Assuming he's not hoofing bs around....
He's claiming 200bhp per tonne on a 900kg car so we're talking 180bhp tops. About the only 1.6 I can think of that gets moderately close is the old Honda Civic CRX 1.6i-16v VTEC which pushed out a solid 150bhp in standard trim. Technology should have moved on but I reckon he's more likely to get 180 at the crank and closer to 160 at the wheel. An engine builder will need to confirm if that's possible. About the 106 MAXI. It may only show 210bhp but are you sure there are no air restrictors on that motor? Most classes of motor-sport, especially rallying, have air-restrictor rules to try and keep each class competitive. In GT racing unrestricted motors could easily put 100-200+ hp more. Oh yeah one last note on engine size vs bhp. When the FIA performed one of its many changes to the engines rules in GT racing in the mid-seventies Porsche took up the challenge to beat them at their own game. The rules said 4.0ltrs or 1.5ltr Turbo (simplified for our purposes here). Porsche as you can imagine went the way of the turbo and produced the 935 Moby-Dick (whale tail doncha know) armed with a full 450bhp motor. It won unsurprisingly and that was almost 30 years ago! Now if only I could fit that under the bonnet of my motor........ ![]() 1 : Q9450 | 2Gb PC8500 DMX | P5E-WS Pro | HD2900XT | 2 x 750Gb (RAID1) | DVDRW | Corsair 650W TX | CM 590 | 2x VP171s-2 2 : X2 4200+ | 2Gb PC3200 | A8N-SLI Premium | 6600GT | SonicFury | 8x 250Gb (2x RAID10) | 3Ware 9650SE-8LPML | DVDRW | Seasonic 700W | Stacker 830 | 2x VP171s-2 3 : Sm 3100+ | 1Gb PC3200 | K8N-E Deluxe | 9800 Pro | 4 x 250Gb Maxline III (RAID10) | DVDRW | CDRW | Tagan 530W Easycon | ATC-201B-BXT Black Widow 4 : XP 2600+ | 0.75Gb PC2700 | K7NF2 RAID | 6600GT | 160Gb + 120Gb | DVD | 350W | Centurion | W : Dell Precision 690 | Intel X5355 | 4Gb FBDIMM | Quadro FX3450 | 2x 146Gb 15k SAS (RAID1) | DVDRW | DVD | 2x 2007FP
