im thinking of building a caterham 7 kit car and i spotted a turbo II beater for sale for $2000 and thought it would be a nice donor car. Whats the HP/TQ of a stock one?
-Zach |
87-88 is 182hp
89-91 is 200. torque is around 180 / 200 as well |
plenty of power for a car that'll weigh 1300lbs with me in it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
thanks |
ive got my dyno chart right here in front of me for my 87 turbo 2
now note that this is an old motor (compression is starting to suffer and hard to start) 122.6 HP at 6900 RPM 128.5 lb/tq at 4000 RPM this is a stock motor with the HKS 50mm catback and the stock airbox with NO filter in it the power rose greatly when i had the injectores cleaned and blue printed but i dont know the actuall numbers |
yeah im def going to rebuild the engine myself so thats why i asked for stock HP #'s....buying the WHOLE car for $2k pretty much screams blown engine.
|
Why do you need a parts car for a kit car? Is the caterham an RX-7 replica?
|
caterham 7 is the super 7, lotus sold it to caterham.
|
i think hes mainly looking for the engine
ya my engine is gonna be needing a rebuild here real soon |

haha ya try owningthe car that everyone told you should be around 180 HP
although this was a mustang dyno and the guy running it Mike Ancas (wrote a book on 7s) said that mustang dynos read 10-15% lower than a other dynos but he said that he thinks that his numbers are a close to right as possible p.s. the guy is hugly knowledgabe and a great driver in solo I and solo II racing if you want more info on his book let me know ill get it |
