JPE 2.2 on Ebay?

The BHP things is so hard to understand.

 

My Swindon JPE engine on it's weber alpha setup made 249.8BHP on Swindon's dyno. My Q450 QED engine made 241 BHP on QED's dyno). QED have a reputation for being conservative with their estimates. If indeed the JPE engine only makes 230 ish BHP and the QED one made more than 241, why does the JPE engine feel a bit faster? It also crossed the line at Curborough at consistantly 100-101Mph. The QED engine was consistantly 99MPH.

 

I find it harder and harder to attach meaning to such numbers.

Out of interest Alex, does this engine have 'Caterham' cast in the inlet manifold? Also, what exhaust were you using?

Arnie,

 

It does have Caterham cast on the manifold. I Believe Swindon matched it to the head. Eric told me that they use a 4:1 rig of similar spec to the standard Vx system but with a bigger outlet on the 4:1 collector. I'm using DaveK's 4-2-1 system on the car.

 

Alex
