Right then, dyno time has been done again, the result? 250.6 hp at the wheels. Hope this settles the minor fucking uproar thats been going on over this vid....lol...
@zx6rrob 260 horsepower in a mini? You need to to take out a life insurance policy an your brother IMMEDIATELY!!! Double indemnity, all the options! Do it now! You don't have much time!
not nessaceraly alot of cars useually loose power in hign revs say like a car redlined at 8k and the peak power was at 7k after the 7k u will loose power so thats why its best to change gear at ur peak power cos ur just slowing ur self down after that
While this is true, shifting to low can drop you out of your power band and into a lower HP area than shifting at redline, therefore making matters worse. If you peak hp is at 8k & 200hp but shifting then will make the next gear pick up a 4k-out of vtec-and only making 130hp, then it would be better to stay in the previous gear until the 9k redline & 170hp and shift into vtec and the start of your peak power band.
Not really, Because if you shift at a higher RPM, you won't drop to a lower RPM.
Usually you'll make more power AFTER Your peak, than you will before it.. Usually Power just flat lines or starts to drop slowly. Shift Just after peak power.
A couple of decades ago my bro had a clubman with a worked austin 1800 plus gearbox shoehorned in the front. Went like the clappers. He also had a 4.7L v8 powered anglia, scarest thing I've been in.
i know what ur saying mate , im pushing 120bhp out of my 1310 .. and to be hones im waiting for to go bang , as i drive like a total twat , in the right places of course but i redline every gear .. i shall post a vid of mine on here soon ... although maybe not everyones cup of tea i like it ...
I built a 1310 turbo mini using modified mg turbo,straight cut drop gears,omega pistons,howley head,and a load of goodies,128 bhp,good fun as it went mental over 3000rpm. my mum (a pensioner) borrowed it once and left 2 x 25 yd black lines on the road taking off a little quick at the lights (rofll)
Its not bhp, its rwhp. Bhp is measuring horsepower from the crankshaft on an engine brake. These dynos just give you rear wheel horsepower, none the less, must be a handful to drive, congrats.
in all fairness, there are turbo haybusa minis out there, and they are just as ridiculously rapid, check the zcars website vid on their top end zcar mini.
ahhh so awesome :D

These things are always hard to dyno. There aren't very good strapping points, and the car is way too light to provide any traction..

why is there a traction issue with 236hp? why not just dyno it again at a higher gear?
logic2reason 2 years ago
250 hp, 600 kgs weight, 13 inch wheels,no real easy way of strapping it down....you get the picture.
