 |
|
Someone gave me a copy of a "Best Geminis" magazine, even tho it came out in 95-96 i think, its not a bad read. Its got an article in there "Kick butt with a 1600 Isuzu" and involves 60 steps to rebuilding ur engine. Including shaving the head 120 Thou, boreing the block, new 1800 isuzu pistons and more.
Heres wat they rekon
RPM Standard Engine After this rebuild
Nm kW Nm kW
2000 152 21 155 22
2500 160 26 200 33
3000 164 30 194 38
3500 168 38 204 46
4000 170 44 198 50
4500 156 48 208 63
5000 204 67
5500 197 74
6000 177 72
6500 170 71
Has anyone seen this article, or even better attempted this? Just wanted to know wat u guyz thought. Its the issue with Pink TC Coupe o the front. Thnx in advance. |
