All get you my jarama vin tomorrow. Anybody see the lamborghini special on Wealth TV. Apparently they featured the Shah's SV and I missed it.
Some of the SVJs are similarly tuned, but we are talking about a very basic tune (bigger main jets, slightly taller cam profiles). The basic components are all SV...
aha that makes things a little clearer. see i always used to to think that was the case. till you said ages ago "svj's use totally standard mechanicals" out of interest what sort of power is 4870 (genuinely) reputed to put out ?
Do you still drive the car to Seaside? I'm there occasionally and if I saw this car parked there I would fall into the ocean. Simply beautiful.
I posted the dyno sheet the day it was born. They factory didn't show horsepower figures but torque figures. I think the original horsepower of 385 was egagerated by that factory but if you equate the increased torque of 4870 to the factory figures it equates to 450hp. I'm not sure of what it's pulling after it's new tuning but it's screaming! I drive an f430 everyday and the car feels crazy fast!!
I was standing next to, and heard, the ex zinc Miura roadster running at Pebble Beach this year. The sound was quite impressive. Joe, do you know what modifications (if any) were done to the engine? Driving around in a friends freshly rebuilt Islero that weekend, I couldnt help but notice the difference.
its a shame the figures stopped at 7000 BHP = torque x revs / 5252 kg m x 7.233 = lb ft 39.5 kg m = 285.7 lb ft @ 7000rpm which if you run the math means 380bhp @ 7000 (and peak torque of 328 lb ft @ 5000rpm)
Aparently you know jack and **** about 1953 in Iran, Mohammed Mossadegh and the CIA coup d`etait. Do yourself a service and read : http://www.amazon.com/All-Shahs-Men-American-Middle/dp/047018549X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235405945&sr=1-2
chaos: They ran 4870 to 8,000. If you look at the factory dyno it 4870 was tuned to a max of 48 kg. Really amazing. And I can tell you the current seat if the pants feel is crazy fast. Raymod: I'll get back to you on the PM For everyone else, if your interested I can post some more historical docs and articles.
whoops, i looked at the wrong sheet. i worked out the figures from this post (which is EM42's Islero) http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=138327528&postcount=114 i'll work out the power if 4870 for real now.
right 48 kg m @ 5000rpm = 347 lb ft power = 423 bhp @ 6500 429 bhp @ 7000 430 bhp @ 7500 (assuming the torque figure ive used of 41.6 is correct, as its not quite clear on the scan) 421 bhp @ 8000 so from that we can see that assuming the dyno was accurate that the peak power is 430 bhp @ 7500 (actually could be slightly more - but we dont have the figures for other revs) 430 bhp @ 7500rpm 347 lb ft @ 5000rpm those would be bl**dy good figures from a 4 litre today (the latest M3 has slightly less than those from a high revving 4 litre V8)
By the way, that is very good news for my Islero! I worked out 6300 figures with the formula you reminded us and I was really impressed: 380 bhp at 7000 rpm is really way beyond stock Isleros' figures. Attached, the graph that I derived from my build sheet. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Forgive the noob-ish question, but I noticed the little "don't shift here!" metal tab on the shift gate is in the lower-right on the Miura, whereas they're in the upper-right on Countachs. Does the Miura have a "standard" shift pattern (first is up and to the left) as opposed to the "racing" pattern (first is left and down) on CTs? BTW, those 1/4 mile times you posted in your Countach are phenomenal!! And your first time on a strip! Well done, old bean! It's not modded at all?
the test times were timed on the drag strip. Original tires. Car was not modded, but it is an extremely well tuned DD, with 455hp.
