[Messenjah]

standard 2.0 pinto is 98 or 102 depending if its fixed or viscous fan

[Mr Sam]

does the fan make 4bhp difference or is there something else about them?

[prefectopop]

My standard slant six in the dart make 135BHP

 

The 100e - ooh about 5 I think.

[bortaf]

Depends on wether you beleive ford figures TBH the RS2000 was quoted at 110 with just a different ex manifold and the 2.8i cappa gained 10 BHP over the granada 2.8i by just having twin exhaist systems but strangly kept that extra 10 when it went in the sierra with a single system

But yes the viscouse will give you extra as it saps less than a fixed fan

[mk3cokebottle]

cavaleir standard red top 150bhp

[bert]

THe 1.6 Vtec going into my Fiesta will give 170bhp as standard

[garyv6100e]

Just got hold of a new essex for my 100E with stage 3 heads and lumpy cam should be good for 170 bhp

[bmxdave]

standard 2.0 pinto is 98 or 102 depending if its fixed or viscous fan

 

Whats an electric fan worth then? 8bhp?

[bortaf]

A viscouse saps very little power, a leccy may give you an extra 1 or 2 but only when it's off .

[oldbus]

We´re running a standard 2,9 24V in the van

 

Standard(BOA) should be 195 BHP

 

Electric fan and no cats should have us at about 210......and it´s not getting any more!

[trevb]

TOTD 'undereads' its just the rollers they have, we got the same make at college, 68 on them. 74 down the road its all to do with how often there calibrated etc

[Mk 1 Mark]

My Cortina is 211 BHP at Track and Road SBD XE on 45 mm Throttle bodies

thats real interesting to know - as mine is off to TOTD next week

 

soooo - which one is giving the correct readings then I wonder......

[deltamal]

I'm running a nasp YB, 240 bhp on the dyno, 210 on rolling road, about right I guess, 30 bhp loss on transmission.

If your making 210 bhp @ the wheels mate, that is one stonking engine you have there!!

[fairlane500]

351 cu/in small block V8.

250 bhp and 350lb/ft torque.

Ford's figures so may be a little optimistic
