rgrigsby Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Superb result Dave, it sounds like a real screamer of an engine, amazing stuff. Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted October 12, 2006 Leadership Team Share Posted October 12, 2006 Phenominal result It's just quite incredible how it continual appears possible to eek more power out of a normally aspired K - over 150 bhp/litre! Dave, your handiwork is excellent! Dave, I assume that the bottom end is the "standard" 1900 Scholar conversion running steel rods and crank 🤔 Stu.

martinwhitcher Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Bl00dy hell Dave..... I can not wait until we get mine built now :-) what bottom end is simon using? Martin MW 51 CAT Superlight No.171 now known as:Superlight DVA 207 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I saw this car running at Curborough when it crossed the line at 111mph, where my 240bhp R500 could only manage 101mph. Both were running the same tyres and needless to say Simon now holds the double lap class record for Curborough Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Stu, Simon would rather that I didnt discuss too many details of his engine, so I must respect that. I do know that it has a steel crank and rods which originated in his orignal 1800 bottom end. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted October 12, 2006 Leadership Team Share Posted October 12, 2006 Understandable I ask about the steel bits because the power (from a number of engines) is now getting into the area where knowledge and experience will soon give guidance about the power point at which steel rods are really a "must" and then somewhere higher, the crank. You've given a bhp/revs figure for some years over which you believe forged pistons are preferable, and with current power outputs will no doubt yield even more knowledge! The question is purely from a strength/reliability viewpoint, not a desire for inceased power - the actual rods/crank/pistons etc used are Simon's business Stu.
