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? |

FYI,
I'd be willing to cover alot of the R&D if the right car and driver wanted to work with me on it.. I have several FP combos and I think that an EP car would be a great thing to work with. It don't bother me to totally start from scratch with development, and we don't have to win or even go to the run offs for me to be happy. I would love to put a DTM equipped EP in the class just to piss people off and chase the sixes. After all, its a tax writeoff for me! Brett, Thanks for the words on the new parts I'm working with. I currently have two projects that I'm finishing for customers and after those I'll be taking atleast a year away from motor buildin' to create an emphesis on the development of the heads, creating cam grinds to compliment the heads, perfecting the TI DTM, getting my 911 cooling system up and going and etc... With more and more guys wanting my "super hero" engines I need to create more combos using them and make them as standard as a 2270... |
