Default Close to hitting the magical 200bhp!

Hello!

An engine I built for a race car in the 750MC series was on the rollers on friday being mapped at Track n Road.

It's a 1.6 Fiesta/Focus engine and it's in a Sylva Pheonix which I think is about 500kg so not shy..

Anyway - was very proud when I heard what figures it had produced, spec below and a graph.

But 198.3bhp @ 8109rpm and 137lbs/ft @ 6172rpm

Spec:
Std rods shot peened, forged pistons, SS5 cams, ShawSpeed ported head retaining std valve size, 40mm Jenvey DTH TBs, 12:1 compression (kept low due to std rods).

Limiter is set at 8300rpm for the sake of the rods. Mine is same spec engine, except I'm on 42mm bodies, and have bigger exhaust valves, as well as forged rods, so will rev a bit more



P.S Very proud
