We can lighten it for you but as its a V6 you will need to have the full crank assembly re-Balanced as well, because of the counter balance weight in the flywheel.

I hope that we all learnt something today about exhausts ? & what poer they can loose ? Great picks dean, nice to see you there

HT Are at Scratchers Lane. Brands hatch, Kent For bookings on the rolling road phone Aaron on 01474-872888.

A friend of mine is going to London on Business next week. He was looking for a London Underground map. Google gave him this HYPERLINK "http://www.backingblair.co.uk/london_underground/"http://www.backingblair.c o.uk/london_underground/ While not compulsory, it may be advisable to use headphones !!

It would be nice to see what the other Engine buliders on here would Quote for a turn key 180+ spec pinto with all new parts ( forged pistons & steel rods & carbs & dizzy & Lumenition & double big wing sump & exhaust manifold & Dyno tested all as per my list ???? If they are up for a chalange then copy my list & quote !!!!

It looks Great & nice to here that it has one of my Engines in it what did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking ??? as it looks like the one that I was looking at buying

Nice looking Engine whats the spec ????? Wht HP & TQ will it give ???

Ginos car is now Red & has one of my YB Turbo Engines in it & it was dynoed @ Julian Godfree's last year @ 806 hp

Woo woo My car gave 136 HP & 136 TQ On TOTD Rollers & its dont 60K so I was happy with that Fords quote 144HP & 136TQ (New) Do you all want me to spend another £100+ £ to prove that as well ??? This is geting out of hand now ROLLING ROADS ARE ROLLING ROADS & DYNO'S Are DYNOS they both do the same thing but the NUMBERS Might vary , but its all down to the operator & there knollage & Dont know any of them that dont know what they are doing

My god, I thought that this might calm things down but it looks like its stirred things up & I can only apologies as I didn’t mean it to, I only put my money were my mouth is trying to help as I always do. On Boxxers Engine you are all talking about 4% between rollers, I done this to prove to my self that in the car My customer would see the numbers that I showed them on the dyno sheet that I give them Everybody is think about Numbers ,Numbers ,Numbers, Numbers Please remember The most important thing is how it drives & if you think that it runs as good as is should No misfires ,no det ,ect & if you got value for money on the Engine that you purchased. Like I have said already choose a rolling road that you are happy with & stick to it IT’S YOUR BENCH MARK FOR FURTHER CHANGES. If you can’t find a rolling road that you are happy with out of all of them in London then take your Engine out of the car & put it on a Real Dyno like HT’s or Roushes

I have kept out of this so far but I do find it all very interesting reading but I would like to set a few things straight. A Engine Dyno is used so that you can get a accurate reading straight from the flywheel & so you can set the Engine up safely & run the Engine in safely in a controlled environment watching oil & water temps & fuel mixture up & down the rev range with ever increasing & decreasing loads with out having to watch the road & little old ladies in there fiestas when running the Engine in. A Rolling road is used to optimise the Engines performance in the car as the Exhaust backpressure & the distance between the inner wing & the ram pipes & the amount of heat under the bonnet all make a difference. As long as when you put the car on the rollers & do a run at the end you can see a improvement then the numbers don’t really matter it’s the graph & how the car dives that is the important part, I personally like a Engine to give the most usable Torque as possible instead of the final HP Number. When I Dyno our engine on HT Racings Dyno I always optimise the Engine & cam timing to give the best torque curve, OK it might sacrifice a few HP @ the top end but you will gain a much more usable torque curve, you always go through peak torque to get to max HP. So the moral of this is if you are happy with one set of rollers then stick to them they are then your bench mark,& then if you make changes to carbs or exhaust or head or cam you can see what differance it has made. Dont just go to differant rollers because your mate got high numbers from a differant set of rollers
