How much power have people been able to get out of a stock displacment motor? Torqure and Hp?
I can recall reading about people getting 120hp from 1.7L type one motors years ago. That is on pump fuel. With the technology available today I would think that volumetric efficiency could be pushed further than before while maintaining reliability on the street. So is 130-160hp out of a 2.0 totaly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) I know Porsche did it years ago with a couple diferant 2.0L motors like the 901/911 or 587 (street motors not track). However, they were radicaly diferant compared to the simple type 4. .... -Rob |

Sure wish us folk in the San Fransisco bay area could easliy find 92 Octane. several years ago it dissappeared from near all the service stations (at least all the station i have gone too)
We recently had a big price drop in gas, we now pay closer to the national average. Had to do with the katrina thing, and the EPA waiving the special california only gas mix (with ethonal and /or MTBE), beause of gas shortages. Seems the special gas not only reduced milage, power and rotted rubber parts in older cars, it also costs more! Hoping for more hurricanes! |
