For those who haven't discovered it yet, there is a very interesting thread on Dave Jacksons new Hellier Performance built 1900cc K -series on Blatchat. "245bhp @ 7795 rpm, 173ft/lb torque @ 6731rpm on Emeralds rollers. The power band is fantastic with more than 163lb torque available from 5400rpm through to 7800rpm. An yet it still has 140 lb torque at 4200rpm . With the airbox fitted we only lost 2bhp at peak and 3bhp at 5500rpm , but gained significant power and torque below 5000rpm owing to the pulse effect inside the box " "Using the 6 speed gearbox I will be able to change up at 7900rpm through the last 3 gears and not fall below 225 bhp whilst riding a crest of torque of between 173lb and 165lb " Thread can be found here:- www.blatchat.com/t.asp?Id=75314

Thanks Steve - and yes, been following that too... The new engine sounds very very impressive... want one! But other plans preclude that avenue of development...
