PRIZE WILL BE A SMALL PIECE OF ROLLS ROYCE MERLIN ENGINE FROM A GENUINE BATTLE OF BRITAIN SPITFIRE! Not a clue what the BHP is (850 R Boy might) but I will welcome your educated guesses. It is in very good mechanical fettle - the engine was replaced by Volvo 50,000 miles ago: so just about run in by now. It is a manual so has a 16T. It has a RICA 304 remap. And has a Jetex cat-back exhaust and a K&N filter in the airbox. So nothing too exotic to confound the equation.
SO GIVE ME A GUESS AT FLYWHEEL AND ROAD OUTPUT - I will keep a list (well, it will be on here) and when it goes to the RoRo I will send a (small) handsome gift to the entry with the nearest correct figure!

Secondly, what route should I go to increase the performance of this vehicle next? Russ knows the car - so I am sure he has plenty of ideas! But all contributions welcomed.

Flywheel - 276.
Wheels -238. I'm shure it'll be more, but most owners usually come off the rollers way under they're expectations!!!! plus taking in the age of the car etc!

It annoyed me that scripters comments. Can anyone check and see if it was true what he said that he was being ignored? Don't get me wrong he seems like a pleb but if he has been let down then it's a bit sad isn't it. I'm not moaning btw I think the site is ace and has been uber helpful to me with my probs. (please don't ban me lol)

I looked at previous post's of his and they all seem to have been answered. The fact is on this thread when he asked a question he gave it twenty mins for a reply did'nt get one then spat his dummy. Ohh well leave him too it he is over on the chav forum now. I too agree with you i find this forum very helpful.

And I'm going to scream and scream and throw my rattle out of my pram. And if that doesn't work am going to sit in the corner and sulk and make rude noises.

There there what's the matter, did you sit on a big nasty thistle? Or did the big nasty adults tell the little boy off.

Never mind I'm sure that the BBC have a forum that will suit you, Tellytubbies maybe the more adult Fireman Sam, he does have a nice big fire engine you can look at.

Good-riddance!

Oh and now to the actual content of this thread!

259 BHP at the wheels, 268 BHP at the flywheel (Although that figure can only be estimated, unless we're removing the g/box and clutch assy (if manual) to measure it!)

Well, the prize will be a part of a Battle of Britain Spitfire - a real part of a real Spit downed in the Battle. Be a small part, but a nice object to have from the most famous aero engine in the most famous fighter marque, from the most legendary period of the Second World War. So, nice to have. Will be a few days to wait for a result - could not get to RR today - so probably next weekend.
Still plenty of time to get you bids in.

Thanks for your input and kind words. By the way, when you learn to spell correctly and use punctuation, then you may call me an idiot. Until then, enjoy your sad life and chav girlfriend whom undoubtedly has nine children by nine fathers.

Right, horsepower.... I'm going 289bhp at the flywheel and 251bhp at the wheels. :)

Not sure - but will be using Sanspeed in Bexleyheath (google if you wish) if ever I get a few hours to spare...
Could do a dyno-day there - apparently they do club discounts.

Sometime this or next Saturday is most likely. Well it will be a Saturday regardless whenever. Sounds like a cool idea - always more fun with a bunch of people there.
