Sigma Engineering K headed hillclimber
Turbo Mini Forums

Supposedly 210 horses.

Anyone know about it, cant find anything on web

paul

I seriously doubt it!

where you gwt his info,

i suppose it could make that kind of neddies, if it turns to 12000 rpm,

WWW.FORCE-RACING.CO.UK PLEASE CLICK HERE

A mate told me about it this evening. That figure is from their own RR or dyno, dont know how accurate it is though.
Pretty incredible claim for an N/A motor

Could well be Carl, apparently it was winning its class by a long way but got told to slow down by the high ups so the Jaguars could win. Turbocox on here will be able to tell more about it, he is the one that told me

I seriously doubt it!

really is alot of horses, sure there not pub horses? would be interesting to find out exactly how many

it might well be.

if they can get it to flow more then the kad head.

but that is quite a claim being n/a

another one to add to the, must invite to the "turbo minis dyno shootout" lol.

Ill be with you lot within the year.

A reasonable target of 150bhp :)

Never heard of it myself. Most of the K headed minis hillclimbing claim around 170.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

The top kad n/a hill climber has a power output of 196 ponies however im yet to see a dyno graph.

I cant imageine the k head will flow more then the kad head. as the kad head was designed for one thing in mind, performance however then the k head was designed it only makes sence for them to being logical in design and keep costs down.

I have got some of my info muddled apparently, it gave 205 horses

I seriously doubt it!

Before I start, I'm new hear and just dropped this into a coversation with Paul yesterday (and I know nothing about K twin cam heads Except I want one:))

This little yarn was told to me yesterday, at work. The teller of this story is known to Ben h. His name is John weedon, a hillclimber,(he said he knows you Ben h?)

The story goes like this, (and doesn't contain any references to slowing down for JAG's??????

This John said a hillclimber he races with saw a twincam 'k' headed 1400cc A series mini on the rollers at Sigma-engineering in "DORSET"
Owned and run by PETER LANDER (former business partner to NEVILLE TRICKETT)
This car is campaigned in hillclimb and the car is refered to as Brigtheyes 3
It made 205 at the fly and has some sort of trick inlet variable trumpets??

I'm not sprouting bullshit just repeating a tale

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success

Perhaps I can shed a little light on this. Sigma Engineering are based in Gillingham, Dorset. Brighteyes are Minis raced by Derek Mullis of Yeovil, Somerset. Brighteyes 3 is just the latest version. I haven't seen the car in the "flesh" yet but I have been told by sources close to Derek that the above figures have been achieved.

I had better turn the boost up on the TT2 then.

With all due respect to those guys, they have created a very powerful motor.

But the science does not stack up.

You can only get that many ponies out of 1400cc if it runs at 12,000 rpm plus.

Unless they are running NOS or rocket fuel.

Hence 205 bananas would be more appropriate.

Is this another baldwin calibrated dyno?

I will cough, and reserve judgement until then. I didn't think the bore/stroke ratio of a large-bore A-series would even allow close to 12000 rpm, and if you aren't running a 'power adder' then bangs-per-minute is the only way to see those kinds of numbers.

whats wrong with baldwins RR?

Its great for getting the car setup, as Peter really knows his stuff. However it is well known that the figures it gives can be somewhat on the optimistic side and are for pub use only.

tends to read a bit on the high side,

good RR guy though.
