The 21 engine

Postby Tony Smith » Tue Jan 11, 2005 4:16 pm

I've seen alot of 21 T's on the rollers and its extremely rare for a car to make over a genuine 240bhp. There were a few about with 2.2 conversions using the crank from the 25GTX and a 12 valve one too but I don't know if these are still running. With cams, bigger turbo and all the usual bits you change, and running ALOT of boost (20psi plus) you can get into the high 200's - I haven't ever seen one over 300bhp without NOS. But there are a surprising amount of people running gas on them now. They do make massive torque though. They need to rev better to make more power. Salv Sacco has built naturally aspirated 2 litre multivalve engines making over 200 bhp on webers so it would be intersting to let him build something similar with the 8v head and turbo.
