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? |

Once the rods are completed the lengthys are easy to change. The specs of the big end are the most tedious for side clearance and running clearances.... Length is easy to change, but would call for an order to Carrillo if it isn't 5.100, 5.325, 5.400 or 5.500 as those are what we are going to be having made. almost all my combos now use a 5.325 or 5.400 rod length at the present. I'm sure the big daddy heads will change that some.
The Ricardo rule of 1.76:1 rod ratio is great for alot of applications, but I have found some engines to like longer or shorter rods according to the application. I have already taklked to my crank grinder and we can make the 40mm journals from a 2.0 crank easily, but will have to relocate the oiling passages much like we do when running a chevy journal, or a de stroker down to 62-64mm. I should have it running in the next month or so, as soon as the rods are done. with Honda rod journals, and a 4.137 Nascar piston size- this should be interesting... |
