Coco is on about mine I think although I guess the same rule of thumb still applies. All tongue in cheek though and Dg knows we all take the p*ss. Dg it's not bullying, it's character building

Nev.... Cheer up, you moody git. Youre hardly one for not speaking up. Yes, it's in jest, and as Luke points out its nothing more than that. Lets face it, if it was someone else, you'd be moaning.... See above re kettle tuner....

Coco you instigate all the trouble round these ends. Don't try and pass the buck to the kettle tuner

Is the phrase your looking for 'pot & kettle' !!!

Hopefully news & results today

As soon as you find out the dyno plot Simon, you'll have to get a moderator to change the title of this thread ! Fingers crossed for you mate, you'll be the 3rd VX in the UK with over 400 BHP

[JohnTurbo]

Id imagine there is already a good few, though most likely not of tbis standard.

[Nev]

Does anyone know of any other 400 BHP UK based VXes? I know of one in Scotland with a C20LET in it, but thats all. I did hear rumours of a powerful one in Ireland that came over for some drag runs at Santa Pod once...

Don't forget Lee's aka LPS's....

Don't forget Lee's aka LPS's....

Im not entirely sure he has installed that engine in his VX. I have emailed and rung him about it and he has gone mysteriously quiet. The last I heard, he had only just got it back on the road after ages with it's original engine. Maybe I have missed a posting about it... if so can you point me at it pls

[MrSimba]

When I said I wasn't stressing... I lied!!! Knowing its on the dyno right now..... BOOM... Oooooops!

[Nev]

I think I can even hear the engine screaming from here in Bristol If the power is still climbing at 7000 RPM, are you going to extend the rev range as thats quite conservative? Those generic rods that CS sell must surely be good for 7500 RPM and probably more. Pistons mean velocity at 8000 RPM is approx 23m/s which is acceptable for your semi-forged pistons (same mould and casting process as mine)

Nope!

[CocoPops]

Rev limit at 5000rpm haha

[MrSimba]

Std springs & head And the rev counter only goes up to 7!!!

[Nev]

Std springs & head

And the rev counter only goes up to 7!!!

I think you'll find that the revs needle most certainly goes further than that old chap, I've seen mine pointing at the fuel bars !

Seriously though, I forgot about your head being standard, so that is the limiting factor. I think Chris Randal takes his standard head upto 7500 RPM. We can't let the Z22SE engined chaps out-rev us, as we have the advantage with a shorter stroke !

My redline is usually 7500 but I regularly take it up to 7800 if it helps save a gearchange on track and seen no issues at all.

[MrSimba]

Thanks Chris See what the dyno plot looks likae then!!!

[Nev]

I hope you are not still holding a pair of scissors and cutting hair, or I fear you may cut someones ears off with your distraction !! LOL

[Bumblebee]

Any news?

[rob999]

My prediction is 393.
