That's an interesting read. 1991 was a long time ago, so was 110bhp being difficult to achieve...

I assume you mean 25" H2O ?

On the basis that air flow vs pressure loss works on a square law then multiply by ((25/10)^0.5)= 1.5811

Seems to give the right sort of numbers.

I have an original copy of this magazine. I was an avid reader of CCC for years, at one time it used to cover loads of great Minis. I guess that this was just before Mini World came on to the stands. It is a shame that the Original CCC has passed away...

Fab, I am struggling to find that issue. Infact I have August to December issues from 1991, but cannot find January to July 1991 at this point. They are in the loft somewhere. I'll have another look tomorrow as its bugging me now that I cannot find half of 1991.

Can I interest you in an article on Ari Vatanen's Rally-Raid Citroen ZX Safari rally car - September 1991 issue *happy*
