You will not regret it bro........the car is amazing, brakes, handling, acceleration, top speed in excess of 200kmph, looks, safety..........you really cant ask for anything more except ofcourse a spare tire !! Laughing

I'm surprised no one has tried fitting one in the boot area as yet (well on the forums anyways)

"well 100 whp u cant go wrong"

thought there 125 hp?[/quote]

Yes the engine makes 125 bhp....or "crank" hp. But there are losses when going to through the transmission / axles etc etc.

So at the wheels (or on a dyno), they put out about 100 whp.

Similarly, a 300 hp BMW 135i might put out only about 270 or so at the wheels (or 270 whp).

^^ correct, surprisingly enough tho knight1 the ignis sport showed much less losses through the drivetrain than the swift sports.....my car is rated at 107bhp and it put out 97whp.....compared to the swift sports that put out 103whp on the same dyno.

Knight1 · Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2009 7:46 pm Post subject:

^^Were those cars auto or manual? Auto = more drivetrain loss to start with.

Well, from what I've read on the UK forums and the Swiftclubsg forums, the M15A in the HT81S pulls some timing on <98 RON octane...but not that much, so you guys still make close to the OEM spec-ed hp.

The M16A apparently pulls a little more timing supposedly as the engine / ECU is bit more sensitive to knock (not sure why....maybe the HT81 has a lower compression ratio???? Not sure), so the M16A's net bhp on 95RON may well be only 110-115...but definitely less than the 125 to start with....hence implying the lower than expected whp values.

HT81S is rated at 115bhp while the cars that we all have here are HV81S.....which is slightly de-tuned to 107bhp. Ignorant......i never said we had Ht81S......
All the swift sports were manual and everyone was on 95octane. And the compression ratios are the same for HV81S, HT81S and the swift sports.....

^^Well then all that means is that the original theory on the SG forums is probably correct:

jm3 I'm sure you're out enjoying the new car, let us know how its going.

^^^that's correct Ignorant.

And I say we try to organise another dyno day before years-end. This time, men should run NOS Racing Formula Octane booster!

...I'm chipped now (moar fuelz and RPM's!!!!!), it's a definately pulling harder, so let's see what the N/A G13B does to Garth's rollers! Twisted Evil
