Subject: WinSU : Need info on overbores etc.
Hello!
My name is Scott Beavis and I've been a regular on the mini and MG lists
over the years. I used to own a 1978 MGBGT, but had to sell it in summer
2003. I also had a rally mini which I had to sell last year after 10 long
enjoyable years of ownership. Got a Mazda MX-5 now, it's great! Fast AND
reliable! ;-) ok, ok, I'll wash my mouth out!
The reason for me subscribing to this list is I'm on the scrounge for
infomation. I am the author of WinSU, the world famous carburettor needle
software, which some of you probably use. I have just released version 2
which is much bigger and better.
Check out the software at http://www.winsu.co.uk
At present it supports minis, MGBs/Midgets, and has a 'generic' engine type
which covers most other engines from 500cc-6L.
What would be useful is some examples of standard and modified engine specs,
with bhp and the needle code you running. WinSU seems to suggest the correct
needle for the standard engines I've tried (Jag, Triumph, AstonMartin, etc)
but I have very little real life data for modified classic cars (other than
Minis).
If any one can help I'd be very grateful.
cheers
Scott
