[Breeny]

1.3 lump with 140hp at the fly (when he gets the exhaust and manifold replaced), revs to 10k apparently!

Can't wait to see the RR results :D

[Al Wilson]

[benji]

who's is it?

[J4MES]

sounds great if true :lol: , need more info cus im interested in building a fast road 1.3...

[benji]

is this the 'all steel' one. :roll:

[Stuart]

ive got an all polycarbonate engine that is well light and it revs to like 15K so it should do about 300bhp

[_JH_]

seriously now, there's a guy near me who has a 1300 vaux engine that revs to 10k, he bought it out of a motorsport mag of some kind, its an ex hillclimb engine (i think). cost mega money apparently, i'm guessing custom crank, rods, pistons, flywheel etc etc

don't it melt when it get's hot

[BigRuss]

Sorry, I've got to go with the majority of the other sane people.

Ultimate 1300 is 130bhp IMO

10k, no way :o

[_JH_]

sane people.

meaning?

i doubt this guys buying an all steel engine for ?900 too.

[BigRuss]

A friend of mine has arguably the fastest 1400 16v vauxhall engine in the country, it is 174bhp and the limiter is 9,000rpm.

My point is that it has a steel crank and titanium rods to enable it to safely rev to 9k. As far as I am aware there are no steel cranks or rods available for 1300 engines, therefore the absoloute highest revs achievable on a 1300 has to be 8,000 - 8250 revs. And then this would only be with cosworth pistons etc.... and built by a professional engine builder/tuner.

Some people may think they can get 10k from a 1300 but they cannot.

P.S.
I love your Ford ladies wobble, MMMMMMMMMM :D

[Barn]

Breeny...was there like a sentance missing from the beginning of your post or something as it seems a bit random !

my 1300 is gunna Rev to 15K rpm, lol

nah, dunno what its gunna rev to but it better be over 7K rpm

[Stuart]

im gunning for 9K on special occasions lol

but 8250 for "regular" driving

[Breeny]

Very random indeed.. there was a hint of sarcasm in there somewhere although most people couldn't tell by the looks of it..!

Yes this is the "all steel" one lol

[benji]

im gunning for 9K on special occasions lol

but 8250 for "regular" driving

is that true or are you still taking the piss?? can never tell with you

[Stuart]

id like to hit 9k even if its only once lol

[benji]

by the sound of it, it will be only once

[Philsutton]

i hit some where near 9000 im my 1.4sr engine, only did it once lol

[Will]

BANG :lol:

[Philsutton]

lots of damage, it broke things i didnt even think were breakable

[benji]

i'm gonna look in the ad-mag this weekend to see if there's any cheap sr's i can buy just to rev to 10k and see what happens

[burgo]

a mate of mine used to have a 1.4 escort which we had played with it went round to 8500 once went bang shortly after but was funny to see it do it sounded mad

[robb]

I have a 1.8 with a rattly bottom end if you wanna see some conrods and valves bend :lol:.

[jkhilton]

At some of the old VW meetings I used to goto(when I had my beetle) they used to have a beetle engine on a stand and then just rev it until it blew up, they could go for ages at full pelt! usually it wasn't very spectacular when they blew though, just a pop and lots of smoke! lol

[burgo]

lol sounds like a laugh tho
