You haven't got a m reg white one as it might be my old one which i sold in aberdeen area

no ive a H and F and G platers. im pretty sure the last ones made were K's though? i may be wrong.

ive built a new exhaust manifold and run it on a T25/T2 hybrid with 560cc injectors and cossy intercooler and a load of other mods. its not pretty but my god its quick!!
ive got an M45 blower to strap on it next but that might get grafted on to a Rover K but ive only just got the car

okay maybe it was an H i don't know it was white i remember that much and it went at quite a stupid rate of knots for something that your granny should be driving.

And don't turbo a K shoomer can show you a nice pile of ali scrap

aye they are stupidly fast.

i wasnt going to turbo the K, just low blow supercharge it. i would rather have a torquey elise than one thats got nothing then an almighty powerband in the gods about 7k rpm

what went bang? ive had a look at K's in the scrapyards the rods look a bit weak and the liners look a bit thin. i dont know what the comp ratios are but they must be pretty high for forced induction. and i guess if the liners arent at the right heights then the gasket will give problems.

Turbo Technics actually modify the engine considerably with new pistons etc, and bring the C/R down to around 8.8 to 1.

On the other hand my S/C Honda is running at 11.5 to 1.

jesus

11.5:1 is pretty high, what boost is it running?

tut · Post by **tut** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 11:53 am

Around 6lbs at present as I have the wrong size crankshaft pulley on, but the Jackson S/C kit and pulley that I have on is meant to run at 9lbs, so I am probably down around 30hp on what it should be putting out.

I have a 6" crankshaft pulley coming, so will fit that and a larger air filter shortly.
