Okay well if you insist.
Take a 1.7 or 1.8L, I would try and find a 1.8L, bore it out the jugs to 96mm run a set of keith black pistons, and build a nice 1911, they are great little engines. Run a nice microsquirt or Megasquirt system on them. For an easy system I would use the 1.8L side intake with the Vanagon TB. Add a set of 1.7L rockers with 911 swivel feet adjusters and a good cam, and go from there. If you feel like spending dollars, get yourself a Tangerine Racing EVO Header and muffler, works of art and proven to make Horspower, well worth the $$$. I had one and just sat it on the bench and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) at it for days on end. Really cut into my productivity. I have also used a Kerry Hunter, a home built unit, stock stuff. Tangerine was the best value once you look at the quality verses the price. You can spend some serious coin on a type-4 engine build. |
