Hi all!

Just a quickie for you all.
I've a Eunos MkI 1.8 and was wondering if anyone knows what the factory BHP was?? I've heard conflicting reports ranging from 124 bhp up to 131 bhp. I know it might seem a bit "so what" but I've got a mate who works in a garage with a dyno in the UK. Planning to go over soon and throw her onto the rollers and see how many ponies have escaped or indeed gained through light mods over the years!

An another note anyone know the fuel comsumption figures for the same?

Many thanks

Dave

I think the bhp was about 128 and the combined mpg about 26...

The bhp would be different from country to country due
to emmission regs. Hence finding different bhp figures.

We had a Dyno day a few years back and Pats 1.8 was around
the 119bhp with a K&n on it.
Most of the standard 1.6 cars where between 102 and 105bhp.
Wim had a 1.6 with a home made cold air intake at 122bhp.
My 1.6 with a jackson racing intake was 117bhp.
Frank with the turbo was 242bhp

What it was supposed to be out of the factory,
i don't think matters as it might never ever had been that figure.

Jeez yeah! We must have another soon...

Found this post from Wim from the first Dyno day we did :

Morning all,
maybe some feedback on Saturday's feature: The Dynoday.
As all of you know some of us went for not such a normal drive on
Saturday. We went to Westward Engineering Dyno Centre in Enfield.
What they do is strap up the car to the ground (in Frank's case add
some 50 kg extra to the boot hehe!), put the rear wheels on rolls,
put a big fan in front of the car, check your engine if it runs
smoothly, and then go for the test.
They rev your engine in every gear and see if all goes good. After
that they go for the real test: make the car roll in 4th gear, and
then rev it up from 2000rpm to what they consider as the end of it's
range.

---------------------------------
What came out of that test is this for my car:

It's a 1991 1.6 Si, no modification except from K&N-filter and has
150.000km on the clock (since Saturday, party!) and came standard
with approx 116bhp in 1991.

Power at flywheel: 123,9bhp
Power at wheels: 99,2bhp
Power loss (due transmission, tyres, etc): 24,7bhp

Max torque Speed 4330rpm (at 62,5mph in 4th gear)
Max engine torque: 111,1 lb ft

Max road speed reached in test: 101.0 Mph
Maximum Engine Speed reached in test: 6997rpm

So how did I get these 1239,9bhp instead of the standard 116bhp. Well
it seems that the combination of the K&N-filter and my geniously
designed aluminium air box did the trick.
I am a happy man!
-------------------------------------------

So who was there?
Frank: some 197bhp (with untuned turbo, tuned would easily reach
240bhp+)
John: around 109bhp
Steve with JR Cold Air Intake: 123,2bhp
Simon: around 109bhp
AJ with engine trouble
WiM (me) with K&N-filter: 123,9bhp

AJ's cars unfortunately failed for the test and couldn't go for the
run, due to engine trouble. Poor AJ, unlucky for the last 3 weeks
with all kind of engine troubles and incompetent mechanics.

All together I did enjoy this day very much. It's worth giving your
car a go one day, just to find out what your engine still does...

Thanks lads,
WiM

There must be a retirement stable in Kildare where they all leap out in the middle of the night and gallop off! BASTARDS!
