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? |

Brett,
Thanks for the concern.. Thats the whole reason why I won't be doing ay assembly work on customers engines till the heads are done. The heads will be the turning point for the TIV engine and are definately the biggest thing on my plate now. Work doesn't bother me at all, Hell if I'm not here working I'm just not happy... Its not a job, its a life and I love it. If I didn't I would be back working on Turbines, its easier work and way better money BUT I can't be my own boss nor can I live 50 yards from work. I only work on one project at a time when I build an engine...... its the only way to go. Its to the point now that all I do are the mega monsters above 200HP and I have purposely held off on taking any of those on lately, all those guys are waiting on the new heads anxiously! As for race engines, now that the combos are done, they build almost as easily as the street stuff, the case blueprinting is the only killer.. |
