Hey

Guys



We have finally got the New GLA 45 AMG

First here are a Few pics of the car......











 
I much prefer the look of these to the A45 except for that rear spoiler :doh:

It'll be interesting to see what sort of quarter mile times it'll do.
 
500bhp?
 
Spoiler looks like something from Terrahawks (Remember that) Looks $hite in pics 1 and 3 but good in pic 2 for some strange reason (IMO)
 
To be fair the car is great I love the looks also more aggressive then the A45 but this is only brought as a development car and not to keep long term.

Hi guys


Finally we have some results !!


Our GLA 45 AMG 2014 '64' Surprisingly made very good power stock, compared to other 45's we have had on our Dyno, Our car Made 334.31 WHP and 320.91 WTQ, We use a 18% loss on our dyno which equates to 395.48 BHP!! and 378.67 ft-lb Torque. and we do use 4th gear for dyno pulls.

Compared to Other cars which on average make around the 300 WHP mark Stock.

With no tune and Just the Weistec Downpipe our car has Made 341.15WHP and 330.12 WTQ which equates to 402.56BHP and 389.54 ft-lb Torque

If we had another Stock car running stock power of circa 300WHP im sure the downpipe would have made a bigger difference.

So now for the good bit, with our MSL Tune Box and Weistec Downpipe 365.63 WHP and 406.69 WTQ. which equates to 431.44 BHP and 479.89 ft-lb Torque

Here is a copy of the Dyno Graph, The overall figure is good, however if you study the graph and look at around 65 MPH there is a Gain of nearly 90 WHP!!




Also Just for Fun we done 3rd Gear Pull which made 373.39 WHP and 374.80WTQ , which equates to 440.60 BHP and 442.26 ft-lb Torque




The car makes alot more torque in 4th gear, But hit the magic number in 3rd just for pleasure.

The car is brutal, I am sure we could get a few more horses out of it yet, as the car has only now done 200 Miles on the clock, but we are impatient just as you guys Cool

Hopefully doing some more testing and tweaking in the coming week, the AFR drop to 12.1, and there is potential for a bit more horses, as ideal AFR is around 11.7.

The best bit of it all is NO ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT!!.. yet.. we will put more miles on it and see how we get on, we have done approx 20 miles so far, so some good weekend testing ahead of us
