(G) Strong UT

saw an 1400 UT in performance mag today, 1400 block, 1600 16v palio cylinder head running 1 bar boost and no gas and it makes 650 NM torque.

whats the rest of the spec then?

Dunc

Palio head does not fit a turbo block

650nm, at the wheels maybe

you can get the head modified to fit, his got a standard sub assembly, I will see if i get a chance today and scan the complete article and post it here.most people here also told him his bull****ting about the power, but he runs a 12.5 sec 1/4 mile without gas?? will post so you can read for yourself, will do in about 2-3 hours time.

I don't know precisely how it all works, but a standard 20V Turbo Coupe is 2000cc, and runs 1.3 bar boost as standard. And it runs a 14.5 second quarter mile. It takes about 350 bhp in a Coupe to get down to a 12.5 seconds quarter mile. 460 bhp will get you an 11.9.
So to get that out of a 1.4 with 1 bar boost would be very good!

busy scanning the stuff, then you can read for yourself.

here you go,stated 13.1, after artcle it did a 12.5.
ps: sorry for bad quality, still an amutuer scanner.

right, this car makes approx 195 bhp and 479 lbft of torque!!!!!!
bullsh*t. nice car and conversion to 16v is interesting. but on any uno T engine, its not about bolting big turbos and dump valves on to go faster. you need to modify the internals first. thats why so many uno T bottom ends fail.

well it's proven here in SA, maybe you oke's over there got reject ut engine or something, but like they say, here in SA we like to kick ass!!!

Even if it got the 190bhp - which would be impressive - getting nearly 500lbft torque would be impossible. Even 250bhp JTD's arn't at 500lbft!

Good on him then. It must have been quite some task fitting that head. 'modified to fit" is a bit of an understatment. I cant see it catching on

It will be much more than 195bhp. It says 150kw, I assume that is 150kw at the wheels as thats the rating SA usually uses. Torque figure will be at the wheels too, in 3rd gear maybe. My Uno is making about 550nm at the wheels in 3rd gear.

torque is in relation to power and revs. so that engine must make its power at low revs. and if and its a big if it does make that torque, then why is it so slow down the strip with all that torque
no way on 1 bar does that car make that torque. he is telling porkies.

Low down power does not usually go hand-in-hand with a turbo.

its a formula thing. if its making 195bhp, then to make 479lbft of torque, it must make the power at 2600 revs. me thinks he is telling porkies. i think his torque is more like 230lbft.

HAve you ever heard of a thing called loss of traction, they use normal road tyres and not semi's or full slicks, i think if they put that on the car it would run close to the 11 s.
I'll try and get the dyno printout to show you, btw it's all at the wheels.
