Well let's not get carried away nowphilyoung wrote:It's 200+nm torque and upwards of 150BHP, apologies for mixing units.
200 Nm should be achievable but bhp is only a function of torque and rpm. To get big hp you need consistent torque at higher revs, but that's not something that 2-valve per cylinder engines are particularly good at acheiving (compared to 4-valve designs)
The Oettinger 2500E engines made 140PS (metric horsepower) iirc, I would be very happy if they made that kind of consistent torque through the rev range, it's all down to the cam design. The Speedshop exhaust will help a little, the pistons are good bit lighter than the originals, it all helps.
Anyway, it was delivered safe and sound to North Wales yesterday, the lads seemed impressed with the pipework and we talked though the couple of fitting tweaks which should make the installation a little closer to optimal.
PS I can tell you that oil pressure was 55psi @ 10 deg.C cranking, not quite 60 psi at idle with 10W40 oil.
