Hello all.
I am now enrolled at VRI at WWU!
I am working on a sort of independent study project. I am making a V12 out of a pair of motorcycle engines to go into a VW based kit car.
I have run the IHP formula and come out with 250hp, and 220 lb/ft of torque.
The car weighs 1800 pounds.
Ok now, onto the next. I am targeting as close to Lamborghini acceleration as I can.
What I am looking for is a way to compare the weight, power, and gearing (including final drive ratio) of one vehicle to set the gearing of the other.
I know adjustments will have to be made for the torque/hp curve peaks. but trying to get a good close ball park and start from there.
The transmission will be modular and a sequentially shifted unit.
Any one point me to the proper calculations, or formulas?
Thanks in advance!
