    We got a bit busy with some of our day jobs here at SunRock. You may see our chief engineer Danny Soliz on commercials that Ebay motors is airing. CAM Doctor is providing some interesting data. 1982 Plymouth Horizon is closer to being road worthy.

    147HP is sort of far off of 190HP. I don't want to misquote Melvin Ingalls, so I will wait for clarification. He can go on for hours about the testing and the accuracy of a road vs a bag test. But I am pretty sure he said something about which was the more accurate test. Many people sort...

    At the end of the testing cycle of the three runs at SwRI, MPG determined through a city and highway loop and other testing, they did decide to go forward. Money was paid. De Lorean out bid GM. If you take a look at the post from 1APR21 at 2254 or so you will see that no sacrifice was made in...

    I discussed some of this with Mel Ingalls, one of the SwRI engineers and writer of a couple of the reports. The reason you are aware of the shift points is precisely how you know there are no shenanigans. SwRI was there to report everything that happened and how the tests were conducted. The...

    We will not make the run of the Horizon this weekend, but I will be posting some of the Dyno pulls on Sunday. We do, now, have all three tests results, Mar 81, APR 81 and Jan 82. so, we can track progress. Meanwhile, here are some pictures from the testing done in 82 and the DMC on the Dyno.

    Quick update. I was able to track down one of the original engineers that tested the engine in 81/82. Had a great conversation. Meeting with him Saturday. I will keep y'all posted. Still looking at having the car run on the 9th of May.

    We thought we had another clue with regard to the intake manifold, tuned out to be a false lead.

    @Brian Petterson. Spot on on some of your conjecture.

    An engine and fuel system embodying the present invention was constructed and installed in a 1980 Buick Skylark. The vehicle weighed 3,005 lbs, two passengers, full fuel accelerated 0-060 M.P.H. in 9.4 seconds. The mechanical parameters for the engine are listed in Table I. A measured torque...

    @GregLoCock, I am sure we will at some point. Currently our Dyno is a CASREP victim of the thousand year winter event we had a few weeks back. Meanwhile, What's wrong with this for MPG: "A mileage test for the vehicle was conducted using a 133 mile driving loop that included both city and...

    We have five of them. Forensics are being performed on the test engine used for the failed kite version that was being contemplated with Crane. The problem with that one is that it is sort of a frankenstein version. For example the head had plenty of wear and the intakes valves showed the...

    @BigClive: We are duel tracking. We are going to put the original 2.2 back in the 1981 Horizon and run it and modernize the Iron Duke and put it in an S10.

    @Lou I freely admitted at the start of the thread that I am not an Automotive Engineer. Underwater Acoustics, E-Commerce, Automotive Retail Video are more along the lines of my expertise. I came here looking for answers, specifically as to whether contemporaneous Dyno readouts and reports from...

    @Greg: To be fair, that was 40 some odd years ago and carbureted. With current tech, who knows. As far as MPG is concerned, I have not been able to verify 50 or the 54 that I have seen in some places through actual tests or independent reports. What I can tell you is that I have seen the...

    @BrianPeterson: Some insight into the thinking after the Jan 82 test from the summary report: "With the current fuel and emission control systems installed on the engine, it probably could not be made to pass the 1983 California standards. If a three-way catalyst with feedback fuel control...

    Just because you have a patent, doesn't mean it actually works. (I'm not saying Smokey's engine "didn't work" ... just saying, take what it says in a patent, with a grain of salt.) Just because you have a patent, doesn't mean that patent contains ALL the information that you need in order to...
