Is it true that there is apparently 2 versions of the AX GT, an 80bhp one and 110bhp or something round that mark one.
If so which one is yours? |

Hmmm thats the sort of course i should have done.
Still, at least I will have an engineering qualification, and all the benefits/respect/money that come with it. Er... no hang on, wait a minute... Oh thats right... you get NONE of those from being an engineer. |

it was 85BHP standard, but it is fair from that now (standard i mean!)!!
we've used a head off a VTR (45% better flow as standard the AX head), which has been fitted with 40mm inlet and 36mm ex valves, and gasflowed
40mm T.B's
Emerald managment
CR is 12.5:1 (with help of forged pistons)
max.power RPM is around 9000RPM!! (sounded absolutly mint screaming at 8200, cant wait to get to 9k!!)
*edit* and tuned length exhaust manifold |

we did our NA base map yesterday using truly crap bodged inlet and exhaust manifolds and made 65BHP
our proper manifolds and exhaust (still being made) should get that up a bit. Should be able to hit 14000 RPM, which we cant quite get as it is now.
Then comes the Turbo weeeeeee |
