Basic Weight Reductions
Removing weight on your Import or Domestic car is a great way to dramatically increase your performance. With every bit of weight removed your car will have a better horsepower/weight ratio and will not only accelerate faster but also corner and handle better while getting better gas mileage. Considering gas weighs about 8lbs/gal so 16 gallons in the tank weighs 128lbs. If you have only 1 gallon in the tank, its almost a 7 horsepower equivalent difference on most vehicles. A passenger can make even a bigger difference, not to mention the drivers weight. You can easily remove things like the spare tire and jack, the floor mats, the rear seats, interior panels and anything else.
Listed below you will find an easy way to calculate your car's horsepower to weight ratio. Simply follow the steps listed below to find out how much of an increase in power you can expect.
| Step 1: Determine Vehicles Weight - Example, Stock 2005 Dodge SRT-4 2900lbs Step 2: Determine Vehicles Horsepower - Example, Stock 2005 Dodge SRT-4 230HP Step 3: Determine Vehicles Torque - Example, Stock 2005 Dodge SRT-4 250ft/lb Step 4: Divide the weight of your car by the horsepower - 2900/230 = 12.60 Step 5: Divide the weight of your car by the torque - 2900/250 = 11.60 |
As you can see with our example car above, the horsepower to weight ratio is 12.60, so for every 12.60 pounds of weight removed from the car we should gain about 1hp. Likewise, with torque for every 11.60 pounds of weight removed we should have an increase of about 1 torque.
Finding things that can be removed from your car to decrease its overall weight can be tricky at times. Below you will find some of the more common items that can be easily removed and replaced if needed. It is also a great idea to put on a good set of lightweight wheels if you have the chance.
Listed below are some easily removable items:
1. Passenger Seat (37lbs) - Removing the passenger seat is a very easy and effective way to give your car a small boost in power. The nice thing is that the seat is only held in place by 4 bolts.
2. Rear Seat (29lbs) - The rear seat is a little more complicated to remove than the passenger seat. When removing just remember where everything goes and it should be easy to put back in place whenever needed.
3. Rear Seat Cushion (10lbs) - The rear cushion should be removed at the same time as the rear seat.
4. Floor Mats/Front and Rear (6lbs) - This has to be the easiest weight reductions available for any vehicle!
5. Tire Floor Cover (3lbs) - The tire floor cover is right over your spare tire.
6. Spare Tire and Jack (32lbs) - Another easily removable item on most vehicles.
Total Easy Weight Removal= 117lbs or about a 9.3hp increase.
Intermediate Skill Weight Reductions
The weight reductions included below can even prove more effective than some of the reductions included above. However, once you start removing these items you are taking away from the cars overall appearance and in some cases its more predominent ammenities.
7. Air Conditioning (40lbs) - Removing the air conditioning will net you a reduction of about 40lbs. Be sure to remove everything from the engine as well as behind the dash. Should be completed by the experienced only.
8. Front Hood (50lbs) - Replacing the Front Hood with a lightweight fiberglass or carbon fiber hood is a great way to remove some weight around the front end of the car. Total weight reduction will be close to 50lbs or greater depending on the aftermarket hood you choose...
9. Stock Wheels - Most stock vehicle wheels are much heavier than thier aftermarket counterparts. If you want to really increase your acceleration they we recommend switching to lightweight performance wheels.
10. Front Drivers Seat - The front drivers seats can be replaced by lightweight aftermarket alternatives. Some vehicles, especially those with power seats will experience a dramatic decrease in weight.
Total Intermediate Weight Removal= up to 188lbs or a 15hp increase.
More Weight Reductions
Some of the things listed below can also be removed or replaced with lighter alternatives than stock.
Stock Flywheel- Can be replaced with lightweight aluminum flywheels or machined down in excess of just 13lbs.
Stock Steering Wheel - Can be replaced with lighter performance steering wheel with no airbag.
Passenger Airbag Removal - Can save some extra weight as well. (Not recommended for normal driving)
Interior Panels - Both the drivers side and passenger side front door panels as well as the rear panels can be removed to save in excess of over 40lbs on most cars.
Stock Speakers - With a normal weight of over 2 pounds a piece these can also be easily removed. Vehicles with power antenna's can also decrease weight by removing this heavy item. Rear Hatch Cover - This can simply be removed whenever needed.
Stock Exhaust - Stock vehicle exhausts can weigh considerably more than some lightweight aluminum aftermarket alternatives.
Wiper Motors - Although they are generally needed under almost all driving conditions they CAN be removed if need be although we do not personally recommend it.
Carpet - Removing the carpet as well as the carpet lining underneath will reduce the cars overall weight by close to 40lbs. Removing excess wiring and bolts and brackets will also net you a reduction of close to 10lbs.
