I never understood this group 1.5
This car is running a 48IDA in group 1 http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-for...-89317987.html |

What power, torque and rpm would a front-running Gp1 engine be capable of?

Hi there! What a thread. Just for Greg Cozier, in appendix K rules, the allowed carbs are the Weber 40DGAV or the DFI 5 (Capri II and III, Essex 3.0). Homologation form says the minimum diameter of the DFI venturi is 32 while appendix says you're not allowed to increase air flow. Butterflies diameter should remain at 40 mm, a natural restrictor. My engine pumps around 196 horse power around the 5 K mark. Max revs seems to be 7 000 but we use it at 6 200 max to keep it in good shape and spare some gazoline during one hour runs.
A friend a mine took care of Ford France Capri, french Production rules, driven by Charles Cevert. He believes the engine could pump around 215 horse power but can't remember which carb was used. You could learn more about racing Capris reading Jeremy Walton's book. He wrote about screamers engine capable of 8 000 rpm. Obviously those were the days and he doesn't specify displacement while the carbs were probably 48 IDA. From what i've been told, you could have comparable dyno sheets with one single 48 or 3 X 40 DCNF. Turning the carb by 90 ° is a good idea but totally illegal, the intake manifold's picture in the 5336 homologation form is clear. The DGAV is very user friendly, good midrange torque, while the DFI is more brutal and likes to be driven pedal to the metal. Hope this helps, sorry for the language, I'm french ya know ! |

The 'screamer's built by Neil Brown were at the very end of G1 in the UK in 1982 and only available to 2 teams in the effort to stem the Rover onslaught.
It is possible that one or two Eurp guys received one but I do not know. |

CC
Hi Everyone. I was wondering if anyone had a CC Racing Capri for sale, in any condition as I have a serious enquiry for one. I built the original cars with my partner Pete Clark, who is no longer with us.

These cars are very rare as I am sure you know too well! A chap called Ade Vickers had CC3, (Jeff Allam's first CC Capri?) He used to race what was left of it in North West Sports saloons. I know he was looking to sell it a couple of years ago as a restoration project and used to post on here sometimes. You could find him using the members search facility. I'll ask him too. Hope that helps to start off with? |

Chunterer, bet Dave Cook will get thousands of question before finding one answer… Prepare him to learn that around 200 CC were made!!
Dave I'd try to contact Christophe Van Riet from GIPIMOTORS in Belgium (gipimotor.be). Him and Raphaël de Borman race in Peter Auto HTC series what seems to be an authentic Belga car (group 1 B with an IDA). You could also try to reach the Musée de Stavelot or Pierre-Alain Thibaut former boss of Francorchamps (he's racing in Grp1, Capri's and Commodore's). During your quest, maybe you should prepare yourself to find many replica or some genuine car the body shell was replaced so no more Leichtbau. I guess you do know the Whitegate Garage's owner in Stockport. |

dcrs, the Belga car (replica or not?) I was referring to has been pictured by duel post # 603 of this thread.
The best would be to reach Peter Mallet on this forum or through his website, he certainly is THE Capri specialist here. Another option would be to have the list of http issued by different ASN (MSA or FFSA) for Capri 3.0 (probably group 2) and try to contact their owners. |

Gerard, Raphael's is a very nice replica. James Vickers has CC13 which is an original but rebuilt Belga car.
I strongly suspect Dave Cook still has a great many contacts within Race Prep and old customers but needs a bit of help in finding a car. It maybe that a few have cars stuffed away but don't realise what hey've got! It's getting to the point where people will need to hire private investigators to locate stuff before authentication. |

In response to earlier posts #604 & 605, my Essex (although not to Grp1 regs) made around 300bhp and happily revved to 8200rpm, only issue I ever had was the block cracking in the same place as the GAA's did. I used an IDA which I bored to 50mm. 3x DCNF's wouldn't make the same outright power, as the single 40 or 42mm throttle per cylinder is too small. |

I understand that there were three CC Capris testing at Goodwood on Friday last week. An original Autosport car, a Belga car (James Vickers) and a Gitanes (Ric Wood) car.

Peter and Sarnie and of course others who know, do you think its possible to build a car as good as were the CC ones nowadays?
Of course at the same specifications and apart from the lightweight body. |

I couldn't begin to suggest that anyone can beat the experts. I think if you speak to Rafael he'll give you an idea as to what effort is needed.

Thanks Peter I got the picture. I didn't mean I expect to challenge the drivers, hope this is clear. I had a look to Raphaël's car while at P Ricard. The Chase Gardener's is very well built too (DCNF's not IDA).

Yes but you can't run triple webers in Group 1B/1.5. You can if built to French Spec.

Thanks to you again, I found the slightly larger calipers homologated in Grp1, seems they are from a Granada MKII/ III 2.8 i. I keep my car appendix K/ J form # 5336 compliant at the moment, so DFI 5 only. The straights are sooo long.
I had a look to Sarnie's driver's file, very impressive. |

An Alan Mann prep based on a road going shell has been sold almost 89 K£ at RR, good history file. Probably a Grp 1,5 (Holley carb I think). Cant understand why the Perana didn't go (auto gearbox may be).
