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? |

Yeah the key to better engines is to use better technology and who better to look at then Honda. Their stock engines turn some pretty high rpms and they have really long strokes compared to our engines. Be nice to find some cheaper and lighter rods. A narrower journal will allow a bigger radius to be cut on the cheek thus making the stock crank even stronger. Make sure you get your rods so that they yeild a 1.75:1 rod ratio, especially if you come up with some other heads. I am thinking about running a 1.8 crank with a honda journal and a shorter rod to get the engine to make better power up high.
