Title: Exotic Cars Quarterly Spring 1991 Post by: Richard Fridd on 20 April, 2013, 05:52:39 PM Article which I haven't seen before http://www.oocities.org/motorcity/Garage/2068/vignale_nardi.htm
Title: Re: Exotic Cars Quarterly Spring 1991 Post by: the.cern on 20 April, 2013, 09:49:32 PM Richard, that is a great story about a couple of very interesting cars, well done on turning it up !!!
Andy PS Did I understand those power outputs correctly, I understood that a standard 2.5l B20 engine with a twin Nardi conversion puts out 190bhp, whilst the same engine but with a single carb on a Nardi inlet manifold produces 140bhp. I understand the standard Lancia set up produces 118bhp. Those are remarkable increases for such minor modifications. Is anyone able to comment please ? Andy Title: Re: Exotic Cars Quarterly Spring 1991 Post by: DavidLaver on 20 April, 2013, 09:58:02 PM 118 is the factory quote for the SIII and SIV. 130 was the figure that used to be mentioned for with the twin carbs and a good racer perhaps 150 but with terrible fuel consumption and no torque. I don't know if anyone has had one on a rolling road. I was surprised at the 160 mentioned in Richard's other article, and also about the Nardi heads. David |
