I picked up this 2.4 six awhile back and I'm gonna use this thread as I develop the engine which will eventually go in my gold car.
I'm starting a little out of order, but too bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) So I have this aluminum flywheel. No manufacturer stamps or numbers on it whatsoever. I'm thinking that it might be too light for a street car, so I may not use it. It's about 3lbs by itself. I've got a 914 clutch adapter (basically a cut down 914/4 flywheel that bolts to the outer edge) and that brings the total flywheel weight to about 10lbs. I want a streetable car, is this thing too light? Attached image(s)

Remember that the factory went to high-butterfly throttles in some of their race motors. I bet that was to allow them nice longer transitions in diameter, plus a longer distance after the injector squirted the fuel into the air stream for it to mix and vaporize.
I think you should go for the longer intakes. Can you do the machining yourself, or do you have to farm it out? --DD |
