So, there are some big changes coming in E-production (SCCA) to "equalize" the competition. In 2005, the 914-4 2.0L runs at 1870 pounds with driver.
Is anyone thinking of switching from FP to EP and using a 2.0L now that the 914 has lost 50 pounds? As you may have guessed, I'm considering it. Since I have 2-2.0L engines and no 1.8s, I'll be starting in EP anyway. But, I'm on the 4-year plan to get competitive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) , so it really doesn't matter immediately. I know they used to be competitive in EP. Anyway, there have been some posts about the horsepower a FP 1.8 can make. Any thoughts on a 2.0L? |

Thats one of the bearings that I plan on running. The 40mm journal will make it possible to also stuff bigger strokes in with less issues.
I already have Carrillo working on the rods, and when they are done and its all working I plan on having the design made into a standard H beam with a 22mm pin that can be bought for around 275 bucks.... I will be running these rods and journal in my 3.0 engine, I already have the crank made with the 40mm journals... The VW engineers were high when they made the rod 800 grams with a bolt that won't hold a 400 gram rod at any decent revs. No wonder the stock EFI shuts you down at 5500 like a switch.... I'm thinking that the Honda journal may be a huge key to even a better bottom end in the TIV engine, the crank maker thought I was high when I told them what I was running for a journal on that 86 stroke crank. The small journal will change the overlap on the crank, but the TIV crank is so tough that I tghink we'll be just fine... For a high revving shorter stroke engine it really would be sweet....and still even stronger. |
