it also depends on which day of the week and which dyno the car has been tested on
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

you're right, different dynos will give different results, if all are set up right, should only be 2 - 6%, whats the day of the week got to do with it though, is every Sunday 22* 1016mbar and every Tuesday 16* 998mbar?

We roughly get to see what people are running out of their mouse motors regardless of what dyno was used, because its not a contest just info.

Welcome to the forum Hermann, that a healthy 1914 mate, seems you are still playing around with turbos, why don't you tell us more about your other engines eg, 2013 T4 turbo. we can just call it 2L.

-- Most amount of HP out of 2L or less

Scaling the Formula One engines (2.4 litres - 582 kW) back to 2 litres would give about 485 kW, but that doesn't really answer your question as there are severe restrictions such as
- no more than 4 valves per cylinder
- no forced induction
- no "exotic" materials allowed
- limited to only 18000 RPM

Taking these restrictions away, it should be possible to make (forced induction) 1000 kW out of a "2 litre or less" for a short period. You may need to speak to your bank manager.

Hi.
It has been so long ago that I put togeather my 2L type 4 turbo engine, that I can hardly remember all the specs.
It uses standard type4 casing, crank is also standard, just lightened, polished and balanced. rods is also standard type4, lightened, polished and balanced. Pistons is KS 95mm (1mm oversize) with vaive pockets for the exhaust valves, in bored out type4 cylinders. The cam is a reground type4 cam with about 290 deg. advertised duration and .5" lift at the valves (not a turbo grind) on 108 lobe centres. I use type 4 solid lifters and type4 aluminium pushrods. Rockers is out of a late model with hydraulic lifters and big adjusters (they measured out to have the most lift). I run 44 mm jintake valves out of a nissan L28 sngine and 38mm exhaust valves from a nissan ute (exhaust valves had to be shortened). It is running chev v8 double velve springs on vw retainers and nissan valve locks. The heads have been flowed by myself and is not welded. I use a locked out vw 2.1 wasser boxer ignition system and draw through turbo system with a 750 vac Holley. I built most of it myself an have run it with up to 28psi (2 bar) boost without any problems making 325 Kw.
This is a drag engine only, so I dont know how long it will last on the road. I have only seen type one turbo engines of 1914 making more than 350Hp and do not own one myself.
Regards Hermann.

Aaron's 20B Kombi puts out over 700 at the wheels doesn't it? And that's less than 2L.

Good memory Dave!
The 1835's best was 11.91 @ 110.87, 19/05/01.
Good air - 339', tune was K84 main pill, .036" secondary bypass, .042 K40 high speed with 43mm throttle bodies and .024" nozzles.
Launched @ 6000 off the 2 step, shift at 6600 and 7200 through the traps.
Weight at that time was around 1420-1450.
Best at 1/2 track was 7.50 @ 89.68

IMO....HP is a pissing contest.

Its worth is in tuning but the real test is on the track

My 1600 has bugger all HP but bugger all weight, but can hold it's head up at the track so I really don't care how much HP it has.

The thread was started to see how much HP is produced with varieties of engine combinations under 2L, maybe suss out some out of the box thinking (Johannes @ JPM, Cal Look Forums) and learn a few things, cause there's plenty of experience lurking around the aussie forums.

I just hope people don't get confused between engine HP and size of their appendage.😊

The daddy of them all has to be the most powerfull F1 engine, The BMW 1500cc M12/13/1 engines from 1983-1987 era.

The blocks were sourced 2nd hand and usually had 100,000 KM on them. BMW's thinking was that the structure had settled by then.
Apparently, blocks were to be seen left out in the weather to further stabilise them. In the later years of this engine, BMW discoverd a process which was performed on the new blocks.

It is also believed that German engineers urinated on the blocks as well!
Sword makers in the middle ages would quench their swords in urine to make them stronger.

Urine has high levels of ammonia which contains nitrogen....Nitriding!🤪

Capacity: 1499cc
Bore x Stroke: 89.2 x 60mm
Max Revs: 11,500rpm
Power;

1983:-Race @3bar 740hp
-Qual @3.2bar 800hp
1984;-Race @3.8bar 880hp
-Qual @4.5bar 1,050hp
1985;-Race @3.6bar 850hp
-Qual @5.4bar 1,200hp
1986;-Race @3.6bar 850hp
-Qual @5.5bar 1,300hp
1987-Race @3.8bar 900hp
-Qual restricted to 4 bar

Pretty amazing for a era with mechanical injection & antiquated electronics!😎

There were also reports that BMW did reach 1,500hp in qualifying trim in '85 & '86!

365 000k's on that engine when i dropped a valve. case hasn't been split since it was built. All I did was repair the damaged head and replace exhaust valves, one damaged piston and rings.

So in my books it is STILL the same engine as all i have done was repair the damage. If it had a total rebuild then it would be a new engine so obviously that isn't the case.....
