expected power
Turbo Mini Forums

i am currently running the following med engine

1293cc
MED profile T3 ground by Piper cam
ARP 11 stud head kit
F.I.S. head
1.5 roller tip rockers
x pin dif

with a T2 turbo running 12psi of boost and a rs Turbo intercooler
i am also using a turbo dizzy and normal turbo hif44 carb

what power would you expect at the wheels?
i currently have 106bhp is this about right

Sounds low for 12psi?

Chris.

1310cc TWINK - T Conversion

106 at the wheels seems ok. 12psi should easily net over 140bhp at the fly with the right head, cam aind IC.

Which rolling road?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

ATSPEED near southend the guys in there are realy friendly and helpfull

only reason i asking is to see if im about right or something is out and i should have more.

You should have more than that. We've seen 150hp at the flywheel from 10psi.

Looking at the pictures in your other thread, the problem is most likely your intercooler location.

It is just not getting any air flow to do it's job properly.

right so is it a case of getting it down the front or do you recon it would be ok with getting some cowling on it to duct the air up to it as im trying to keep everything contained in the engine bay hidden



also what power would 150 at the fly be at the wheels

You should be able to get intake temps down to around 20 degrees C this time of year.

However, you are probably getting more than 50 degrees C.

The difference in air density from 50 to 20 degrees is about 10 percent, which equates to 10 percent power.

You can run more advance with a better placement of the intercooler, but it is the improved density of the incoming charge that will up the power.

Typical gearbox losses are 20-25hp apparently.

is the gear box straight cut or Helical

my guess that the head is standard

the head is as flollows quoted from the med website

personaly i would nt put any more power through the standard box,

but at 12 psi i would be expecting around the 140 bhp fiq so around 115 ish at the wheels so you are about 10 hp down which could be down to the IC.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

i personnally think that the figure means fuck all, no rolling roads are the same, if your happy with how it drives and your confident that its been set up "safe" that is whats important imo.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
