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? |

Yes Finch and I have talked on occasion and he has shared some of the same info. If you want it to live leave the wet sump for the weekend warriors. Dry sump is the only way you will eak out the last few HP and have goo survivabilty. When Blake meridith was running EP/FP he was changing rod bearings every race weekend. The 2.0 litre is a lot harder on bearings. I also have a picture of the Finch 4-1 header. Good heads are not cheap and are the key to unlocking hidden power.
I have a semi legal way to get better airflow with the windsheild removed, but I am not really open to sharing since I am going to use it on my car and can't share all of my secrets. It only works with the windsheild removed though. Everyone tells me the Solexs flow the best but they have a "huge hole" off idle. At least in GT you can run FI. Yes i know the 914-4 will never, ever be competetive in GT3 Nationally. Hard to run against a Toyota Atlantic motor turning 10k. I will though be agreaet car for me to get my license in and mess around with regionally. It can win here regionally. Kevin email me off line as I would like to discuss your modeling of the suspension. Did you use CATIA? Since that is what your company uses right? (guessing on which company you work for). Yes the driver will be key here. Even if you have to yeild the seat to a better driver at least the 914 is back where it belongs, IN THE WINNERS CIRCLE. |
