ya may be suprised at my knowlage matey, just cause i work at a place you have no knowlage of dont make me stupid

just cause i take the piss and post shote dont make me stupid either



infact i could be thinking about building a 2.1 zetec engined car to wheel spin and torque steer all over the place


or i could stick with a car that holds 25psi up to the limiter thats rwd



fast cars get from point A to point B in a short space of time, not spin on the line and then go left

So whats the point of this post then? To share a pic? Cant be to increase Jano's profile as an engine builder as he aint a trader and it cant be to brag about figures cause no-one belives the bullshit without prove.

I was never one of Jano's haters but him and his gimp seem to be all tight lipped about this magical 170bhp RsT Only interested in spec

he could tel ya but he woukld have to kill ya


think thought to make 170bhp on a zetec its either gona be high comp, much bigger than a 2.0 or perhaps the rollers where having a off day due to the weather


but then the other way to look at it is i wouldnt be happy to have 170bhp if i have a 16v engine fitted

I don't see the fuss about turbo engines making power at 'low boost'.

Just because it makes 170bhp at 5psi doesn't mean it will work well with high boost - infact to me it means it is better tailored to being a N/A engine to a turbo one Big power turbo engines for road ful/cars don't make big power at low boost.. FACT.

Fords 16valvers were making 204bhp with 8 psi almost 20yrs ago.. so nowt staggering there

4years later they were doing 227... so why are we going down to 170 now?

Can we have a bit of a spec sheet then if we're supposed to be impressed?

From my recollection, even the old early knackered 2 litre Mondeo engines were making 136bhp, and the later ones making 150bhp.

i judge the quality of the guys work from the quality of his photo's. you'd get better pictures from david blunkett.

i mean, come on. at least if you're trying to market stuff over the internet, use a proper digicam and not a cheap shitty camera phone.

if you must use a camera phone, at least get a decent megapixel one.

I agree with Phil you cant have your cake and eat it, if you want big figures at low boost then you end up with too much compression to run big figures at high boost.

Making 170bhp @ 5psi makes it sound like it will be a good tractable road car.
