I'm going (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
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. |

Save a tad more money and get what you want... Otherwise you will NEVER be satisfied knowing it could be better..
As for service on my engine- It was built from 90% used parts 86K ago and has went up to 18K miles without an oil change AND I have not had to adjust a valve since February 2003! I have checked them every 6 months or so but have not needed to touch a single one yet... Keep in mind that I take this car to driver's ed and have put over 500 track miles on it at WOT above 5500RPM! Longevity and reliability IS NOT IMPACTED by more performance as long as the mathmatics are closely adhered to- Its all in the combo! This engine will last longer than stock, will run cooler than stock and will get equal or better MPG than stock- all while stretching out the RPM range to a more user friendly level and adding power in the upper midrange. Making power doesn't kill the engine! (as long as you do it my way) Hell, on the way through West Virginia I held near 90 MPH for over a solid hour+, it loves it. |
