If the acceleration is twice as fast 0-60 will now be about 4seconds i believe! WOW!

There you have it then. Wicked Neo can call off his tests, its all here in black and white...double the performance.

to achieve twice the accel and assuming the grip etc is equal you need at least 4 times the power

4x times the power! It's a good chip then, right enough!

it might be the chip that helped the car being written off Laughing

Probably so, must be hard to control that much extra power...

donst that wrighting look on that chip look a lot like the one neo has..

yep its the same chip but not from Mick, that was one Mick sold but its now being resold by the buyer.

this auction is for the whole ECU and not just the chip and i would say the description is exagerated lol, Mick does not claim his chips will give over 160bhp, in fact Mick makes no claims as to what power increase they give at all hence why myself, Chris H, Leigh etc are performing tests on them.

I thought the theory was twice the top speed needs twice the power

nope because E=Â½MVÂ²

I'm confused..............and drunk. That exaplaints it.

yes thats what I said Chet, twice the speed needs 4 times the power.

no no u said to double the acc. ie half the 0-60 time...

Forum Moderator Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 19978

yes that requires 4 times the power

to double the accel you need 4 times the power.

to double the top speed you aLSO NEed 4 times the power.

Of course this is assuming everything stays relative, i.e. you don't half the drag coefficient.

wish i could remember all those bloody formulas about kinetic energy ,getting old now god damm it Twisted Evil

Right, didn't know acceleration was the same theory
