In the fact you have 1.6 16V daewoo e-tec engine (A16DM) with lower stroke... The bore is the same, only shorter stroke... That engine block and the head is the same one I had stock in my daewoo lanos sport 1.6 16V.. Only the crankshaft and conrods are different (from 1.5 litre engine)...nexia182 wrote:im talking about 290 hp at the wheels!!!!!!!!
i get almost 300hp with an excellent preparation of the engine and also programable ecu, remeber my engine is a G15MF from opel Kadett E (astra mk2), is a very powerfull engine, and im using a 16v head from ecotec gsi engine 1.6L.
bigger its not better always................
I was asking what pistons and conrods you have, because I have fried one piston already on lower boost on pistons that are made for turbos... And you want to say you are putting all that boost on stock 1.6 16V A16DM pistons?! That is the puzzle to me... How can you do that without frying them... Probably the water injection helped cool down the piston heads... Or you have forged pistons and conrods?
With some forged pistons and conrods and ARP screws and some GT30 or similar, 2.0 litre engine is capable of doing 600HP... With water and oil cooling over 600Hp... But on stock pistons and conrods, C20LET can do max of the max 400HP on water...
Anyway, 300 wheel horse power is about 340 brake horse power on the flywheel.. If you have F16 gearbox...
