henry21p Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 As soon as the budget allows, then I'll be calling you directly. In the mean time: If ANYONE wants to know lots about K series heads, camshafts, verniers or cam timing and work that can be undertaken on them.. Talk to DVA.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted November 22, 2005 Support Team Share Posted November 22, 2005 My 1.9 with a solid cammed VVC head will be hitting Emeralds rollers tomorrow - I'll report the results when I get back. I've been running it in for the last 3 weeks and it is very tractable - in fact it's easier to drive than it was as a 1.6SS. I've been running restricted revs and have yet to take it over 5000rpm so don't know what it is really capable of but overtaking is effortless in most situations. I'm expecting to be scared witless when I can use all 8000rpm. Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr G Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Shaun It will be interesting to hear your results. Mr G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hi Shaun, Shaun' engine is using BP285H cams which should give peak power just below 8000, with his balanced bottom end and forged pistons with VHPD rods the the engine is capable of spinning much higher but he has quite sensibly chosen cams which keep the engine well in the comfort zone. These, with a properly ported VVC head and TBs should give 205-210BHP on an 1800. It will be interesting to see what they give on a 1900. Oily P.S. I have the battery box from your Seat here Shaun...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted November 23, 2005 Support Team Share Posted November 23, 2005 See my post here for discussion of the results but basically 227bhp @8000rpm and about 167lbft at about 6750rpm - I'd say that is a pretty good result. Dave - I'll pick up the battery box next time I'm in your part of the world - I hadn't even realised I'd left it behind. Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
