Hey all. Who wants to donate their two cents worth on this... I am converting to six cyinder, and I have two engines.... a 2.2T with webers and a 2.7S with CIS.
I thought the CIS would be nice for everyday driving, and would be less troublesome overall, especially if the car sits for a long period of time. However, I heard there are some clearance issues on the rear firewall. Has anyone overcome this? Or would it be better to use the carb setup on the 2.7 and change the cams???? Either way I have pieces left over... and pieces to buy. Thanks. -Kris |

But the cost per HP .... is it really worth the big bucks for the cams, pistons and overhaul bits to gain the 40 or so HP? The carbs are rare enough, who still stocks euro pistons? Sometimes I think it would be better to just go with a 3.2 to start with.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) but how much is too much... I don't want to flare the fenders, and I already have a carrera front end in with 16" fuchs and 205/55's all round. Too much HP will be lost on those skinny little rubbers. If I don't use the carbs I have a whole 'nuther engine to use in maybe a 550 kit... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
