1600cc “stock” Zetec SE Sigma engine achieves 144 bhp on ‘bike carbs

Chester Sportscars’ JPS liveried J15 Sylva Demonstrator fitted with new unmodified Ford 16v Sigma engine and Fiesta gearbox recently made 144 bhp at its’ inaugural Rolling Road session.

The secret’s in the induction and ignition mapping; the combination of a swept alloy inlet manifold, Mikuni 38 mm choke carbs and a 3D ignition setup which responds to engine speed & load, gives a very smooth power curve , peaking at 6,800 rpm and a big increase in lower & mid range torque compared to the standard induction system.

With Ford specifying 99 bhp standard, this increase of 45% over standard is an excellent result and justifies Chester Sportscars in adding the SE Engine Tuning kit onto their range.

PRESS RELEASE

Announced at the Stafford Kit Car Show September 2010

Click for larger imageClick for larger imageClick for larger image

Chester Sportscars, in conjunction with Sylva Autokits have announced an agreement whereby Chester will offer the Sylva Riot and Sylva J15 mid engined cars both in Comprehensive Self Build Kit and Factory Built Turnkey Form.

The successful owner of Sylva Autokits , Jeremy Phillips, has designed, built and sold car after car which have dominated the 750 Motor Club results board for the last 2 decades.

With the Riot weighing in at less than 500 kg and the slippery J15 only a few kilos more, the engine choice of the Yamaha designed Zetec SE, which can spin up to 8,000 rpm gives the car excellent performance and makes the engine, gearbox and transmission installation ( from a Donor Fiesta Mk 4 /5 ) quite straight forward.

The J15 is available as a Chassis & Body kit for Home Build from £ 5,200.
A Factory built Rolling Chassis & Body needing only engine & gearbox, wheels & tyres, lights, wiring, dials & interior for £ 9,840 or
A Factory Built Turnkey car in a choice of body colours & trim with new engine & gearbox, uprated brakes, IVA Tested & Road Registered under a current New “60” plate for around £ 19,000.

Chester Sportscars are planning to build their own J15 demonstrator fitted with SE engine running on ‘bike carbs or ‘bike Throttle Bodies.

It is anticipated that the additional coverage in the UK will benefit customers in the North West and Border Regions and allow Jeremy to concentrate even more on R & D.
