Thanks for posting that link about dyno operator mistakes, I had no idea

That means a 5.2% overage (if my calculations are correct) so the indicated 117.3 HP should be more like 111.5 HP. Either way pretty healthy for an A15

I thought with those number plates this car must have been owned by Geoff (Member 120Fly) who used to make all those great fibreglass parts for us....but looks like it's Luke that owns this 120y.

will be substantially more than 5bhp I'd imagine, but without knowing what the Dyno Dynamics does with that value, it's all just guesswork.

lots of guys with race engines struggle to make more than 100rwbhp. So without knowing what headwork (none mentioned), CR (not mentioned) or cam (just says "huge"), who knows... But if it really had the amount of work required to make that kind of power you'd mention some of that in your ad wouldn't you - not just "Rebuilt A15 oval port, fuel injected with a huge cam"

Maybe the gent is like me and knows little about engines. Me myself know basic parts but not combinations. My last engine, I just walked into a performance place and stated I wanted a 120hp motor and coughed up the asking amount
Rebuilt A15 oval port head injected with big cam that produces 117 hp.
OK we know the engine is reco. Oval port head, does it matter how much its ported or size of valves ??Does it really matter if they are stainless valves with triple springs or a stock H89 ?? Big cam. does it matter what the spec's are ?? It is basically a drop in motor and off you go. I am sure if you were genuine and not a tyre kicker and actually went to see the car, you may get further information.

If the only real selling point for your $6500 120Y is the "117bhp" engine and 5spd, but it turns out to be a stock head, yes that matters! Unless you don't mind being completely ripped off.

I sold my rust free 120Y 2dr sedan last August with turbo L20B, 5spd, mod plated, roll caged, S13 brakes, good suspension, rare 120Y 2dr sedan for less than he's asking... Pretty sure this (extremely) orange coupe was advertised for the same price back then too btw It certainly has been for sale since well into last year.
I'm such a tyre kicker, I since bought a better condition 120Y coupe and modified it far more extensively than this one for less money.

OK what about the 5 speed , is it a 56 or 60 or 63 , is it a dogleg ?? thats a good selling point too for the car. But no one has asked that question.
This car is for sale, obviously, you have no intentions in buying it. You just want to know the engine spec's. And I dont care if you can build a engine cheaper or have a better condition car. Point is the car is for Sale !!
And comments like yours are doing real justice for this bloke trying to sell his car for the best price he can.

It looks good
If it drives fast, that's what matters
No matter which 5-speed it has, they are all an upgrade from a 4-speed
Buyers will presumably make a test drive so they won't misled -- if it accelerates hard then his price is fair
