basically all the fast runners out there whether it be 1L or 1.2L
just wanted to know how they did their engines whether it be turbo or N/A with other mods etc.

I had my standard MA10 with twin webers (36DCNFs) that was ok...
But then i got this:
MA12 engine
Ported and Polished head
3 angle valve seats
50 Thou head skim (165 psi to 205psi)
Lightened and balanced bottom end
Lightened and balanced flywheel
Twin 36 DCNF carbs
Custome inlet manifold
Piper racing cam
oil pump mod
4-2-1 exhaust manifold
Full stainless steel 2.5" exhaust system
~100bhp
0-60 = 7 seconds
Top speed = 125mph
Kept up with my almera gti, mazda 3 sport, 306 gti6 etc
Was pretty fast, and i think it would have ran into the 14s on the 1/4 mile...

awesomeness! thankyou! (Y)
Shame you never ran it! Ambitious time though, even the ST's do 14's and they have more power as standard.

I know, i really want to get another K10 and do the same to see what it would have done...
It was amazingly quick for a 1.2, shocked alot of people

If you really want the power i had you need to find out where those twin webers are on this club...who has them??? lol
The ring Dave walker, PM bobsp16 for his number
Dave can build + Supply the engine i had, but at a big cost
Considering its £500 to rebuild an ma12 with new gaskets etc, so with all parts supplied and built your looking at loads...

And I'd agree with you 100% that you would take it to the cleaners(Y) cant beat power to weight
Well unfortunately for you lot lolol, a certain thing called wind resistance.. power to weight is all very well, but as speed increases power to weight means less and wind resistance means more, even more important when really were talking small amounts of power i.e. 100bhp or so.
Car 'A' would destroy car 'B' in a straight line top speed race if they had the same air resistance but car A weighed twice as much car B but car A had twice as much power, and both had same power to weight ratio.
Also, I doubt you could get a K10 down to 400kg and still have it road legal. ST with all the trim taken out weighs 700kg with half a tank of fuel. The engine and gearbox probably weigh about 60 MAX kg more than a stock MA10 most likely less.
So say normal stripping out would get you to 600 without a driver if your lucky on a stock K10.
Where would you find the other 200Kg to remove from? no Glass/fibreglass panels etc? even then it would be a mission and pretty hard to see that as possible to be honest.
