You are very correct mr burglar, as always.
Over on 16vminiclub a member called "noiseymini" got 150.9@fly from 1600k-series, air filter, custom exhaust, ported head with 3 angle valve seats and vvc inlet manifold. Which i was quite happy to say he was using the Rover MEM's ecu.
I aim to get the car running first, and after a couple days roadtesting i will move up to the throttle bodies and see how the mem's handles that. For BH2N i am most likely to be running a fairly stock setup though. we shall see
I will be setting the car to run on the Original K-series injectors and map sensor and turn out a nice set of ram pipes for it. Once ive done that, my next big step is to create a nice plenum chamber to fit to the throttle bodies for a little forced induction
Im not going to go nuts over this, i want a nice smooth power curve with good response and decent off boost performance aswell. Its alot to ask but that why im swaying towards the idea of supercharging it rather than a turbo conversion.
Realistically, i'd like to see 170hp with torque around the same, if not higher.
In heindsight, if evolution (on 16vminiclub) can get 195hp on a 1.4 turbo, i should be able to see these figures without too much boost.
