I am going to pull my engine this week after an embarassing weekend at sears point. Too little horsepower. Can't even keep up with the 944's. I hope to build up my 2.0L into something pretty strong, probably in the 140hp range. I will be keeping the stock FI if I can, but if I can sell the stock FI, maybe I go carbs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif)
Where should I start? What should I get? I do have a budget, so I want to keep the costs somewhat moderate. Help me out. Thanks! Terrance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

Do you have to stay 2.0L for your class or can you go larger?
If I was going to do a race engine, i would do an agressive webcam, carbs 44+ probably (get the CB performance linkage and manifolds - you can get carbs linkage and manifolds for ~600) and carbs are easy, you would be able to get them under control after a few times messing with them. P/C - depends on size, if I was staying near stock I would probably do birals w/ KB pistons...any bigger than 96 I would go with the Nickies and forged pistons... Valve train...I would go with the ceramic lifters and other lightweight goodies...try and make that thing spin... Heads, send 'em out and have them worked over by someone who knows what they are doing...headflowmasters, rimco, I don't know who is in good graces now or not...but have the shop match the rest of your setup with valve sizes etc... Then have the whole mess balanced...dry sump if you are really serious...and finish it of with a ceramic coated tangerine header... well...theres my 3cents...feel free to tear it apart...depending on sizes and how high you move the power band I would think you could easily get 140 and maybe more...I have heard about 2.0L engines that make 200hp, but they rev to 8K and need a rebuild pretty often.... course what do I know...I had Jake build my engine...but its not a full race motor...
