What sort power you expecting from it?

Also are you going on track with it?

Nice car though

Hi Sean

I'm hoping for about 150bhp (up from 120 as a standard 1600) as i know my exhaust is a bit restrictive according to all the posts on blatchat.

No plans to race at present, though I'd like to. I like the look of the Stiker and the Caterham in your pics.

I'm currently refining the fuel and spark maps. Do you know what your maximum advance and AFR targets were for high loads at 6- 7K for your K series engines?

Best regards

Ian

Hi i am getting it remapped this Saturday so should be able to give you some details,

Currently at about 185bhp,

But run a bigger cam and need to play with timing of the cams etc,

Had the head ported to pair up with throttle bodies and exhaust etc

Hoping to see near 200 with the DTH throttle bodies, I also run mine upto 7700 rpm,

It keeps Erving but need to be careful as pistons are a weka point at this rpm



I keep you informed,

Sean
