Just found this on the Lotus BBS bulletin board, independ test of the PTP 165 Cylinder head conversion.

Just got back and am pleased to say it broke the 160 barrier.

163bhp @ 6523rpm
140 lbft @ 4623rpm

Nice thing was the torque curve; 120lbsft @ 3500rpm, 140lbsft @ 4623rpm and 138lbsft @ 6000rpm. Nice and flat.

Quite pleased with that. Exhaust manifold is blowing which couldnt have helped either.

Biggest surprise was Robs car though. He has a 160 head, cat pipe, ebd manifold and sports exhaust. Everything else is standard - including airfilter,
cams and ECU. He made 146bhp @ 6600rpm and a whopping 143lbsft @ 4560rpm. Fantastic!

So finally we have independent figures for the PTP conversion - and yes it does what it says on the can.

Now to get my throttle bodies on and the Emerald ECU is on order....

cheers
