Racing Snake Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 You are right there Linds The 2.3 Duratec is such a good engine, you can take it easy with the right foot and still move down the road quicker than most or put you foot down and hold on 😬 No wonder Caterham started putting them in the R500 and CSR Mad Hatter Racing - Feel The Duralight R Torque 😬 Carl @ Penn 7's Caution - May Contain Nuts !

MikeE Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Mad Hatter - what sort of power, torque and revs do you think this new engine will make? You know DannyLT has already been down the 2.3L, 2.4L and finally 2.2L route and reckons the 2.2L was the best of the 3 variants. I assume you putting your 2.4L in a superlight chassis?

Racing Snake Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Pesky i told him to leave the Rim Wax alone Mike - Oh yes to a superlight chassis The 2.4 made perfect sense with the C/head going on and you cant ignore a guy who was Mika's engine man at McLaren when he won both world titles As to figures we dont know yet Mad Hatter Racing - Feel The Duralight R Torque 😬 Carl @ Penn 7's Caution - May Contain Nuts !
