Yeah all this talk but no proof, come on Matt :lol: .
I would like to see the power figures of say a 1275 with a std head and then the same engine with a conversion on it, I think that would give a fair idea of what to expect :wink: .

Without seeing one, I would be very surprised if the 16V BMW head doesn't double the power of a stock engine.. at least. Volumetric efficiency is where it's all at, the A-series siamese head was a shocker in that department.

There are some finished ones on here: http://www.efiminis.olicentral.com/

I tghink most are seeing 130bhp with ease on a big bore block engine.

I am hoping for 80BHP with my 1062cc K100 8V

well,,, i didnt` dyno our N/A 1360cc one in my road mini, but it did have as much boot in the bum as my roady 1510cc donk, & that was no slouch at nearly 90Hp at the wheels on Bob Romanos Dyno Dynamics dyno

(((Edit--> The N/A Bimmer i am talking about was built as 8.1: comp ratio engine))))

But in saying that, the std 8v road bike in 1000cc form has approx 90hp

The 16v version comes ontop of an 1100cc donk & runs approx 100hp

both of those are std road bikes

Now i`ve turbo injected the one in the moke i`ve been doing & i`m expecting some decent numbers around the 150hp mark straight out of the box (on low boost & should produce over 200hp on high boost),,, & still with std cyl head, valves & cams etc,,, There are a few of these engine allready built & running all over the world now & some of those people have claimed well over 160hp in N/A form, one in particular has recorded over 200hp in turbo form allready & is still climbing with work still to be improved

I`m sorry that i Myself "ME" havn`t dynoed one yet, I really don`t need to yet...but the fact is that the std motorbike figures should allready tell anyone with a brain that there are big numbers to be gained buy adding one of these cyl heads to an A series with more cubes than the std road bike & then add a turbo if you want

there is lots of room for "MAJOR" improvements on the cyl head ports, valves & cams also

Simple physics tells the story,,, You really don`t need "ME" to tell you the obvious,,, do you???

My turbo charged V8 mini isn`t complete & running & dynoed yet either,,,, but do i really need to say that it`s also a little bit faster than a std A series too?????????????

These things are still in their infancy with very few running around the world,,, teething problems & improvements are happening & it won`t be long before someone produces a decent dyno sheet,,, I`m just doing way too many things to focus on one engine just to show people how good they are,,, sorry about that,,, i really do appologise for being so slow to build & tune them... I`ve had my plate full enough just trying to get the kits finished

besides, the surf has been pretty good lately :-)

see you all at the muster & yes i`ll have quite a few Bimmer Twinky kits with me ready for sale

Edit---> the kits are ready now,,, Who wants one????
