Mikey UC Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I understand the final regs will not be finalised until 2006 but is there any general guidance that could be given so that I can start rebuilding my engine over the winter. We have a baby due in Febuary so I would like to get the engine build before the delivery –( I have obviously spoke to Ms UC about delaying the birth just a couple of months, but the response I got was a bit unreasonable IMO ) As I understand it, a boggy standard x-flow or Vaxhall running on DCOEs produces about 100bhp, as the academy series, which I think most of us are running at the moment. As I need to rebuild my very tired old x-flow anyway I am obviously interested in upping the power a little while I’m at it. Not wanting to go against the ‘sprit’ of the regs, is there a list of components that can be used to build an engine producing on more than the 120bhp quoted in the new regs. Many thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Mikey Please bear with me as I hope to be in a position to post what was agreed later today Mark D Su77on Se7ens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Mikey The regs are to include a clause that will allow up to plus 60thou overbore without altering class. However, I recommend you only do what is necessary and keep in mind the 120bhp maximum and the 'spirit of the regulations'.

Gordon Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 now now Mikey don't you get too carried away with the bhp upgrades ❗ ❗ ❗ now where's Bill Blydenstein 'phone number and my cheque book 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 Gordy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattj Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Seonds to what Gordy said! Ill be keeping a keen eye on the speed trap next year Mikey *tongue* I can see a class 1 cold war arms race developing this winter! 😬 The new class 1 regs, would they include unmodified non-supersport (105bhp) 1400k's as well? It would make sense as std. 1600ks are included! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Where the acadmey ever 1400? I am not sure it probably makes sense tho and no lifting through the speed traps 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey UC Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 Steel cranks….wild cams Mwhahahahah ❗ ❗ ❗ Forged pistons… dry sump… gas flowed head with huge valves Then I woke up and found my coffee had gone cold. ☹️ Shouldn’t think it will be anything too exotic, the engine upgrade fund keeps getting whittled away buying prams and such stuff.

Gordon Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 ...mmmmm don't you try and cover your tracks now Mr U...we're onto you.... no upgrades for me (except a rollcage and new side and rear skin)...funds are very low due to my Italian friend 😬 1400 K's in class 1 at 105bhp would make sense..
