Got my baby beast booked in for Monday. See how she goes, i'm hoping to break 100bhp by a bit.

Not bad for a 1.3.

I'll update you Monday afternoon.

how much has it cost you to get your engine to that spec mate?

how do you find the petrol on it now you have the twin carbs on there?

well its back with 102bhp@6500 rpm at fly and 76bhp@6.5k wheels.

Not too bad for a 1.3. The chap said that if i get a fuel pressure regulator and some better grommets and rings between carbs and manifold (rather than spring washers) then i could see around 110.

6-8psi fuel pressure and it needs to be around 2-3psi.

glad i broke the 100 barrier :lol: .

what was the torque figure? did that break the 100 mark?
Snowface
28-09-04, 05:06 PM
didn't get one but if i use the following formula

P = k x T x N (thousands of rpm)

P = Power in BHp
k= 0.193
T = Torque in LbFt
N = engine speed

i get 81.3lbFt @ 6500.

don't know if thats right or not.

got that formula of a website.


Example: My 1.3 generated 79 Lb Ft at 6000 rpm. In BHP that's 0.193 x 79 x 6 = 91.4 BHP which is right. If you've any dyno curves check this out. 0.193 x torque(in Lb Ft) x speed gives power at that point in BHP.[/url]

glad you added that, i thought you hadmade it up :D

i probably get more torque than that at about 4-5k but i have no power figures for those engine speeds.
