hi all,
just bought the september mini world during my lunch break and in it is a mini with Vtec conversion, chopped roof AND SUICIDE DOORS, it looks awesome!! And in the dyno battle section a 1293 turbo mini got 170bhp, yes you read right 170 bhp and in the tech specs it says 1293cc turbo mini, virtually standard diff and intercooler. The owners expected power was 110 but it made 170, amazing!!!!

there was a turbo shoot out a year or so ago and someone hit 201hp... probably at the fly too

yep. thats right the best so far out of a turbo A series is 225 BHP..

I am going for the 200BHP make on evils build..

if you want to see more of the turbo cars and how they do it goto www.turbominis.co.uk

Can someone explain how, on a rolling road dyno, they can get readings at the crank? Presumably they get a reading at the wheels, and extrapolate it back to the crank. Why? Unless you're going to use it as a stationary engine driving a chaff cutter, it's a pointless figure. Engines go in cars which drive wheels. So the figure they should publish is, I think, the original unmolested figure.

Unless you want an artificially high horsepower figure.

Ego? Feel Good Factor? It is all a bit guess work any way though everyone denies it. You cannot factor a constant loss percentage for all cars, it just is not possible. There is something else, well a couple of something elses, how does a person selling an NOS kit know that the kit is going to get 50hp or 100hp. On what car, what setup etc. Another one is the way head modifiers say it will flow 100hp, really?
