DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Lol, which I'd seen this thread earlier - lots of info here that would have helped me over the last few months with my engine rebuild decisions.

The new engine sounds great James!

Yeah, I'll be happy if mine starts, idles and runs well - anything else (50mpg would be nice) is a bonus

I phoned around for mine and found Heritage the best. Ta for the tip - just insured mine with them now. Cheapest and also the most helpful of the ones I'd tried (I spoke to Oliver whose DDI is 0121 246 6063). Insurer is KGM - limited mileage, but also included unlimited trackday cover (not needed b...

Nice results there Mick. What spec engine was that with?

Could almost do with a separate thread of specs/graphs for these although I know it's not usually helpful comparing dyno results.

Thanks James, that's very useful. Amazingly similar profile!

Where are you up to with the new engine build btw?

Would certainly be interesting to see yours if you can locate it James.

Hopefully the car will finally be back with me tomorrow! New gear stick to fit at the weekend.

Here's the graphs from the run. Would be interesting to compare to other people's results on Bob's rollers if anyone has any they'd be willing to share?

Yep, original cylinders just rebored. Will be time to finally meet up soon!

Payment sent!

It's a standard T with first overbore, E cams and Omega high compression pistons (should be same as your new ones), new PMO's, new bearings etc. and ARP studs/conrod bolts and SSI heat exchangers. To be honest, I just expected a little more torque and power over a standard T - didn't really do any o...

great headline figure! Would be good to see the graph Will post the graph once I get it. Hopefully it won't just be one massive spike at 8000rpm with nothing at all under 6000rpm.... Might be worth asking Bob if he's got the original graph; most dynos have auto storage so it might still be in the m...

So I've just been told that they got a corrected 202bhp out of it on Bob's rollers! Way more than I was expecting.

Waiting on a copy of the graph now....

Unfortunately not although you've just reminded me that I think Alan (Canford) took it to Bob's just prior to selling it to the guy who owned the car before me so I guess there are some results somewhere (not in any of the documentation that I've got though). Compression was down on a couple of cyli...

I'm feeling like an expectant Dad again waiting for my car's rolling road result following its engine rebuild - it's at Bob Watson's at the moment...
