Tuning is a kind of art. Which performance and drivability should the car
have and what can be achieved? But also what can legally be certified.
All my work has been concentrated on learning the technology to a very
detailed level, more than anything else.
So
far, 5 (6) different engine configurations have been built.
Much work has been done on design, simulation, build and
test of four different Turbo configurations on two different engines.
One with a fast road 292 deg cam and the other with a standard GT cam.
This has lead to a better understanding of what a Turbo can do. One
conclusion is that
you should spend some time, before implementing a project, on what you
really want of car performance (check Wintek Services).
1. Original
Ford Kent 1600cc with two double Weber’s. Almost standard Ford Cortina
1600cc Mk2 performance.
Conclusion: 82 HP Reliable and fun.
2.
Ford Kent 1660cc Tuning. Two oversize bore, high compression, flat
pistons, high flow head, larger inlet/exhaust valves, dual springs,
double cam chain, mild road cam BCF2. Two double Weber’s 40mm/34 mm
venturi, own high performance manifold and silencer system, 215mm clutch.
Conclusion:
Excellent performance 124+HP/172nm. Difficult to get the ignition
timing and Weber’s to track over the full load and RMP range. |
