I have a 1.7L motor in my project 914 that needs to be refreshed and I'm thinking of converting it to a 2056 at the same time. This is a somewhat budget build, I'm on a timeline to get it back on the road this summer and as a student there's no way I can justify buying a 9k kit. After looking through quite a few threads on the subject, I'm considering having the case line bored and checked by Tims ACVW in Kent, WA (or maybe there is someone else in Washington State I should consider?). I would prefer to assemble the engine myself if I have time (depending on the rest of the car), otherwise I'll have it assembled.
FAT/Rimco have a 2056 short block kit including pistons and cylinders for $1800 and 1.7L head exchange with 42x36mm valves for $1600. I'm not sure than includes opening the heads up for 96mm cylinders. The FC 442 camshaft looks to be more for carbs, I'm thinking I may want a different camshaft so I can stay with my stock D-jet. Anyone have any experience or input on the FAT/Rimco kit or heads? Is there another option I should consider at the price point?

Sweet, glad you got in contact with Len.
You can use D-Jet for 2056, but you need to use those D-Jet components specific to the 2.0 (versus the 1.7). Some components work for both, but many of them are specific to either 1.7 or 2.0. Then you need to be prepared to tune the MPS slightly to handle increased displacement. Many here have done it, but you just need to be aware of the requirement. Yes, you can use an FI-compatible cam and change out induction systems later (like going to MS or something else). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

What Rob said. Figure ablut 1k for a 2.0 setup all said and done. I didn't realize the 2.0 setup was so different from the 1.7L, if it ends of costing 1k to retain the D-jet than I'll definitely be doing something else. You need to figure out what HP you want. 2056 w/stock FI cam=95hp. 2056 w/Raby 9950 cam =120hp , both with Djet FI I'm hoping for around 120HP, seems to be a great level for the car. |
