Adam.
One should probably not estimate HP when other people are after some serious advise.It only confuses the issue.

this is your idea of serious advice?
Quote: Depends on what you want to use the car for a 100HP at the wheels is easy to achieve. over 100bhp per litre with a single downdraught carb on a 2v ohv pushrod engine

Granted, a fat torque curve is always going to be better for curcit racing & general driving than a peaky one, but more power will give you better acceleration if you get the gearing right...... It would be interesting to see a simulation of where the crossover is - i.e engine 1 has 130hp @ 7500, & engine 2 has 200hp @ 7500. how much more torque would engine 1 have to have down low in order to be faster from 0-100 or down the quater given optimal gearing? My guess is that you would have to assume some pretty spastic looking torque curves for the 130hp to ever keep pace.

I was talking to boofhead & he is getting 90-100rwhp in his sedan with twin 40s & it was built buy the Feral. I think he put a post up a while ago.
200hp N/A A15 is acheivable but who would want to spend 20K on an a series to get all the nismo gear to make it happen. I would if i won Tats. In the first post its not stated that he wants 100rwhp

Who said we were talking about N/A??? surely you would be able to get 100hp+ from a turbo a12 cheaply

People talk about bhp because it describes the amount of work that the engine's torque can do in a given period of time. a 130bhp engine will never match the accelleration of a 170bhp engine in a similar car. For an engine to have enough torque down low to match the 170bhp @ 7500rpm, it would have to make (at least) 170bhp @"lower"rpm and be geared very very tall to compensate.

with all the talk of 200bhp going around, we must be talking turbos. Cheaply/Easily? Well, 1200rallycar's twin turbo EFI A15 produces 100bhp at the wheels after a couple of years of tuning and blowing things up.

Aye L18_B110, that's what i'm sayin
 - You might have a chance if your 130hp engine made that from 2500 rpm onwards but it would have a pretty improbable torque curve

Hey Harry,
I too didn't want to get sucked into the dreamland vortex that this thread has produced BUT .... 100 RW HP from 1200 with single downdraught  Maybe I will throw away the 1400 and twin webbers and try this ..... I can only manage 89 RW HP  Converted had 106 with his engine and it was considered quite good. Well, as you said - "When the flag drops ..."See you at Bathurst. Cheers
