I bought this car a couple months ago, and wrestling with problems that I expected, and some I didn't expect.
Dyno shop got a noticeable performance improvement by reaming out the main jets. We played with the timing curve a little bit also. Unfortunately the clutch is contaminated or something and sometimes interfered with torque readings. Now that I've read more about 2366 longevity, I'm not sure I'd opt for it. It sounds great and pulls harder than I'm used to in a 914 though. ![]() |

I noticed you have an additional oil cooler, if you remove these copper pieces that are blocking the air from exiting the fan shroud, your stock oil cooler will work properly. Trust me I've made this mistake before. That air has to escape out the bottom of the shroud (heater ports) for the cooling system to work properly.

Trust me I've made this mistake before. That air has to escape out the bottom of the shroud (heater ports) for the cooling system to work properly. Have to disagree. That is where fan outputs to the heat exchangers. It splits output between the HEs and the larger job of engine cooling. If you pull those caps the pressure will fall in the plenum feeding heads and cylinders. The heads will be the biggest cooling concern at this point. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with worn Concur with the others, take a look at the clutch, fortunately that's a relatively easy job with a helper. For further reference, my 2258 running 44 IDFs dyno'ed at 155 HP at 5000 RPM, max torque 175 lb-ft at 3000 RPM, measured at the crank. What cam and compression are you running? http://www.webcamshafts.com/mobile/automob..._type_4_8v.html Web 494: .465/.465 IN/EX lift in inches .280°/280° IN/EX duration in ° what size valves are in the heads? |
