Thanks for the input Rohan.
Unfortunately I don't have uncorrected data other than peak values of torque and BHP.
As I understand it most rolling roads apply an algorithm to standardise readouts across a wide variation of ambient temps and altitude and as you say this at best is somewhat crude. Also I am not aware if this is an accepted practise which all adhere to. It would be crazy for each dyno manufacturer to come up with their own take on this
(but I suspect they do)
Just to say this is an Europa not an Elan...Though I would kill for a nice Sprint DHC
Not sure if transmission losses are similar, I would have thought there is not much in it.
The engine feels great on the road (I haven't tracked it recently) But it really wants to rev. I hear conflicting advice on RPM limits on the standard crank. Which brings me to another question, would I benefit or indeed lose out if I stroked this engine to a 1700cc bottom end? I have an old crossflow block (2737e) which I could line bore and fit steel caps with a new steel crank, but would I be better off machining the steel crank into my original lotus block?
This is something I have been contemplating for many years to give more bottom and midrange torque, but I'm loathe to give up the revvy feel of the 72mm crank!
