c20xe bhp?

[dan16v]

hi lads finaly got my 16v sorted just wondered if you have any idea what bhp it will run at the fly when its fully run in?
its the red top version fully rebuilt eg rings big ends etc it has piper re profiled cam kit and verniers, polished and ported head, dellorto 45dhla carbs sbd lightened and balanced fly wheel. im hoping for bout 180? is that bout right?

[Ben (lurk75)]

All depends how well the jobs have been done, only costs about ?15 for a rolling road so stick it on and find out!

[Dicko]

?15? hhm, maybe if you went as a club for a simple power shootout then maybe ?15, but if u go alone prices start from around ?50 upto ?150ish to set up carbs etc, and u get your bhp printout.

170-180 sounds about right

I got a garage about 3 miles away from me and after ive stuck something new on the car i take it up to them and they stick it on the rollers and give me a printout for ?15

He did say he only wants to know the BHP and that the engine is setup

[Ste_Nova]

round here a "power run" is ?10
and 2 hours of tuning is ?35

[Dicko]

around here tuning is ?50 for 1st hour, ?30 per hour after that

[cornish]

I'd say a bit more than 180bhp mate, the Astra GTE's that Vauxhall raced in the late 80's/early 90's in the BTCC were red top 2L 16V's with a set of Weber 45's only and they were producing about 175bhp.
