110 BHP - What it does to accleration


Recommended Posts

Posted

As many people seek more power there is the accompanying question of what difference will it make to accleration?  A small sample answer is below.  You may need to zoom in as the file is rather small.

 

The blue trace is what the red trace would describe as feeble powered having consistent lag due to harnessing only one atmosphere.  The red trace cheats using a device to increase air density and so harneses more atmospheres. 

 

The additional atmospheres gives a 110+BHP power advantage and lots more torque.  Very similar spec overall other than the red trace has a windscreen as there is power to spare.

I don't think you're reading enough into that. Ignore the two left bumps because I was stuck behind another car for a couple of corners... but every time I'm able to open it up on a straight, I'm slower through the next corner. For the more flowing sections which don't need a dose of speed, it's largely similar.

 

Power corrupts! I clearly need to give my engine to someone with a bigger set...

or go back to wastegate pressure or go back to N/A or leave the westy at home and go around in your rx8 or your mini
