Mine is the J Reg G - had the suspect boot with new metal work covered in wax oil.

Mods were: lots of porting - airbox, charge, throttle body, head, manifold, but it lacked a map to suit or a chip. and was on stock pulley.

A stock G wouldn't make 122.

I got award for flattest power curve though so something to feel good about even if power is low.

It's on the clubg40 link.

 

Anyone got a recommendation for a mapper?

I've heard good things about Northampton Motorsport who are 15 miles from Santa Pod, but don't know if they do Digifant/ G-lader. 

(no, not vigilant,  windows10) 

 

@Yoof's normally wise on mapping.

it sat at a nice constant 11:1. But a dont think the accelerator pump is pumping enough as there is a massive lean flat spot when accelerating out of a corner

I thought AFR of 12.3:1 was best for N/A and 11 was for boost.

Pierburg's have a Teillastanreicherung, part-throttle-enrichment circuit, that you might be able to upgrade (say from an Iltis type183 according to Ruddies). Or fit bigger idle so it stretches higher up the revs with larger air correction so main starts later. Or back to bike carbs with warm air fed induction box?

More than a year late in this, but I thought it was interesting - why does the grey mk2 have more whp but less bhp than the white breadvan?
Maybe someone has an insight on where is the power leaking out from?

Gearbox losses, tyre rolling resistance, tyre inflation, tread pattern and wear.

Probably not same gearbox, so torque conversion ratio and diff load not the same.

1 litre engine spinning faster for same horsepower, more friction.

(some people suggest synthetic gearbox oil) 

But without the torque curve it's hard to know which feels faster.
