This is a hard one to call,

I would love Dave to win because I would love the fact that he has spent so little money on his mods

do you want my r/r graph??

yes please.

after very very little deliberation, i have come to the conclusion that the devilishly hansome man of charm will win through the day in his proper mk1 over the notoriously dastardly and dare i say, astheticly challenged contender in the floppy topped pretender.

read it and weep me dear, just enough bhp to balance the weight difference……

sorry but  wasnt that 5 yrs ago…..

yes. old car. sorry, but it was more for me to compare than anything.

sorry to be pessemistic, but you are showing 110lbs of torque at 2000rpm?

best keep it above that then eh.
impressed by yours tbh

tenner on it….?

mmmm
noted air temp……
wish id done mine in winter

theres mine

that's a graph of my old car. that was a fast mk1. tuned by the same methods as yours. to a very low budget

so what you gonna run sunday mucker,
lets have it all out in the open, like mine….

83.8kW = 112 bhp, right?

it worked out at 115bhp. think that was adjusted. look at the peak power rpm. 8v doesn't breath?

I'd be interested to see a chart of lambda vs rpm, then you can rule out leaning at the top. So any losses (with flat AFR) are due to volumetric efficiency factors.

whats under the hood woody??

yeah whats under your hood wooders

sounds a bit dogy to me

we need to know how much you both weigh?
you may need to do like boxers mate.
my suggestion go for a dump just before the off

has he come up with whats under the bonnet yet??
whats he hiding ?
could it be the magic screw in the throttle body????

Both have listed their mods in reasonable detail in the thread, and both AFAIK are going to be near/at standard weight, which is public knowledge. Based on experience, there's not a significant amount of weight you can remove from a Mk1 before you start to lose functionality. So the facts are pretty much out in the open, here.

Seems like a fair contest.

Now, ben, how much boost are you running (and holding) and should I be worried, given that my fuelling isn't quite optimal?
