also why are there rollers so bad then with high figures ? dont they get them checked out

it's not that they are "bad" it's just they seem very optimistic in that even totally stock cars have made way over standard power on them at past rolling road days.  But they are at least consistent which is the main thing.

Varley, what cam have you got in yours now? When Currie had it he put a schrick 268/268 for a turbo in there. That engine will take plenty of boost though if you want to see in excess of 220.

Got a one off jobbie made by newman specifically for my setup which PSD specced for me ahead of the custom map so should be ideal.

Very nearly went turbo a couple of months back but decided against it for the time being, gonna let it bed in a bit and make sure I make the right choice. Quite like the idea of a G60 but have concerns about how the box would handle the torque delivery?

Saving for some coilovers at the moment though so all plans on hold!

Good idea, people always go for more power, power power. and never spend on handling or braking.

I've stocked up on gearbox (4) and charger (3) spares preparing for casulties :D

The off the shelf 'one size fits all' for modifications aint going to get you a desired power figure. Deffo need to tinker with maps and cam profiles comobs to get the best. Thats probably why Jabba's car got up there, having time and funds to keep playing at it.

Luckily, I got hold of Mr Tull's 58mm toothed pulley. I would of been up for that otherwise :)

The awt kit out the box so to speak is shocking but it does not take much to mount things slightly different for it to be reliable and strong personally I love mine.

I don't think you could make 200bhp with a g40 lader, be it 1272cc, 1341cc or bigger.

Barney's made 194bhp at stealth, and about 187bhp at Aldon I believe. I've never believed Jabba's figures to be quite honest, at work I can give you a dyno print out for an engine that's well under, or well over the odds, all in the correction factor  ;)

58mm pulley is asking for trouble IMO especially without a decent map.

Eaton's in my opinion sound annoying! Remember a quick drive in Eekie's car (about 20miles) which was more than enough. For proepr refinement, with reliability turbo is the only way  ;D

G60 lader are savage, and will give 220bhp+ on a well specced 1341cc engine, torque delivery is savage, so expect your drivetrain to take a beating- I renew my CV joints every year, I guess a G60'd G40 would need them more regularly.

I think the 8v heads haven't got a huge amount to give after 230bhp anyway, but time will out!

yeah jabbas demo car his here

http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,568.0.html  and its just over 170bhp on a 1272...

so perhaps 170 on a 1272
185 ish on a 1341 g40
then obviously turboooos  1w lumps, eatons, g60s are a different game.
