General stilos on dyno..

[Ben R]

Yeah alright if you've got a spare 60-70,000 pounds. If I had that sort of cash I'd rather have a quattroporte as well (actually no I wouldn't I'd buy an Audi quattro RS6 or HSV GTS-R)

take a look in autotrader, you'd be suprised.

ecu remap has never been tested for such a mode...

a parallel ecu that haw been programmed from a laptop on the highway works 4 me just fine.....the best is if u can programme the parallel ecu on a dyno...

i asume there are a lot of programmers on the island who will do the work just fine..if u get to that point and still have problem i can post u one..

All right! I always knew (well, after getting to grips with losing to a Fiat Uno Turbo) my 1.8 had more power. Pulling away from an Accord 2.2 C-TDi, a VW 2.0 TDI and even a 3 door Multijet can´t have been achieved by a mere 133 HP. Kind of makes me wish never sold it . On the other hand, the Multijet isn´t a bad choice either .

referring to the guys saying the abarth stilo is a sub 8 secs car 0-60.

official figures from fiat dealer
170 bhp
221 nm
1265 kg
0-62 = 8.5 (2 occupants + 20kg)

so...1265 - 20kg - 50kg (1 fit occupant) = 1195 kg(without knowing the weight fiat thinks that 1 occupant (the driver) is)

according to http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 170
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1195
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 144.54
0 - 60 (Secs) : 7.40
0 - 100 (Secs) : 20.06
60 - 100 (Secs) : 12.66
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.83
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 88.83
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.63
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 90.36

I'm not sure the weight if the car is with people in it.
I found the danish rules (which i suppose is pretty close to the eu ones) regarding weight, and it states that the weight of the car (in this example 1265kg for the abarth) is without any people in it and empty of fluids - so called dry weight.

That means you have to add the weight of fluids and people.
So the weight will more likely be around 1265kg + 20kg + 2 people (2x70kg) 140kg= 1425kg

If you type this in the calculator:
Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 170
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1425
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 121.21
0 - 60 (Secs) : 8.63
0 - 100 (Secs) : 24.72
60 - 100 (Secs) : 16.09
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 17.06
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 83.06
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.86
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 84.45

Which is perhaps more in line with the official numbers from Fiat.

Of course i could be wrong.

And the calculator doesn't take tourque, gear ratio, aerodynamics etc. in to account. But it's a fun toy anyway.

just to mention that the values that came out out 4 the abarth were 167bhp and 205nm...

the 1.6lt weighs 1260kg with very few gas and without people instead of 1150 that fiat pronounces and includes half full reservoir and no passengers ....weighed it recently...

(take into account + 20kgr of turbine, i/c, oil freeg)
