Title: My -54 and -55 Ovals
Post by: SuperTrigger on February 27, 2012, 15:46:28 pm
Greeting from Finland!

I've been leeching here few years now na dthought I share my projects with you as my friend (fgronlund) has allready linked my site here.

I have 2 ovals 54- and -55. Older is  my, hmm... race car, kind of. :D and newer is for daily driving.

-54 oval has 2386cc engine at the moment and I have managed to get 234hp out of it. (195whp) -55 is 1300cc stocker so no that about it. :)

check out my blog if iterested how I have ended to this point.

It has been very intresting to se the development of this engine.
If i remember righ,t first version of this engine where in the range of 160whp, second littlebit stronger and latest just under 200whp.

Personally it will be intresting to se how theese "pipemax" optimazed engines will perform durings this year Wasa Dyno day. Hopefully we will be able to come over the magical 100hp/l.
As normal we have a small competition how will be able to achieve this first with a atmo engine ;D

you are correct,

Evo 1 was 2332cc and 160 whp
Evo 2 was 2386cc and 172 whp
Evo 3 was 2386cc and 195 whp

Evo 3 had 98,7 hp/l so quite close to 100hp/l allready. :D

Cool projects and impressive results! 100 whp pr liter is quite something!
Getting the header short is a tricky task... don't you just hate the shape of the sump...  with a different shape in the rear end you get a better shot directly at the collector with you pipes.
What length primary's  are you aiming at?

Oh sorry,  98,7 hp/L from the engine... That from wheel would really be something! :D

That sump is really pain in the ass, but I got them quite close to what I need.
I'm targeting to 667-729mm so it would be good for 5400rpm to 8400rpm

What I managed to do was 735mm +/- 10mm... it shoud be ok for 8000rpm But it might be that my pipe size is bit too small now... :(
But we will be wiser after dyno. I have also "stock" 2" header that I will test and see what is the difference between headers. :)

Btw

First test runs completed last Saturday. :)

Ho Ho Ho,

Over a year from last posting.  ???

Well I have an excuse, winter passed very fast because of our new baby girl (now 10 months old) :)
But I got some last year problems solved just to find out new ones. :)

But after all challenges myseason started last weekend at Pori Airfield.

Made one decent run, still missing 4th gear change. Then in last 2 runs I missed second gear... :( So I think I need some practice for driving.
Here is some incar and outcar action. :)

Next race is next Saturday so no need to wait too long! :)
