I dont want to question your qualifications - and with all due respect dont care. I know mechanical engineers (my background is electrical engineering) and we can argue all day about that... its beside the point.
I was quite simple in my reply - I simply said dont be a smart-a$$ because your last comment was baiting Aaron - and nothing else... wether you admit that or not - it is what it is.
My point about getting it on GRs dyno is that its calibrated, and yes while that can also be argued its what the racing community and all engine builders in Australia respect as accurate and in his control - a true representation of the actual torque. (As I said before HP is the math)
Im not really sure what the whole argument is about !!!
People building these things would build them for one of 2 reasons
1. The potential Torque/HP they will get
2. Because they simply want a BMW head A series.
So, if they want number 2. Fine, no discussion needed AT ALL
But, if they want number 1. Then its in Matts best interest to have it dyno'd, flow tested and post up some results.
I simply cannot see ANY reason NOT too do it... people really want to know, and I can speak for myself (and I think Aaron) when I say we are genuinely interested. Not having a go at it. Matt has developed something great - in my opinion its at the final stage which is test and prove... I really dont see what the issue is??
I WOULD argue about your point that GRs dyno is inaccurate.
Actually, its almost a contradition as mechanical engineers designed the Engine and Chassis and Rolling Road dyno's. Are you saying that they are all innacurate so we should no longer trust Mechanical Engineers with lots of experience? <<-- Yes, thats me being a smart a$$
Specifically to your point

When people start attacking people’s work and their integrety using buzz words that they have picked up hanging around good people like GR it is a shame, and that is exactly what has been going on in this thread and the others that you and Aaron have been expounding your great lack of knowledge in
Your off track here. NO ONE is attacking the work - unless I have misread or mis-communicated ill make it clear again . Good on him for producing this conversion, all cred to him. All I want to know is power figures now... and real tests (crank torque, 1/4 mile, etc)
I have sold my turbo mini - I dont have one at the moment, I am planning a 5 year project and looking at all options. Twin Cams, Turbos, etc etc and this IS an option (in fact the beemer head is stuffed downstairs with the other crap
Listen - lets all agree on one thing - we all want to know what the heck kind of power this thing will produce right?
If thats right - lets do it...
