Alright, so say I were to get a Raby 2056 kit, and put 40 or 44mm Webers on it... So then, what do I do about exhaust? I'm new to all this, so I don't understand the different types of exhaust. Headers? heat exchangers? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) So What would work well for a 2056? I need something inexpensive And for the heads. It says it comes with "Complete Super Stock remanufactured heads. 42x 36 valves oval exhaust ports, 96mm bore" , with the option to upgrade the heads to PORTED heads. Ok, so what's ported? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) And for the ignition. I don't know where to even start on this. I assume whatever ignition setup I have now isn't going to work. TIA. I'm trying to learn. |

Jake- thanks for the graphs and the info. And for the heads, as I'm trying to keep prices as low as I can, will the upgrade optional USED ported heads be a good choice? And yes I'm definitely leaning on you! I'm just trying to understand the basics. What about service in those 86k miles? Is it any more service required than say a stock engine? Clayton- Lots of questions! My end result for the car is probably a lot different than others. It'll be a daily driver, the car I drive to school once a week (home study), a RAIN car-I plan on weather-proofing the car as much as I can, the car I drive out on country twisty roads.. You know, that stuff. Maybe later in the future autocross, if I get the balls. And of course I'd love to show off the torque and outrun a few ricers once in a while, who wouldn't? I want it to handle well, as well as it should stock-wise with a front swaybar later on. I'm not looking to have the best handling teener out there. Cosmetically, well that's the least of my worries right now. My car has a badly dented up front bumper, different colored bumpers, small dings everywhere and a nice dent, desperate need of a repaint, ugly westerner wheels. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) I need heat! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) The car is overall probably a C. Maybe a parts car to some down in LA. Driver's floor pan under seat needs replacing, bottom rear trunk too. Hell hole doesn't really seem that bad. Small hole in the engine shelf part. Who knows what i'll find when the engine is out. Longs seem real good too. Interior could be better. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) trying to keep it around 4k for parts and everything, though I see it going higher.. thats ok. Time really isn't an issue, I'm willing to put time in it. I'm patient. I plan on just going with the flow, if I have a strict set plan then I'm going to end up disappointed, right? You know a lot more than I know! I'm learning what i can, when I can. oh, and this may or may not surprise you but I'm 16. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) |
