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) |

Buy one of Raby's engines and sell me your 2.0. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
Or you can try my 1.7 on the track. You will reach a new level of slow. |
