You’re the “Yoda of the pinto”!👌🏻

Keep up the good work Graham, awesome content 👏👌

Brilliant Graham. Love to see the end results

Another very instructive video - thank you!

That will be a sweet engine for the road. Driveability would be nice low down but yet loads power up to 5000rpm. Perfect for the road

Would have been interesting to have se what the curve would have looked like with a pair of 45's.

Not a great deal different I have run similar spec but on 2.1 on 45’s this has a fatter/flatter bump at the top

Great video, that engine should be very good in the 1st half of the rev range and exciting in the 2nd half.....win as you say 👍🏻😎

Quality content💯

Love the video

Love what you do, keep doing it. Cheers

learning all the time my friend

Nice job Graham, I didn’t expect the RL31 to beat an HT1…

To be fair I don’t think the engine before rebuild was making full use of the HT1 and we are definitely towards the top end of what the RL31 will do.

Hi Graham, love watching your vids. Have you ever done a side by side comparison on simpson vs tony law headers on a dyno run? If not, I would love to see that.. especially considering how expensive simpson exhaust are compared to tony law. Keep up the good work.

No I haven’t unfortunately I don’t own either a simpson or Tony law, and they are just to expensive to buy just for testing purposes

Yeah fair enough. I have a set of tony laws on a n/a yb build. One day I might get a Simpson set-up to compare. Thanks for the reply

thx

👍👍👍👍👍

I'm surprised you didn't go down from the 50 DCO/SP to 48 DCOE to get the airspeed up.

simple answer, customer didnt want to change the carbs

As an Aussie I would love to have an engine built and setup by Graham. Also it would be interesting to see a pinto head built with the David Visard Polyquad idea of having the exhaust set further up in the head so the intake mixture goes over the exhaust on cross over. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X6qNl7xsnqawfLQ.htmlsi=YQsxzJDrVG3S071D

Great build 👌 I suspect my capri 2.0 pinto needs some jetting work as im getting pinking on the top end as you go into the second choke, (standard weber carb) at higher speeds. Do you think bigger main jets would be the way to go?

@PenguinMotors

you dont say if the engine is standard, but for sure, even after just an airfilter and exhaust swap the standard carb needs bigger mains

Hi Graham I have a 1.6 pinto do you ever tune a 1.6 it's what I have in my pop and want to keep it.

@PenguinMotors

Ай бұрын

not done a 1.6 for many years, essentually they tune same as 2.0 EXCEPT you really do need to be careful with cam and carb selection or you end up with a really revy engine which has no torque

That's around the same No's as the best GRP1 on 40mm DCNF's all be it on better fuel. Ign. timing was 36 deg. Not 100% sure if Pipers GRP1 cam was the same as an original Ford item 🤐 😮 torque and RPM were the same No's also. So long ago it's irrelevant now🙂 Referring to your first pull.

Ridiculous ;)

Try bigger chokes

@PenguinMotors

3 ай бұрын

The idea was to make it more drivable not less! Those chokes are big enough for well over 200 bhp

What was the advance curve of the Bestek distributor if it was advanced from 28 deg to 34 deg without having too much ignition advance lower down in the rev range or was it altered to suit

@PenguinMotors

3 ай бұрын

i never expected it to work properly with only 28 degrees advance, you have to start somewhere and you want to start at a safe number which is why i started at 28
