so..in the distant future....i will be rebuilding my 71, 1.7 engine, if all goes as planned i will send it to jake, but what can be done to a 1.7, is it as easy to modify as a 2.0?
should i just get a 2.0 block and send that instead......any ideas/suggestions
im looking for about 150 hp and 150 torque, if possible, nothing crazy, i want to keep it as stock as possible in the sense that i want a t-4 that isnt way much higer than 2.0L
you can turn your 1.7 block into a 2.0, but you need the 2.0 crank and rods..........150hp?? must be nice to have $5000 (minimum) to spend on a motor
150/150 is hard to achieve w/o going pretty whole hog down the big engine route. Jake can get that out of a 2270 (well, the 150hp bit, anyway). 150ft/lbs of torque is very hard to do w/o a turbo or building the engine up to a 2.4 or thereabouts. Torque basically scales with engine size (normally aspirated). 150 could very probably be done from a 2.0, but you're looking at a revver motor to get there (hottish cam and lots of port work).
To give you a frame of reference, a 2.4 911T engine makes 140/140, more or less. With a stock 914 gearbox, such a engine will light up the tires in the first two gears. Indeed, even anything past 3/4 throttle in first will light up the tires, even w/o slipping the clutch, and you can make gentle starts in second even uphill. 140ft/lbs is a lot of torque for this car.
well..with a 2056 rebuild from jake..how much torque does that give?
He had dyno charts on his page, but that area's all under reconstruction now. I think in the 110ft/lb range.
Ohhhh!!! I know this one; "it's all in the combination". I think I heard that somewhere...
Build it and they will come-
