Title: Power level - your opinion
Post by: Robin on April 21, 2009, 10:06:40 PM
Out of interest what kinda power stages do you think the G can be rated at for example my opinion is:

G-Lader
113bhp to 125bhp - Stage 1
126bhp to 150bhp - Stage 2
151bhp to 180bhp - Stage 3
180bhp+ - Stage 4

Eaton
140bhp to 150bhp - Stage 1
151bhp to 170bhp - Stage 2
171bhp to 190bhp - Stage 3
191bhp+ - Stage 4

Turbo
140bhp to 150bhp - Stage 1
151bhp to 170bhp - Stage 2
171bhp to 210bhp - Stage 3
211bhp+ - Stage 4

I recon that your g-lader and turbo are fairly on the mark if i think back over posted up specs and 'claimed' power outputs of various G's.

I recon the eaton specs 3 and 4 could possibly be a little higher in 'real life' if claims are true about 220-230 bhp.

Then again i suppose all of these figures depend on the efficiency of the set-up in each individual car.

Hard to put actual figures on these and i guess different people will have different ideas of specs and stages against power outputs!

I think it will be interesting to see what others opinions are on this topic... Good one!!

Is this so that you know to ask the spotty moron on the Ripspeed counter in Halfords for a Stage 4 G40 kit Robin?

All sounds like bullshit, stuff, and nonsense. Why all the categories? How does this help?

It doesn't help, its just a disscussion, if its bull shit then don't read it.
