This one looks a little odd.
That's because someone squeezed it into an Elva Sports Racing chassis that used to run with a Lotus twin cam engine.  |

What carbs are those?
I have never seen such large secondaries/velocity stacks whatever those are. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I would love to know what it takes to get 200 HP out of a 2L type IV. I was commenting on another thread recently with Jake about breaking the 100 hp/L mark, and I didnt think it could be done with a type IV. Greater than 200hp in a type IV, sure, but I assumed huge displacement. |

Greater than 200hp in a type IV, sure, but I assumed huge displacement. Its actually easier to reach 100HP/ liter with a smaller T4 engine. I've built several 200HP 2 liter engines in the past. They are absolutely worthless below 5,000 RPM, though. I have a 71X95 now that makes 200HP, I just need to get it on the dyno and decide what to do with it. |

I had a car that could not get on the trailer until well over 5k revs... so, while it may make lots of HP, its not drivable in normal situations. rich |
