Throttle Bodies

I mean I was thinking of having an engine with power at around 170hp - 200hp???

that'd be easily accievable on a 16v on twin webers mate, just look at what Preens doing with his engine, that should put out over 200hp i recon

150kW is a lot harder to come by than US dynos show, believe me!!

150kW is a lot harder to come by than US dynos show, believe me!!

Yeah thats very true. Also depends on the altitude its dyno'd at. Benny is getting new a wheel dyno in the new shop so when i get the donk done i'll tune it on there first up and get some figures, keeping in mind we're like 850m above sea level.

The other thing is too, have you ever driven a car with anywhere near 200hp and less than 900kg?

You're talking about a bloody fast street car. My mate has a 200hp atmo (2l pinto engine) Mk1 escort road registered race car, and it breaks traction in third gear at 50kmh with grooved Avons. It weighs about 900kg and its FAST. hits about 235 or a bit more into turn one at eastern creek, it's as quick as a modified EVO 7 in a straight line.

Heck, my little 1.7 donk was a quick little engine, and it only had (i reckon) about 130hp.

My mk1 with a stock kr with efi scared the cr ap out of me, i cant imagine even more power in it. One thing is for sure tho, it needs better brakes and i need bigger biceps to turn that steering!!

and i need bigger biceps to turn that steering!!

BUHAHAHAHA sorry but thats a classic call

Getting over 100kw at the wheels out of an NA 16v is the way to go

So why doesn't everyone do it.

It must be pretty easy if everyone say's so.

Just out of honest interest James.

How much hp is your dad's destroked 1.6L? 16V making & how hard has it been to make that power & what cost's have been involved?
I reckon there wouldn't be much change out of $10+k. The MoTec alone is should be over $4K tuned.

I'm rife to tell weads to head to the gym but I feel like dennis the menace reading that

[velly_16v_cab]

most of the track guy in the uk run 2.0 16v's on k-jet. most of them putting out 180bhp+
a few are runningiTB's but not much gain (if any) over the k-jet boys...but they do sound nice lol

of course it is in an NA 4 banger.... but more than achievable
