2180cc on the dyno: 211.9PK at 6300RPM and 250NM at 5400RPM, this is a street and strip engine that pulls really hard from 3000RPM to 7000RPM, verry drivable at low RPM!
me happy ( thx to my buddy x-tof from proformance)

That is very good numbers for a 2180.
On the other hand, both cam and heads rock.

.... did you happen to try with stock venturies versus the JPM venturies ? It would be nice to see how such an engine responds to them over standard.

Thanks Torben,

I didn't try the stock venturies vs the JPM ones on the dyno, but what I did test on the road with the 1915cc engine was the difference between 42 venturies and 42 JPM venturies and velosity stacks together with the 3th progression hole and F2 emulsion tubes and it feld like an extra kick in the bud! So much smoother from bottom to top RPM! JPM goodies rock! ;D

Cheers,

Christoph

Melvin,

If you look closely...it's 256Nm of torque! ;)

Nice numbers!! Do you know why the curve is "dipping" at around 3500 rpm? Wheelspin on the dyno? To rich?

Regards

Folke

Hi Folke,

We tried several setups and the one for road use is the one you can see with the dip. It's indeed a little to rich at that point but you can barely feel it on the road.. it seems that the resistance on the dyno is higher than on the road... ;)

Cheers,

Christoph

it was the first time out with the engine
on saterday we are going every run beter and beter, at saterdaynight i was suprised of the results. i was standing on the 3 place with just 0.27sec after dangerine ( ottobros) and my best run wasnt my 3 gear  perfect ( a little fold of me  :oops: ).not bad i think for a car around the 800kg and that uphill. my best reactiontimes are 0.03 and 0.09 ( i dont now how i do that :D )on sunday i dont work on the car i just had 1 run for fun. next time to work on it will be bitburg in september.
special thx to xtof from Proformance to help me with the stuff
