corsa Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 We are at last going to have the one and only CORSA on the rollers to see what the power output is before we get the engine upgrade. Will let the interested parties know the outcome Looking forward to see the P2WR
spooks Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Would love to see the graph for that Dave, keep us updated Spooks
scoobymadburd Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Good luck Davie Claire and Wullie Keep us posted
zeolite Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 You going to blow the lid on Gerry's baby after all this time then Davie? Somehow I don't believe it. Consider me an interested party.
Gumball Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 excellent, can you give me a call after to let me know what the figures are? should be really impressive good luck
corsa Posted January 19, 2006 Author Posted January 19, 2006 Just back after a dissapointing run on the rollers. Car as we thought was running fine but the power band kept showing dips,adjusted the pressure regulator but to no avail. Further investigating shows that the engine is not getting enough fuel to run to the supposed figures.It will mean a re-map and further runs on the rollers to gain the required figures. Even though the car still drives like a train and is ready for its first two events at Crail therafter the engine will be coming out for some pre planned tweeksand after that the remap and a full session on the rollers. Dissapointing figure of 175 BHP and 135ftlbs torque. Remember folks its a 1.4cc 16 valve. Big thank you to Stuart at Robinson Tuning in Cambuslang. 0141 641 1199
dave_morgan Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Still pretty good figures though ! INteresting to see it once it's sorted !!
corsa Posted January 19, 2006 Author Posted January 19, 2006 Stephen, it`s a 1.4cc 16 valve Bowyer developments racing engine running Jenvey throttle bodies,3 high pressure fuel pumps,swirl pot and two pressure regulators!!! Will try and upload a video link taken from a phone on the rollers last night.
st3ph3n Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Excellent. With the aid of some swift googling I know roughly what all that is now! Out of interest what sort of numbers are you hoping to make?
corsa Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Can`t really divulge the true figure hoped for due to our competitors watching
billyboy Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Ive seen this car its brilliant and the noise it makes is even better.
corsa Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Cheers Bilko corsa on rollers hope the link works
spooks Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Good figures for most cars never mind a 1.4, any chance of a graph to see how the power is delivered? BTW when does that stop reving ........ it keeps climbing and climbing LOL Be good to see if you can get more/nearer what you wanted Spooks
