hi has anyone got a 1.6 pinto running on bike carbs if so do you know what sort of figures it produces?? ben

im running 2.1 pinto on R1 throttle bodies with MS, fr32 can ported and polished and im expecting about 160bhp when tuned!

With a standard engine and no internal mods, i recon you will be looking at 100 - 110bhp

Just had mine to Bogg Brothers and measured 98bhp (standard is 78bhp for a 1.6 the 2l is 109bhp) at the wheels, pinto 1.6, fast road cam, cb 600 hornet bike carbs.

Quite quick enough for me, just took Paul the 6th out in it tonight, I think he was quite impressed for a little engine.

My cunning plan though is to put on either a duratech or st170 in the next couple of years without a cat. The pinto was purely to get through sva emissions.

Cheers

Rich
