      Had some good 2ltr pinto's but only ever see 180 ish,
      That's sounds about right then as 234bhp divided by 2.6 litres is 90bhp per litre . Then 180bhp divided by 2 litres is also 90bhp a litre . So as we can see it's hard to get more than 90bhp a litre from an 8v N/A engine on pump fuel on a decent machine . This will i'm sure be backed up by the results on the day .
      Nothing we can do about ambient temperature increases unfortunately unless the dyno is in a chilled room (we hope) .

          Yes that's exactly right , bit like a Honda V-tec as well . All peak numbers and no real bollox !!!!!

                Why does everyone think mine is going to blow up pmsl.

                Put it this way, best not do.
                I think mine will achieve a healthy 61bhp like it did about 5 years ago on the rollers my target will be to overtake a matiz on full chat.

                Spec of engine, standard 1.6
