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? |

HA!
Just fond my conversation notes with Mike Cyphert from 1985! Dave Finch built the motor using 930 turbo 95mm pistons and cylinders, Elgin was the cam manufacturer, Using solexes, and the manifolds were redrilled and moved upward on the heads, that is to Lengthen the inlet tract? or maybe the angle onto the back of the valve, I don't know. Rocker arms magnafluxed every 6 hours of use replace rod bearings every 4 race hours, with mains at every 8. He was not using a dry sump but a wet sump with an extension to the case to hold another 1.5 qrts with an accusump. using a recurved distributor, and a Blue coil?? Yeah thats what I wrote. Typical stuff, flywheel to 7lbs, aluminum PP, solid disc KEP clutch, remove two vanes every four, but that does not seem to calculate to me, so maybe I misunderstood? Exhaust was Finch design 4 into 1, I know Bob kirby has one of these, so does les Handly, But I know this guy Foley, who does a damn nice job, PLUG FOR CFR. That was'nt in my notes. Cyphert has some problems with rocker arm studs breaking, the usual cracking at the spark plug hole. I do not have down what was used for springs or pushrods, but the Finch heads were about 2.5K to reproduce. Hope this helps! Remember, when history is known, mistakes are seldom repeated.
