Here it is posted on my forums. You have to register and be granted access if you are not a current member.
This is a hot topic with a multitude of misunderstanding surrounding it. I hope the article answers all the questions that are posted here on the forums and end up being emailed my way for clarification. Feel free to post replies/ reviews here or on my forums, where the article is posted. Jake's 1.7> 2.0 conversion article I am creating a video (DVD) on this topic for more visual aids and better, more thorough information (the article is actually most of my script for the video) |

So how would this compare to an original 6? I am trying to get a reference point for 35% increase in HP. Is it a more nimble 6? Where do you feel the difference?
Regards, James Does anyone in the Bay Area have something like this that I could catch a ride in and experience a 115 HP teener? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) The 2056 is quicker in the low revs as it has more torque there than a six but a six also revs to 6800 rpms with hp so you drive a stock six differently. Longer between shifts as you rev it out . The four you shift at 5000 rpms as thats where the power is...and it feels quicker to me with less engine weight. The stock six has carbs too so its louder and just a different feel but a 2056 with FI (Djet or Ljet) has really smooth power thru the gears..... |
