Car sorted. Bloody tape mod. Thankyou Frank for your advice.(Y) Car made 96 bhp at wheels so 118/119@ flywheel? Made a little bit more mid range power. Gained 6 bhp at wheels from first run up. Happy now at it's optimum. Thanks for your advice peeps!!!!!!!! Will post up dyno sheet when I pick...

Just had a message to say my car is fixed but didn't say what was wrong with it. Fingers crossed it's a cheap simple fix.

Should be interesting. Can't wait to hear how you get off.

Going totry to get as many spares as poss then go down if got the time. Been told 1000cc t/b fits to test? Hopefully will get this done soon as heroic for a skid. Caerwent coming up soon ish

Didn't get chance to do ignition timing as after cam timing it played up. Thanks for replies though guys. Will get the dizzy mod off. May pop down tomorrow to see if can sort something.

Strange that. Worked ok on first run though??

Yes did the dizzy mod Frank. Forgot to mention that after you rev the car up the engine would stall. Excuse me for being dull what's maf is it mass air flow like airflow meter?

Went to dyno today. First run made max power of 111 bhp. Second run with new plugs, took off dizzy and upped rev limited, made 116 Third run, adjusted cam timing which was a bit out. Both cams needed tweaking, had a quick run up to 7k rpm. Was going to do another run to record power 500 rpm per...

Was like that when had the car, it's the arc of the wipers. Also im taller than previous owner so can see through it when going through a compression or up a hill etc.

Flywheel now fitted. Car revs much quicker on the spot (obviously) seems to be a bit keener to drive and is definitely different. will see if can get a bit more go tomorrow. Going to raise rev limit too. Going down to rollers with a mate who has a mk1 like my old car. Fond memories until I see...

Fair comment. Exactly right actually haha.. Be nice if someone would actually calibrate the dyno s so I could then prove to you all that my standard 1300 with a k&n makes 257bhp etc haha. I will get a before and after run on Wednesday and put a picture up of the print out. Hopefully the dip at...

The best 1000cc car that Moselys has done is 81 bhp @ flywheel, when speaking to matt earlier I'm sure he said the best one he has done was 83 I think. So got to be somewhere similar if both people got similar results with a few cars. but that's only 2 dynos :grinning: I know Moselys has had...

Never done a quarter mile myself. Those times don't lie though!! 20-30 is a massive difference when only got a few to start with. Just been on the phone to matt Humpris, he was talking to Moselys earlier and they are going to raise my rev limiter to about 7200 and see how she does. Even if just...

Yes that's with an exhaust manifold sorry. I've always used this dyno Moselys in west Wales as found it to be more consistent and accurate than my local dyno. My local dyno always reads more and the cars I had always drove crap afterwards. Moselys is doing a lot of 1000cc challenge micras and...

Hola. Getting my car on the rollers again this Wednesday. Just wondering what sort of power other people cars are putting out? Be interesting if the members posted up what mods they have done and what proven figures they are running? Think this would be of interest to a lot of members to see...

Another little picture of the 'beast' haha Will hopefully be getting flywheel back today so can fit it tomorrow and see if feels any quicker or more responsive. Fingers crossed for good results. Once back and fitted I'm going to get the car re dyno'd to see if cam timing played with can give s...

Very similar looking to the bike carb splits I used to have. Couldn't get the fueling correct on those either. I think if was going to get carbs I'd get four as last time wasted about a grand experienting with the splits with £600 buying them from bogg bros and 3-4dyno sessions with extra dyno...

How is franks set up?

Your only allowed 1 choke per 2 cylinders. I used bike carb splits before on my pinto. 2 cvk carbs between the 4 cylinders. They didn't work properly no matter how much dyno time

Would prob just go for a bolt on simple jobbie from bogg bros etc. Just throwing a few ideas about. Spent a fortune on my last car and the spending just got out of hand. I believe my cams have a 254 duration or so I have been told. If I fit the carbs I cannot compete in road rallies so still...
