I see you are now going back on all the horseshine about the Caterham dry sump now you have shot yourself in the foot (again…)
Give it up Simon, you are beginning to look extremely foolish.
To summarize
Your post stating that Uldis’s engine was close to ‘Butts’ was disingenuous and extremely daft considering that all the evidence proves otherwise.
So there we have it…
Uldis’s engine makes 220BHP and 153lb/ft, it has made more torque but the spread was poor so the exhaust was changed to beef it up, this brought the peak torque down to 153lb/ft from 158lb/ft but improved the spread of torque. A good engine but (to quote the owner) not in the same league as Steve Butt’s or the recent crop of 1800cc ones from me.
The 243BHP engine above is a VHPD exactly like yours, big inlet valves, ported VHPD head, 1444 cams, absolutely stock bottom end. There is another too at 238BHP and 164lb/ft again identical to yours, big inlet valves, ported VHPD head, 1444 cams, stock bottom end except Scholar rather than Rover liners.
I am not going to embroil the onwers in an argmument that they have no interest in. With respect Uldis, I believe that you are too close to Simon to trust that you wont pass on details and involve the owners is endless 'phone calls, badgering emails etc. they have stated for the record that they do not want any contact with the protragonists on this or other BBSs.
So I have to take your word for it, right?
Sorry, not taken.
Like many of you guys slagging Simon, where’s the proof? (same same)
And regarding that engine that was �xactly like line", sorry, again, don’t agree.
Can I use your glasses? maybe then I would see things like you do.
You have posted recently about the terrible windage and 80% aeration caused by the awful Caterham dry sump system, how exactly does that tally with the 10-12BHP increase that you suppose it gives?
Even I can see that Simon was talking how bad was the Caterham system on a moving vehicle. In his opinion a well baffled wet sump would produce better real life results in terms of coping with corners and avoiding starvation.
And in a rolling road the car is not moving as you know.
Get real Simon, you are living in a fantasy world, the RR Uldis uses is considered generous compared to Dave Walkers rather than the other way round. We’ve already played that one out.
Wrong.
The Dastek RR over here reads less than Emeralds. The day after I went to Emerald I went to Dastek just to make a reference run.
According to many that were involved in seeing the plots (somewhere in this site) the consensus was that it read about 2.5% less than Emeralds, so to apply 2.5% more to correct.
I apply 2% to correct just to be on the safe side and those numbers reported above are already corrected by 2%.
You can go and search, (I would advice not to go to Seloc to search, as they seem to live in their own sadomasochistic & incestuous world)
It always amuses me how you end your phrases with a concise closing line like “get over it”, or “fact”, or some other nonsense to make it sound really manly, that you are right.
I am not the BHP king and don’t need to be, I’ll leave that to the Audi guys. Steve’s engine is more powerful than mine, no question abut it.
All I want is a good lightweight engine and I think I have it.
Now, as you would say: get over it.
Ah, and BTW as far as I’m concerned if what you say is true (the power that your engines make) to me it proves that the K is really a good engine, so even less of a need to get an Honda or Audi, right?
Nor is ‘Erland’ definitive. Infact, far from it when half the information is recycled from others.
Also, are you saying your dyno-plot is inaccurate? If it is, then upload an accurate one. Otherwise you look a bit like you’re having a tantrum for the sake of it.
Your engine is not in the same league as Steve Butts or the 1800s that have recently been to Emerald despite Simon Erlands statement, that you have already confirmed. RR differences apart (and I have seen no evidence of the discrepancy other than the traces on dyno-plot) it is still miles away.
Why not upload the comparison plot from Dastek so we can see for ourselves how it compares with the Emerald plot?
It is of no concern to me whether you believe the figures or not, that is entirely in keeping with your previous posts here. For what it’s worth the 238BHP engine is already on dyno-plot.
I should remind you that it is not me who has been shown to be making incorrect statements on this board but another person who we both know well.
Since Simon has already dragged the names of the owners of two engines out here to try to bend to suit his agenda, it is hardly surprising that the others are reluctant to give contact details. When you consider that a recent 1900 of mine has given 264BHP, then it should come as no surprise that an 1800 can give over 240BHP, the fact that your doesnt may be a disappointment to you, but hey, that’s life.
If you are serious about wanting the figures confirmed then I can do that to an independent source, but I certainly am not passing on confidential details to Simon via you.
As for getting over it, Simon raised the subject of your engine, not me, in view of the postings made here it was an unwise thing to do.
Been sitting here on the computer for 2 hours since I came back from work.
There’s many other things that I have to do than type and upload charts. In fact, I’m feeling guilty already of spending so much time here, so go on, type what you want, it’s not my ticket.
But don’t expect any other than your friends to believe the things you say just because you say so.
We have established that the Emerald run on dyno-plot is bona fide, now all we need is the Dastek equivalent showing 204BHP and then I’m sure we will be happy to accept a 2.5% discrepancy and award your engine another 4-5BHP, it will still be a country mile away though.
I’m sure that scanning the plot and uploading the figures will take no longer than the posts you have made here.
I will talk to the owners of the two engines and see if they are happy to have their plots uploaded anonymously to dyno-plot.
Uldis, considering the shite that has been heaped on me on this BBS by your ‘amiga’ , most of it proven to be utter rubbish, I defend my right to make robust postings. If you dont like it you are at liberty to say so, but it wont make any real difference.
It is an unedifying experience to watch a temper tantrum played out in public. Try to keep your toys in the pram.
Why do I need my friends to believe the things I’m saying? I’m not saying a damn thing other than asking Simon to put up or shut up (possibly by posting your plot?)
No real need for anyone to believe me there, as the proof is in the lack of collective pudding from the KingK camp.
It’s odd that the people who’ve done tinkering with the K themselves (Myself included aswell as SteveB, SimonS etc) can spot the BS a mile off. The danger is, letting it go unchecked so people with no experience treat it as gospel.
Then ignore these threads and your experience will become all the more pleasant. Seriously.
I’m not saying these threads shouldn’t exist because there is value in with the…well, I don’t quite know what to call it, but I do find them depressing, as I’m sure do all involved.
