realistic power?

[ash 101]

What realistic power output could i get from my 988cc engine?

 

[daveeeeee]

depends how much monies your willing to spend, the gearbox/clutch wont handle 90+ for long. this topic has been coverd loads of times do a search you'll find loads of stuff (Y)

mines running 70bhp currently with just twin webbers with the manifold i will be fitting, cam and big port head im expecting around 90bhp and i think thats easily achievable

i won`t much money till late junauary when i get my first army pay.

my k10 went well with a 2mm head skim , belt tensioner was maxxed out tho !

Cam timing would have been out as well.

70bhp? is that at the fly or wheel? thought you were on more than that with them webbers

 

[Speedle]

remeber that as standard the 1.0 is only 50bhp at the fly or 55bhp if its a high comp head, so a gain of 20bhp is huge. if i pull my finger out and fit my 4-2-1 it'll be more. but yes thats the flywheel figure.

to put that in perspective the standard k10 1.0 does 0-60 in approx 15.1 seconds mine does it in 9!!!! and i do have videos to prove that

I fitted a 4-1 manifold to my MA10 and it produced 61.1bhp

thats what my 1.0 k12 does i think roughly but will find out one day when it gets timed by a pro lol the smaller the wheels the quicker ya get there if my mind serves me correctly like i said b4 and prob will say again (dont quote me on that lol!):slm:

Yes the smaller wheels will accelerate quicker as it requires less rotational force to turn them (torque). You try and turn a small wheel quickly from the centre then try the same with a bigger wheel. You will know how the engine feels.

On the contrary though, if you had some 15" OZ Superlagerra's or similar then they are lighter than steel wheels (about 6kg each) plus the tyres being smaller will make them even lighter compared to the steel setup. Down side of them is they are expensive.

**EDIT**

I just looked here http://www.oz-alloys.co.uk/p1019150.htm and the wheels are 5.2kgs each and cost £498.99 with Toyo Tyres so they are not that bad.

 

[ash 101]

i`m bidding for some k11 sr wheels that are 13" that`ll be a start.

 

[Arnold]

Remember though, if you've got too much power for these 13" wheels, they're not going to grip! You'l have to get larger wheels to get the power down. We're probably talking over 100+ bhp for this though

70 BHP? that would be great especially with the naf autobox, can't be bothered to change it to manual.
