Great results there Dave. Bet you're well chuffed.

I certainly am

Am on the look out now for a Deawoo Matiz to play with

[Frosticles]

Meeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooow.

[paul mann]

that engine sounds like it has too much power for you dave,i think it needs to go in my mk1,will swap me crossflow & a bit of cash

Paul I know that you are a VW expert but how many more times ?

The engine in your car is "based" on a crossflow but that twin cam head is not standard on a Mexico

[lee bishop]

what does that work out @ flywheel

hey come on, answer my Q

i have difficulty relating to 'wheel' figures

[RS1800]

nice one dave, knew it was around that mark from the conversation, but its nice to have it in b&w, great result...wheres me hat for croft

put the 45s on the pop
you be up to those figures

[Skids]

Aa a "rule of thumb" I was always told you lost about 25% through the drive gear but 240 bhp from a pinto is a little optomistic though.
Come on someone must have the correct formula.Hope is right though Dave as mine is a similar spec to yours

[RS2000CUSTOM]

hey come on, answer my Q

I dont know the answer ! - lol

Flywheel BHP is only ever a guesstimate against "at wheel BHP" when done on rolling road as it is based on the speed of deceleration of the rollers

A certain percentage is "allowed" for gearbox and diff but a true flywheel figure is only achieved on a Dyno

I "guess" maybe 205-210 flywheel (maybe)

I now want to go on rolling road shoot outs for a "guidance only" comparison

All I can say is that at 11:30 this morning rollers showed 184

Tomorrow it could show 189 or only 170 and so on

Of course on a private dual carriageway oois also a great proving ground as well - lol lol lol

[marky4]

nice one that's good figures

[grum]

sounds ok mate , but you could eek out a few more with a 2.5" exhaust under the axle

Was thinking a 100BHP shot NOS just a snort every now and again wont do any harm

[grum]

right'o

right'o

I only want NOS to have the purge jets shooting up like on Jap Rice boilers
