yes all very interesting, we have dynos that are shite, engines that will never give more than 270 and views and impressions that confuse...but live on the forum...I like your last line Ryan with a bit of development...what development do you suggest...perhaps we can move it to a useful conversation...yes we have the manuals and on mine it says 290 bhp, thats what I am living with.
its true that most 2 litre engines generally do not give 300 bhp, but I guess its madness that a motorbike engine of just 0.997 litres gives 175 bhp and more....and a 500cc motorbike gives just shy of 200 bhp...and thats in the year 2000
Ryan, I hear what you are saying but your views are clearly your views, tinged with excellent knowledge but as I have heard on here before some people have very closed minds....and whatever we get these engines are ours and we will have fun with them...300 270 or somewhere in between. Mine with nitrous will do what I want and thats plain.
Anyway coming back to my engine...I will collect it this week and ponder the plans and then start the build..got to sort the sump, easy job, sort the throttle bodies, without restrictors...although I may restrict these myself to give me better low end torque, maximum power is pointless without a reasonable power curve, for a road going car anyway...had an escoss once with a 510 bhp engine, totally useless, if it was not at full revs it bogged down and was slower than a std 1.6 escort.. great if you drove it flat out all the time but mental fast and simply mental...useless car. not for me stupid high power again although an MR2 with 500 bhp and twin turbos sounds cool..still hankerafter an s2000...lovely car...
