My boss owns a 1.7 914 with a single carb. He is looking for a little more zip.
I forgot to ask year. I suggested going to a dual weber set up and maybe a better exhaust to add a few pony's. Any one up that way with a shop that can help him out.. He is not that good with a wrench!! Greg |

First step - make sure all tune is up to date - points, plugs, condensor, timing etc. Then.. yeah, a Dual carb set up might be cheaper than restoring the FI at this point, but to make more power means opening up the engine to at minimum swap out cams. And, if you are going to open the engine, then a big bore kit might make sense too. 1.7 make nice 1911cc engines with 2.0l hp/tq. If still stock exhaust, consider swapping out to 2.0L stainless steel headers (SSI's) and exhaust to maintain heat.
mmm I bet we just set your friend back $5k! These guys advertise here: http://www.originalcustoms.com/engines.php |
