Cheers mate, its currently a fresh engine with wossner pistons, pec rods, lightened and balanced. The head has been ported and im running a gt25 for now, not aiming for silly figures probably only run about a bar of boost but should be over 250bhp

Love the look of this car matey it will be an animal when its done.Would it not be easier to use injectors and a different manifold instead of that carb.

Looks lovely.

250bhp on a carb? jesus fuuuck that! go ofab lol

K P

ha ha ha, it may have been easier but I wanted to keep some character. I think the carb looks pretty crazy and is different, in the future I may look into a set of twin 45s from a lotus esprit!

The SU carb will fuel 300bhp though lol

crumpet

I know the su will flow Ok up to 200-220 but didnt know up to 300, i doubt anyones ever made a 8v leyland shitbox engine take 300bhp lol! I do spose itl be different! what does it come on boost like and whats the fueling like on standard jets?

you got a wideband?

love it mate.credit to ya

Less.

A work of art,full credit to you

K P

The car is going to be set up this weekend, it does have a wideband fitted yes

I have a video of it on one of the first fire ups here:



seems to boost nice and early....

Jet wise the main jet size is the same size on all these carbs it all goes by the needle which will almost definately need modifying.

EscoVan

Awesome car mate

crumpet

all good then! love the look of the rear of this with the pipe

K P

First runs on the rollers 246bhp 290lb/ft. That is on a dyno dynamics so an acurate figure.

it went lean right at the top, so some needle modifications this week, Iain thinks I will see 200bhp with ease, loads more to gain

How much do you reckon it would cost to put a little track slag together? nothing fancie, just a running engine really..

K P

2.0 Blacktop zetec on bike carbs would probably be the cheapest bang for buck and good fun on track, reliable

A mk2 could be done much cheaper as they are cheaper to pick up and theres a lot less involved lol

to do a mk1 on a budget I reckon you would need at least Ł1500 probably more, trouble is parts are getting harder to find, as said the mk2 is pretty much the same car but much more straightforward and therefor cheaper, parts are easier to come by etc

mikekean

What front valance is it your running on that? Looks pretty smart.
