A quick shot of Minja on the rollers to check out the cooling system:

Very nice, are you running a twin mini rad setup? What were the power figures?

No dual water radiators. The small, vertical one on the right in the picture (driver's left) is an oil cooler. You can get a better idea of them from the pictures below...

The dynamometer was only used to load the engine during the run so that the cooling system could be checked. No horsepower or torque readings were taken.

Colin is going to have a "Dyno Shootout" sometime soon at KAD, so we will run the figures then. The engine is supposed to develop 147hp @ 10,500rpm. It will be interesting to see how much is lost through the drivetrain and actually gets to the road. From the few times that the car has been out on the road, however, it seems that the power is adequate.
