Final Power Run Update - Today 13/06/2007
I have now done apprx 400 miles running it in and today I had the car rolling roaded @ Hi-Tech in Cradley Heath West Mids
Engine was revved to 8000rpm
Produced 184 bhp @ 7095 rpm at the wheels
Engine sounded sweet and no nasty sounds at all
A smooth torque curve starting at 1750rpm maxing out at 145 llb/ft torque @ 5500 rpm holding till 6800rpm then dropping off
Drives spot on now and ready for some fun
It may not have silly BHP as per turbo power but am sure I will have just about enough to do at least 50 mph now

10K+ Poster!!
184 @ the wheels !
Was just about to say I had 160hp @ wheels pinto and it was mega but yours must be awesome
Cracking work though, looks fantastic, black is by far the best colour on a mk2

The problem that you have there on normal pump fuel is that you are running fairly high compression for the sort of shite at the pumps these days.
So in order to run much nitrous you are going to need to retard the timing a fair bit to avoid PCP's getting so high they lead to detonation.
Its a fairly specialist application so I dont want to wrongly guess at figures for you, but im sure with some ignition retard you can probably put 100bhp of gas in progressively without a problem.
I wouldnt recomend holding it flat out for long periods though as the extra ignition retard and the nitrous will increase your EGT's, so sustained use could easily see you melting something sadly!
Obviously though on race fuel you could probably put 200bhp+ into it and have no worries, especially given the bottom end strength you have!
