Still picking up my jaw from the floor. What type of figures is this motor making!? It sounds so good. Also, check out those crazy cool EFI intakes.

Those are JPM's roller throttle bodies. 249 sounds right. I know of another racer that had JPM build him a 1776 that was making slightly less HP with a more spartan setup.
Their 1915 makes about 270.
Imagine if they entered the builder showdown... _________________ "A petrol engine can start readily, run smoothly and give every appearance of being in good order, without necessarily being in good tune." - Colin Campbell, "The Sportscar Engine" |

I'd like to see the dyno sheet on that. RPM's sounded crazy high. _________________ A man with any character at all must have enemies and places he is not welcome—in the end we are not only defined by our friends, but those aligned against us. |

It is a 94x64 1776, not the traditional 90.5x69. From another forum:
Just finished on the dyno with the new 1776, all loaded up now for the long trip home from JPM.
You can see a short video clip on the JPM Facebook page (I tried to put a link here but failed). Peak power at 10k the rev limiter is at 10,700rpm.
So peak power 249.7hp at the flywheel that's 140.6hp/litre 13.2 BMEP. Not to shabby for an old floppy mag cased 2 valve per cylinder pushrod engine. _________________ EMPI Power Rules! |

That is one sweet sounding engine. Here is a nice shot of those throttle bodies.

I'd be interested to know what they are doing to get those numbers out of such small displacement. I imagine the details might be somewhat guarded. |

Here's one: Peak power at 10k the rev limiter is at 10,700rpm.
Nonetheless, impressive to see what can be squeezed out. Practical? Umm...depends. What's your idea of practical? I imagine that cam has some killer duration and lift. Sounds like the running idle is higher than 1k. Wicked sounding. _________________ 2276 IDA's 86C 11-1 DD

I would like to know what he is doing to control the valves. Dan |

I should of said "keep the valves under control" Springs? Valve train weight? |

It's a flat tappet cam.From wat I gathered is that valvefloat limited the amount of horsepower to 249Hp.He had an more agressive cam but it caused misfires.
Did you notice the steel plates attached to the sides of the crankcase?

Kind of sounds like a motorcycle engine or a well tuned Honda Vtec.

Don't know if that's what he used in the engine, but that pic is definitely a roller cam. _________________ A man with any character at all must have enemies and places he is not welcome—in the end we are not only defined by our friends, but those aligned against us. |

Can't question the results but doesn't it seem like that ball valve style of throttle opening would result in some weird turbulence at less than full throttle? _________________ A man with any character at all must have enemies and places he is not welcome—in the end we are not only defined by our friends, but those aligned against us. |

Actually it will result in considerably less turbulence in the manifold.
I did some experiments about 10 years ago with a bullet shaped throttle plate replacement on a plenum style manifold. Others have done experiments as well.
The plume of turbulence created by a normal style throttle plate is actually huge. Typically at high rpm and airflow the throttle plate turbulejce plume length will be 7-10X the throttle plate diameter. The throttle shaft itself at WOT has its own pe uliar rippling turbulence plume.
Nice piece of design in those TBs. Ray
