thought it might be fun to see what the ideas are on this ,looking at it crudely i think its going to be around 140 bhp n/a ,so at 30psi ,id say at 80% to 120 % increase per bar (15psi) its in the range of 364 to 476 , so im guessing 410 bhp .*surprised*

just for fun !!!
please add comments if you want !*smiley**wink*

The whisperers on Sunday were quoting 9000 rpm and 30 psi, so I reckon on 340hp.

Theorectically, of course.

Hi,
I too heard 30psi, and there's mention on here of 9.5K, so I've gone for 360 *wink*

I voted on the safe side, lol, 300, as we know what happened the last time some one mentioned 300bhp and clutches *oh well*

I recon Robert knows more than he is letting on *wink*

An who voted 420, lol, on what gearbox *laughing*

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

420hp????

I know there were very few groupA cosworths that actually made a real 500hp - so how can this do 420? Or are we breathing the same magical stuff the engine will be??? LOL

oooh - interesting topic, hopefully it'll do as its meant to. It has been designed with a specific number in mind - I'm not voting yet lol. One things for sure torque management will be crucial for this drag racing application. I fully expect to torque limit the car in the first 2.5 gears only allowing full bifftas in mid third and 4th - to maximise traction and stop me crapping myself!

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

tis clearly a T28, question is, how big *tongue*

my guess is based on the engine makign jsut over 200ft'lb of torque, and making that figure very close to the red line. dont think 200ft'lb is that out of the question for a 1.3 litre engine runnign 2 bar of boost!

personally I think it'll make peak torque high mid range rather than at the top end - we'll see!

Hi,
It's a GT28RS "Disco Potato?"

Im recon John is going for the next mile stone of 300 nanas, but I think he'll be 10 nanas short due to the colour of the block!

So im voting 290! *tongue*

Well, It says SC special turbo somewhere else - and the 28RS is acatalogue item...

That said - I can't see how unless someone has f***ed about with the compressor housing that a GT28RS would work as it just doesn't appear well suited to a 1293 as far as i can make out. Of course - that ias just what i think... LOL

Well i am going to put my guess in having followed the project since its early steps. I am going for 315 bananas and 212 curly whirlys. Its all mightily impressive and whatever it pushes its the engineering boundaries of the a series.

Well we all know what clutch John's using, well I do

As for power I reckon 280 or 310 on Baldwin's rollers
