(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Type4 for any knuckle heads prepairing wise cracks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Based on the 1.7 1.8 bottom end, 96 P&C's and appropriate wrist pin height.

Any one running one? What are you impressions compared to a Stock 1.7, 1.8, 2.0?

I've got one on Dell 45's with some high-lift cam. It kicks bottom. Easily as quick as a 2.0 six.

I ran one for several years in a bug. Nice motor for the money. Don't overcam - I ran a webcam 86a, which may have been a little much. 86 would have been better. I'll bet the type4store has a split duration cam just for this app too...

A 1911 is a torquey mofo. According to the dyno graphs for my engines, the 1911 (with carbs) is nearly identical to a stock 2.0, but has better low end torque and better top end. Good stuff.

That makes me wonder if a stock 2.0 isn't running as efficient as it should be (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Probably.

Theoretically the stock 2.0 should have a better bottom end as it has a longer stroke and the 1911 a better top end because of the larger bore.

a 1911 shouldnt have more torque, it should spin faster and free-er do to the small stroke....

like a 2.0 six vs a 2.7.

shortstroke screamers....

Thats what i meant, should explained it better. I figured the 1911 would have better top end HP (especially with carbs and 2.0heads) sorta like you said.

big stroke = torque
small stroke = rev happy

right?

The 1911 I'm looking at makes more torque down low because of the cam. I'm comparing a 1911 with a carb cam to a stock cammed 2.0. In this case the 1911 makes better low end and better top end.

Looking at a non-stock cam 1911 vs a non-stock cam 2056 you will get a torque advantage on the 2056 and a top end advantage on the 1911. But even that depends on the cam you choose.

Basically, I say, expect a 1911 to be nearly identical to a stock 2.0. Especially if you use stock D-Jet.

Since I have a 1.8 left over from a conversion I'm interested in this thread, but I'm confused. Are you saying one can get 95-100hp from a properly cammed & carb'd 1911 w/2l heads?

This is Jake's dyno graph of a carbed 1911. See for yourself. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
