ledwith racing has now developed the 20v for 225bhp at 8500 & 160 lbs torque from 1598cc engine.
Engine in car made 192 hp at wheels and 131 ftlbs through rear wheels which conservetively would loose 30 bhp and torque through transmition losses
From graph it can be seen that the power has not topped out at 191. If we reved harder it would have made more, Mapp has linear regression to 9000rpm but is limited to 8600 rpm for safety.
I had to type over some of the boxes as it did not come out in photo!
Chuffed...

No. the engine was mapped by Gerry Hodgins. I just build them. Yes dates are very mixed up but im sure it was the last things on the mans mind. The map is the important thing. I did not even cop the april 1st thing at all. Well spotted

i know you said it was for safety....
but why stop at that rpm when you have all that bottom and top end bling to help it rev safer and higher
at least see where it tails off on the dyno,and then set your limiter at the desired level?
