So whats the spec on the car to get that much power?

oh yeah, didn't see that.Originally Posted by nik
i reckon the exhaust and boost at 14/15psi are all thats needed to see 270bhp from a rev1/2....they reckon you get 10bhp per psi increase so at 5psi more than stock=50bhp+220=270 plus exhaust? 277 sounds bang on to me,im pretty proud of the exhaust on this one,nice free flowing design all crammed under the boot floor.
Cracking calipers grommit!
the guys a powerhouse said the engine's bang on and running just right for a rev1,they were well impressed.
they said only my intercooler was letting me down,as the hot air can't escape from in side the boot,they aslo said it would help if i seal around the sides of the intercooler as the air would go though it not around it.
they where trying to get me to put the intercooler was on the roof!
Stu, you're running a standard CT26 aren't you? Power graph looks bang on for a rev1/2 with a CT26; notice the power dropping off at the wheels after approx 5000rpm? You'll want a CT26A, CT20B or some hybrid on there now

1974 Ford Escort mk1 : wide-arched + Vauxhall XE 16v on carbs

yeah its a standard CT26,but not for long lolStu, you're running a standard CT26 aren't you? Power graph looks bang on for a rev1/2 with a CT26; notice the power dropping off at the wheels after approx 5000rpm? You'll want a CT26A, CT20B or some hybrid on there now
been looking into new turbos,ours can be a bit smokey at odd times.:toke:
so if i swap for CT26A, CT20B or a hybrid it should hold the boost a bit longer?

i think you will have to right click and save it to your comp.
the dip in the torque curve at 3000rpm is bit stange,but what do i know lol
probably t-vis related,not sure when it starts to open on a rev1 3s? anyone?
stu i dont think its the turbo that smokes occassionally,i checked the IC pipes are they were all bone dry.I think its got something to do with the donor having been on its roof and the oil running to the top of the engine,possibly filling up the inlet manifold and/or exhaust system....the smoke on startup was wild,i bet it clears after a few weeks use mate,but def not the turbo,it runs without spewing any oil into the IC pipes.
A ct20b or hybrid ct26 would work wonders on that car!
