Power to weight ratio of your car?

on the E92 BMW have quoted the weights with a 75kg load, tank 90% full and without any optional extras.

So in other words, the car, when you're sitting in it, will weigh what round about what BMW quote.

That makes your Monaro VXR the heavy car then? Especially considering his is carrying a nicely finished interior and an electrically operated folding metal hard-top roof! Whats your cars excuse?

Yes, but for BHP/tonne stats, most manufacturers are without that load, so its apples to oranges.

EU DIN standards dictate the load of the car when weight is measured. The manufacturers do not randomly decide to stick a load of weight in for the lulz. Therefore most manufacturers are with the same load.

What do they remap to?

Well I've seen mixed results and most the remapped A1s on the forums are TDIs with Tuning boxes etc but I was sent this link:

http://www.more-bhp.com/a2/audi-a1-14-tfsi-122-tuner-protected-remap.html

According to that company you pay £300 for a ecu remap and get:
BHP Before: 122
BHP After: 155
NM Torque Before: 200
NM Torque After: 270

Audi TTRS 2.5 litre 5 cylinder turbo (with stage 1 remap from MRC tuning)

The exact same car/spec as this one in the video:

How do you add 0.1 litre to the R34 engine? ;)

:p
 
Yeap a RB26DETT which was a much better engine than the RB25 - A single never ending surge of power from 3000 upto 8500rpm from two turbos rather than 1 big one which gave nothing til 4000rpm then BANG til 6500rpm and a tail off til 7500rpm but that was down to my poor Turbo choice.
