what power figures can i expect?

[mk2*mad]

Ive got an engine build in process:

 

2.1 pinto (standard crank, rods, mahle pistons)

stage 3 head

twin 48's

lightened flywheel

are ported and polished etc

 

What power would you expect?

1/4 mile times?

how will it drive?

fuel consumption?

 

it is spiralling out of control!!

[s_j]

dont know about the rest but as for fuel

[oliwally]

There's no such thing as a stage 1/2/3 head.

its something used to sell crap heads.

a head needs to be machined and ported to the valves you are using and the lift generated by the cam.

Also Group 1 stainless valves are 2mm too long in the stem.

Could be 150bhp to 180bhp.

all down to whos doing the head and if they know what they be doing

[mk2*mad]

head done by vulcan engineering. Was just refered to as a stage 3 head. just wondered what sort of 1/4 mile times people can expect with this spec

[DEP]

All depends on what gearing your using,Ideally a 4.1

Is the car stripped out inside or does it have a full interior?

mine did very low 15,s nearly 14 on twin forties/ and in full trim

what spec is your car exactly?

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

150 ish bhp

 

high 14s low 15s

 

crap on fuel

[SmokeEm]

Sounds like a 180ish bhp spec to me and should run high 13's or low 14's.

[banarama]

perhaps it depends on the driver

[samurai]

Id say 160hp.

 

48's are too big, put 45's on.

[harris horse power]

It's gna be 165ish and who said it's gettin a Harris sticker

 

48s will be fine

[banarama]

It's gna be 165ish and who said it's gettin a Harris sticker

 

48s will be fine

thats what i need for mine 48,s what you recon its 161bhp now on sanspeeds rollers they said 48,s needed

[mk2*mad]

It's gna be 165ish and who said it's gettin a Harris sticker

 

48s will be fine

 

No he wants a stacey sticker

[mk2*mad]

simon he wants it 2.2 fully forged now...open cheque book lol

what it runs down the strip is not all about power, depends how light/stripped out your car is , what gear/diff ratio,s you have, tyres, etc......
