Alex Birtwisle Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Just to add a fly to the do-dah .... I know dyno results are all relative, but I have never heard of a bog standard 1.8 preduce less than 130bhp.

Alex Birtwisle Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 The original spec of the standard 1.8 was 122bhp although they all chuck out a little more it seems. S713UMY 1.8K Viper Blue and Spandex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Niel, Picture of Lambada dohickey (I think)here Now will we need a heat shield over the strater motor as we have "more room" 🤔 Too Old to die Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.cavanagh Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 nice picy delbert! I guess the starter motor to primary spacing will be the same on our full sized cars as the whippet bots. We'll just have a bigger airgap around it. So a heat shield (especially for USA trip) could be a winner. Mav, I think the 1.8 SS doesn't really exist anymore. As Delbert said, when I got mine the standard engine was 115 1.6, then £1000 extra got you a 1.8 with 140, and another £2000 or so on top of that got the 160 VVC. The 140 1.8 has a rev limit at 6800, and the nice salesman told me the only differece from standard rover is the air filter and exhaust. So no SS cams etc etc. Not that it really matters!! anyway, can only one answer my original questions or will I have to brave techtalk?? 1) where best to mount lambda? 2) is the SV exhaust any longer? though I think powerspeed know what to do from mentioned postings. 3) catalytics converters... totaly waste of space or viable MOT option? 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil.cavanagh Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 didn't you miss a few 'bangs' out of that timeline Dave?? and the "My next 1.8ss k - 138" what made it an SS? rather than a 'bogo'??? Now, mine has never been dynoed so it might actually by less than 140,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry21p Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 the 1.8ss k was the standard 1.8 engine with my ss cams and ecu from the 1.6 and the higher rev limit as per the 1.6ss change light was nice too. lovely engine - did about 20,000 miles in that one. the standard 1.8 has the lower rev limit but considerably more torque, so whilst the bhp figure wasn't much higher than the 1.6ss, the performance WAS. The 1.8ss was EVEN better as you could use the higher revs properly (7400 i believe on the soft cut limiter and 7600 on the hard cut). The 190 was ferocious, especially with the tb's, comp exhaust, verniers, solid followers, 285 cams, emerald and the cat removed from the car.
