Expected 0-60
Any one give me a rough guide of what 0-60, top speed and BHP to expect out of the following 7.
Pinto 2.0 (rebuild with almost all new internals)
Piper 285 cam, Twin Dellerto 40's, Electronic Ignition (Fast Road Setting on the Electronic Amp) Diff is out of a J Plate 1.8 Sierra. Type 9 5
Speed Box.
I am sure i should of asked this question before i started building. :-)
Cheers
Ash

about 5 and a half to 6 and a half seconds to 60 as for top speed I presume it will start to slow down at 120mph but trickle on for perhaps another
15mph so 135

No that's probably fair to say at that level of tune.

I wont go above 90mph in mine as its just not comforable at that speed.
my 0-60 is about 5-6 seconds with a 1.8 turbo, the problem i have is traction.

Under 4 secs with my VX XE engine (just over 200hp), need to time it properly with datron but deffo sub 4 secs.
traction not a problem on yoko a048r's on 14" wheels and soft rear springs.

Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion

lol
Really must get on and time mine. I think I am heading to a rwyb in the near future, but one of the issues is transmission parts failing!
I thought the lack of traction associated with 7 type cars would save the transmission, but I don't seem to suffer from the expected levels of
wheelspin!
So far its 1 x 100mm "lobro type" CV joint failure (brand new one) but I fear the gearbox could be the next bit to start crying

Best ask Vauxhall - it's their published figure.

Although they haven't gotten to the point of failing (replaced first) I've killed a diff and a type9 in a year.

Probably cost about £1500-2000 for the parts.
A friend did the head work and I did the final assembly.
P.S. I don't keep track of the cost cause it would scare me!

How do you manage the gears - I found that 1st is so short you need to use third to get to 60.
I could get to 60 in second if I reved the nuts off it, but then 1st and 2nd gears are so different the syncro mesh won't let you into 2 until
the rev's drop and then you lose more time.
Mine was a standard Pinto and was around 6.5-7.0 sec's, really impressed if a Pinto can be tuned to lose 2 sec's from this.
