I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on the 2270 engine kit from the Type 4 store. I'm curious if anyone knows what the difference between the kit and the Raby 2270 SR. I see they each have different HP specs. Do we think this is an actual difference or just a difference in written spec? Same cam? Same Heads? Curious if this kit can make better HP than 140? Headers? Other tested and ordained cam?
I'd appreciate any input based on experience, Best, Alex |

Thanks all for the confirmation that we think the kit is made up of some different components than the turnkey motors. I'm just trying to sort out the best path. Seems like if you take a 2.0 add headers, twin carbs and a hotter cam that this would get things up to 125hp or so. The kit feels like a lot of investment for another 15HP. I'm wondering if the kit can be pumped up by a yet hotter cam and with headers? Is there 160hp in the kit there to be extracted? Any experience with this? I'm assuming that the key difference between the kit and turn key is cam and heads?
Thanks, Alex |

It's possible to reach 180 streetable hp in a 2270 with the right components. I have one in a customer 914 here right now. It wasn't built using one of the Type 4 Store kits but the builder copied their parts combination to the best of his ability. However, that specific combination may not be one of the kits offered at this time. I believe the output numbers on the Type 4 Store listings are conservatively based on the builder not having a tuned header. I also think some of the specific parts info may be transposed between two kit listings, adding some confusion. |
