What was the original use for the large hole on the flywheel side of the right (passenger) engine case?
Looks like it could have been a good flywheel lock location. To me it looks like very good spot for a crankshaft position sensor... What was its original reason for being there? |

Installation would be about 4 hours if you already have stock fuel injection. Even the basic fuel map will be ready to run. It is all plug and play.

That type of performance gain on a hot 2.0 or maybe a 2.2 is what I'm after. I'd like to double the stock power of the original 1.8 L-Jetronic which I first have to restore to its original fuel injection which came with the car. I will run it on a dyno in stock form first to get a base line. On the big engine I will make internal engine mods and I'm planning on using E85 which could be worth some more power. 5-10% would be what I'd expect in a non-boosted E85 set up over 93 pump. What is a normal WHP reading for a stock 75 1.8? I would guess 60-65. |
