Settle an arguement

if its a proper mk1 it will be too low to fit on the rollers  8)

102bhp as they definately get better with age!  

At the wheels then low 80,s

Yes be careful wiggling your injectors!!!!!

Ive got the same engine roughly same mileage, which ive almost resurrected, so im going to be optimistic for you and me both and say 107BHP!!

Be nice matey but i do think it is a tad optimistic  

i rmember a thread like this when cabriaulait was putting his on the rollers everyone said 100 to 105 bhp

it was a standard engine that had been thrashed to death and it made 115 bhp on the rollers to everyones supprise

so older the better  :wink:

84 atw 89 after set up unless it's going to stealth or tsr, then add 10bhp to the figures.

What was the outcome  :dontknow:  :dontknow:

I don't know how they did it but i got a figure at the flywheel and the wheels. 119.5 at the flywheel 8O  and 87.5 at the wheels

Can anyone explain the huge gap?? I know the clutch is slipping so maybe thats where it lost it at the wheels  :dontknow:

I do have the print out if anyone would like to see it

Yeah pop it up - I'm sure someone can decipher it for you.  I'm pretty sure a slipping clutch would account for a fair bit of the loss though.

Not very clear but here you go

LOL 87.5 BHP

My rotten black tintop was putting out 109 at the wheels and that had done 250K

do you have the printout?

^ yeah, evidence is everything, besides that its 119 bhp its 87 at the wheels! which in a little car thats plenty for a standard motor

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah wot he said  

Thats very good for your vehicle  8)

 

I wasn't that bothered about the figures before the run but now i have the figures i just want more    i already bought a k&n filter and am now looking at some 4 branch manifolds, its like a bug has grabbed hold of me  

I no what you mean .

Just left a holding deposit on a larger turbo  ops: You can never have enough .
