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 |

And if you install an engine manufactured by another car maker, you'll need to appropriately alter the emblem-lettering on the lid above the engine too.
Put in a rice-burning WRX motor? Then replace the emblem's ending "E" with "ARU" Put in a fuel-chugging Chevy V-6? Then the "E" ought to be replaced with "EV" or "ETTE" Went with a spinach-burning Ford-Power V-8? Then swap out the "E" with "ORD" Etc... And prepare to stop telling people that you drive a Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |
