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 |

It's a 4 cam with twin ignition and a full hemi chamber...
It's not even on the same planet as the engine's we are discussing here and it was designed for a 1200 pound aluminum bodied car. I have driven one in a 59 Carrera GT and the powerband was worthless, slow as dirt.. here she is, this car raced at Leman in 1960 piloted by Bill Romig- yes those are aluminum brake drums... This engine made 138HP as a 1600, Abarth tuned.. (IMG:http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/pics/carrera/DSCN0022.JPG) |
