Can a few of you veterans out there please offer feedback regarding this dynograph?
This is new to me, but I am skeptical here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks! Mike in Munich Attached thumbnail(s) |

Thanks Rich, I reckon you're very right. Nonetheless, I've decided these results and this "situation" isn't quite acceptable for my expectations of what this car was supposed to be and that I will now attempt to organize a ready-to-go / plug-and-play top end package, for which I will now make a separate post, today, under WTB.
Please feel free to make suggestions for what it is exactly that I should include and possible sources, as well as what ya reckon the parts should cost! When finished I will have it back on the Dyno and post the new results. Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) M.i.M. |

I will now attempt to organize a ready-to-go / plug-and-play top end package, for which I will now make a separate post, today, under WTB. M.i.M. Not sure it's that simple, to replace the heads you would need to recheck your deck height, redo the valve train geometry, plus I don't think just replacing the heads will give you the results you want, if you have a stock cam, that will limit you, to change the cam is splitting the case.... If it's a 1.8 built to a 2.0, did they change the crank? If not then it's not even a true 2.0. Not sure who is helping you with your engine building, but I'm surprised there wasn't better communication about what you expected from this motor. If you had a hp rating in mind, they should have been able to come up with a combo to produce that. I'm just wondering if you need to talk with a more experienced engine builder to get what you want, hate to see you throw more money at it only to be disappointed again. Would it be an option to just take the car as is, then eventually have the motor built you want, then swap them and sell the first. Keeps the car driving. Good luck hope it all works out. Jeff |
