The case for normally aspirated

I stand corrected there Moorin
I was too blown away by the sountrack to bother looking at the video!

I have heard of bike heads being grafted onto the polo block though. CBR 1000 rings a bell too. Bmw K1100 head on an A series Mini too IIRC.

 

Are we 100%? Where's the info actually from?

Lots of pics, wait for the thread to load them and it's bottom of post 1:

Berg Cup, Eschdorf 2009 - click

 

^^^^I recognise that bit of road, Mike.

 

I think that 50 sign is just a guide, you can go as fast as you like...or is that the other side of the fence?

 

No, the sign is merely a suggestion.

 

Your both right...

A speed `limit` sign on a yellow background is merely a guideline as to maximum speed.

So said the guy who marked my Theory test paper and deducted a point for my `Maximum speed` answer to that very question

My, `It`s not the wrong answer is it? Merely a `right-side failure`` cut no mustard with him...

Nowhere in any official documentation can I find confirmation of this though. Only that if a yellow background is used it`ll only be deemed legal if it is rectangular. No reason is given as to why a yellow background would be used...

 

Railway speak

 

Rumbled...

 

Well, if Radical can do it.... A Radical V8 is two Hyabusa heads, ported in a certain shed, and mated to a custom V8 block.

 

Does the 'shed man' do all the Powertec V8 heads?

As I understand, it is a 'Powertec' V8. Radical then puts them in their cars...

8Valve FTW
That sounds the business tones and mr hillclimber.
Especially coming down that straight when it gets a chance to open up through the gears!

 

16v FTW

That Seat kitcar sounded good coming towards the corner (must have had a mile or so to get up to those revs what with 16v lack of torque).
Coming out of the corner was a different story though....gutless!
A few quid difference in the budget between the Seat and the "tones and hillclimber " cars too I would imagine.
This being the case the results are as follows.....

8v FTW
16v FTL

 

Front up some 8v power and torque numbers then

Meantime, tuck in:

its been annoying me where i found that information, i think it was in golf+ or PVW when they had that green mk1 berg cup car in they mentioned they use the hayabusa head and ignition system. i may stand corrected on where i found the information but it does make sense for a 1300cc bike head to be on a 1300cc car block and thats where the revs come from, must be cheaper then trying to build a car head to do that kind of rpm.

 

not vw's but anyone who loves n/a will have a soft spot for these
