caterhamnut Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 'vs' ?? My god, the definition of a 'spat' has changed a lot since the old days of 'proper' arguments (3 hr version) between some people (usually Arnie v..... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickh7 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 why do people argue with Oily over k issues , "I think mines is fine" well have you tried another one? I went 4-2-1 after talking to Dave and the car is just more tractable and that's a stock 1600 Supersport.  As for it faster over 120 , that must be great on a few track day straights 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterhamnut Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 - ah, I wasn't correcting spelling etc - merely offering the opinion that at this point, it is a rubbish argument compared to spats of old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyCoulson Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 It's not even a 5 minute argument. They must be in the wrong room 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The Ever Fatuous Arse arguing . Who would have thunk it . What next he will agree that all rollers are accurate and that well Vx is just as good as K Â Pity most Duratec engine run more than K2 RUM ever pretended to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Can you show us a Duratec which put out 300bhp 16 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The Duratec's dad managed 295 in BDX form, how many Vx engines really made 300bhp ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed White Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I had an ex vauxhall touring car engine that made 286. If arnies was a similar spec, allowing for variations in rollers it could show 300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I drove it and would not argue with 300bhp. Wasn't it over bored to 2.2ltr ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It was more like 285bhp on a good day. My JPE turbo was a genuine 320bhp with dyno plot to prove and far more drivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355GTS Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Mine was 274 with about 5% left untapped according to Steve & Steve, for anymore it would have needed some serious changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Mine did 292 on a stationary dyno and that was without super-high-end-stuff like 2ring-slipper-pistons etc. Mine´s bored to 2.1 though but so was Arnies´. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 What's the between-run-on-same-dyno and between-dyno repeatability for these measurements? Thanks Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed White Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 292 and 301 could simply be the time of day. Rolling road it on a cool damp morning and the air is denser so your power readings tend to be higher. At least that's what my old rolling road operator used to tell me. Ie 292 on a sunny afternoon would be 301 on a cold morning. Ideal if you are selling the car, of for bragging rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
