Re: [DML] Performance PRV Pics Uploaded

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's a photo of a Ferrari replica made by a company called NF Autos 
who are about 5 miles from my house. It's based on a simple 2.6 odd-fire 
with triple webers which were standard on Alpine A310 race cars (hen's 
teeth) and the Talbot Tagora (!). Thoese weber setups change hands for 
over £500 / $1000

A good friend of mine had a GTA Atmo with triple webers and the thing 
went like the wind, however was dynoed at only 160hp at the flywheel. 
The torque was what set that engine apart. It also only got 13mpg and 
the throttle was like an on-off switch. We're in the middle of getting a 
3 litre even fire from a Renault Safrane running in that car after the 
triple weber engine blew up. That engine puts out 170hp as standard 
before the addition of his existing free-flow 21" headers and 
aftermarked remapped ECU.

THE TRANSMISSION IS GOOD FOR 300FT-LBS TORQUE AS STANDARD.
