we have removed the 1200cc 54bhp engine from Chris Boltons formula vee and fitted a 2165cc turbo engine.
This afternoon we put the vee on the dyno and the end results were a healthy 175bhp @ the wheels on 15psi boost . very nice and it looks like Chris will have a ball in the vee .
pics and video soon , getting Bens supercharged bug ready for dyno tomorrow and we are all on my turbo oval tonight.

Well done,
Any specs on the motor as that is the same as my motor and interested in comparing.
thanks

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Hi

I would love to see it go around a track with that setup, like being strapped to a sky rocket

Man I love how you do things in such an understated way sometimes Wayne... going from 54hp to a "healthy" 175hp... that's more than TRIPLE the power !!!

If it's anywhere near the minimum weight on an FVee 1200 of 475kg or whatever it is... well that's just an insane power to weight ratio !!!
