Hi guys Had my VELOCITY weighed today and it was 670kg with all fluids full, Is this a good weight ???????? Also is there any mathmatician's out there to work out my BHP per Ton I have got 209BHP @ flywheel.
Regards Bill.

It'd be heavy for a BEC but seeing as it ain't....

311 BTW

Rough maths tells me 278 hp/ton

How have you got that power from an xe? ie what mods

Tommy

and yes 311.940298

Well.... I got 283

Looks like not many of us would make good mathematicians.

Hang on, a tonne is 907kg

its 209 / (670/907)

which is 283Bhp/tonne so it looks like my maths if rougher

Weight is 6700N btw

*Goes away and locks himself in his room to do more Physics revision in preparation for his exam*

1 tonne = 1000kg

1 ton = 907kg

Lots of calculators available on-line just google bhp/ton and take your pick.
BTW my F27 with the Volumex engine weighed in at 650kgs but that's with al. head, gearbox etc.

having just finished welding my chassis ..... until i find something else to weld onto I can tell you a ron champion chassis, converted to de-dion weights an absolute blooming ton / tonne when you keep manually turning it over onto its sides.

A ton (in real English units) is 2240lbs or 1016Kg so the BHP/ton = 316.9

Hi Bill, 670kgs? that's a bit lardy, did you take the beer out of the boot box? Mel
