surely not 109-115bhp at wheels

I must have gone toatlly wrong with my setup

I never knew lightening the flywheel could liberate so much power lol!

I think he had the dyno tuned at the same time :) ha ha

That mini is determined to Kill me!!!!

Not a chance.

Would need 135-140bhp at the flywheel.

It wont happen with that cam not a chance in hell.

I recon that power figure was taken from an analogue dyno, and in this day and age, the only thing an analogue dyno is good for is tuning a carb. Probibly why he has lost the print out, lol, there wasnt one to start with.

I wouldnt bee too sceptical, my old 296 showed 134 on Swiftunes dyno which was fairly accurate. We know theres always variances between dynos/ rr's

I seriously doubt it!

stop been so nice carl.......lol

TBH I really don’t think so As I said last years racer was running 130 at the FW and a touch over the ton at the wheels on 310 cam off set valve head race fuel 13:1 compression slipper pistons ect ect ect just ant going to happen on that spec unless the cylinder head was crafted by some space alien remember the motto man Banannnnnnnnas because that’s all these figures are how it goes on the real road is what matters.

edit: One to many bears me thinks

It dont matter so much how big valves are or if theyre offset, It depends on port shape therefore on who ported it.
I know of a 38 x 31 offset with 6mm stems, massive ports etc etc that my 37 x 30 blew away on the flow bench by quite a margin.

That it Paul, no good having massive valves if the rest of it can't supply air to suit the size.

Sorry Paul I was just trying to stay on topic rather than going into a huge post explaining every detail of the engine, which made it produce the power figures. I was relying on the fact that people on here might have to foresight to see that if I had spent the time to off set the valves, then I would have most likely spent time getting the port shape right.

In case you are interested the head was off set to the exhaust side .030" this was done on an old slab type small valve 12G940 head I used REC 36.6 inlets and REC 31.5 exhaust which as you might be aware, it was not strictly necessary to off set the valves for this combination, I done it to get the port shape right this head had a very large number of hours spent on port work. An I was very happy with its on track performance as It manage to run a time of 1:04:52 when every 1380 in it class was running a fastest time of 1:05:40 that day,
best regards,
Paul.

I seriously doubt it!

No hasstle Paul Didnt get up set, Probly sounded a little pissy no intended at all, Just spend like your self 100 of hours trying to get the motors to make these kind of figures and it piss me off when people just advertise figures like you can get 100 hp at the wheels by bolting a few bits together.
Alls good Piece out.

EDIT becaus out is not spelled O.U.R :$

Edited by PaulH on 30th Jan, 2009.

Hell no way, 100 bhp @ wheels on an n/a is not bad going, my 1380 only had 90-95 at wheels, it was quite driveable mind.

I couldn't agree more, I find it on this forum so many times, I actually feel sorry for the people who buy it to find it is a load of b*****k and there is no come back
