That 1159 must be putting out some serious power. ahem Hope you get it sorted without too much inconvenience Well funny you should say that We had a Turbosport rolling road day last weekend........ So I ran the Kadett up on the Rollers to check everything was OK and to see what it had in standard form ;D It made 53bhp and 55ft/lbs at the flywheel with a very nice curve all the way through....... Made 37hp at the rear wheels which Jane delighted in telling me was less than her 350cc bike (single cylinder air/oil cooled, 4 valve, 4stroke).... hers makes 38hp at the rear wheels Maybe the 16hp transmission losses were trying to tell me something

Thats not a bad figure. IIRC the chevette 1256 was only quoted as having 54bhp when it left the factory.

Well big thanks to ImreallyslowExceptwhenitcomestogearboxswapsMe Yesterday we swapped boxes......went really well and took about 2 hours ;D So the rest of the day was spent making an exhaust for the "Plasterers van of Doom" ;D That is going to be so much fun.......... 2.9 turboTechnics V6...... 4x4 all in a new Mk4 escort van shell with black bumpers and steels...... ;D Looks totally standard..... perfect for Chav baiting.... So all in all the most productive day spent on cars I have had in a long while ;D

Sounds good, V6 single turbo, and a 2 3/4" ish exhaust right through .......... to a single Magnex Back box ;D does sound rather rude..... Have to try and get some footage of it running ;D
