Yes , and do it with standard (non full throttle) gear changes, I want people to see just how laggy these 'big' turbos are on a Mini.,

yes ROLAND.... 13psi.... when you can do this number AT THE GROUND... come talk to me about turbos

Can I bring a 2litre 400lbft turbo MINI to the party?? Its nearly the same comparison after all......

Stroked V 1.6litre isnt a fair test. :)

isn't this the point here?

comparing apples to oranges;)

this is exactly what Roland is doing.... funny how they don't want to play when its not in their favor:hmph:

comparing 24psi of boost vs a car making 13psi of boost

if you really want to compare something.... turn the boost to 10.5psi and run it against our stroker with the eaton at the same boost, 10.5psi

start at any speed and see who wins;)

There are pluses and minuses to both turbo and stokers but different engine capacities cant really be compared on an even laying field is the point I was making.

This 'we produced 320bhp and we only ran 13psi' nonsense may fool some people but not me . I know exactly whats done to make this trick look impressive, and is very good for marketing heads in particular. Tell you what turn it up to 20, 24 or even 34psi run it on pump fuel , no nitrous, no full throttle gear changes, and vid the speedo from 60-130 then lets have a look at it.
I can do a half reasonable 0-60 tbh (SC or turbo) , but Im not in the buisness of using drag mods/tricks and drag driver skill to distort and then promote as ENGINE performance achievments .
Many people on here are not as 'in to racing ' as you & me, therefore they look at quarter mile and 0-60's, and without realy analising things are often led to believe the results nearly all down to engine power, when in truth its far from being the case. My tests remove this 'distortion' and allow engine performance to be seen and compared (once there are more vids up ) with proof ,by all.,
I can understand your twitching, ...too long hidding behind your own generated RR printouts I think..As Lee says all the powerful JapANESE cars swear by 30-130 mph as THE test for engine acceleration performance testing .

Roland,
you can believe all you want, there is no "funny" business with our dyno's

also.... the term "jap" is highly offensive........please clean up your post

The shortening to 'Jap 'is not regarded as offensive over here:confused: , 'a Jap car' is a perfectly fine abbreviated thing to say, and is not a derogatory term ,however if your touchy (why?) I'll change to Japanese just to please you.:smile:
