'Ow do?! Just checking in. Computer simulation work still ongoing. Got the measurements I needed for the Twin Plenum. Am now trying to refine the exhausts (doesn't everyone have a set of SD1 manifolds sitting by their PC?). Also trying to model frictionless ports, the idea being to simulate the port...

Under Group A regs valves should have been standard size but I decline to comment on whether they were!

Gp. A

Yup, I'm WAVE-ing (or possibly drowning!). Not getting on too badly with it but model is still fairly basic as yet. I think it gets a whole load more exciting/infuriating as you start to attend to the details; friction, burn characteristics etc. Can definitely recommend having a crack at it though, ...

depends on whether you want what was supposed to be in the engines or what was actually in the engines! You're not insinuating there may have been underhand tweakery going on are you?! :lol: Seriously though, at the moment the engine is staying legal. I think the the slightly wild power figure was ...

Lot of useful info and contacts re the racing Rovers on here http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81326 Cheers for the link. Unfortunately this thread seems a bit short on tech info but its still damned interesting; I'll be back to read it just for fun once the project is out of the way...

I am currently doing a University project which involves, amongst other things, creating a computer simulation of the Group A Rover Vitesse touring car engine. As such I am trying to find information about the internal dimensions and specifications of the engine, particularly the Twin Plenum inducti...
