over to the new drivetrain.

Lets see here

168hp/2.5L = 67.2hp/L
and according to my last dyno run,
180hp/2.5L = 72hp/L

[GarrettM]

How bout "not enough"?

[aaron.j]

2359 lbs/440hp 5.45lb/hp
2.5l turbo m20 176 hp/l

[backtrail69]

With my old engine my car had aprox 8.8ish lb/bhp and 126ish bhp/liter. Never had it on an engine dyno though.. New motor those numbers should be going down/up abunch.

[aaron.j]

drifty340i what is done to your 1uzfe? Most dynos I see for those engines make 280bhp unless they have cams headwork etc.

[e30Matt]

Haha... the toy I'm picking up this spring:

342lb/118bhp = 2.9lb/bhp = 690.1bhp/ton

118bhp/0.6L = 197bhp/L

[e30Matt]

For contrast, the McLaren F1:

2840lbs/627bhp = 4.53lb/hp = 441.5bhp/ton

627bhp/6.06L = 103.5bhp/L

[nando]

stock:
3050lbs / 168bph = 18.1 lbs/hp or 128.1 hp/ton
168bhp / 2.5l = 67.2 hp/l

now:
~2900lbs / 210bhp = 12.8 lbs/hp or 152.25 hp/ton
210bhp / 2.8l = 75 hp/l

I think Stu's car is a bit faster than mine :p

[Ray Smoodiver]

Haha... the toy I'm picking up this spring:

342lb/118bhp = 2.9lb/bhp = 690.1bhp/ton

118bhp/0.6L = 197bhp/L

Ultima or an Ariel.
