My car has a 2056cc engine in it, but with the stock L-Jet fuel injection. And when I was modifying the engine I went ahead and put in a slightly more radical cam. I was wondering if I shoulf keep the L-jet and try to "tweak" it to privide enough fuel, or if I should switch over to Webbers?
BTW, does anyone out there have information on the diferences between the fuel injectors on the 1.8L vs. the 2.0L (mainly flow rates). |

Ok, so it has taken a little bit of time but I think that I have located some specs on the cam in my engine. I know that the brand is Engle, but when I did some research on their website I descovered that they don't in fact make cams specifically for the type-4 engines. I ordered the cam through a VW mechanic. Does the type III or II have the same cam design as the type IV or am I going to need to replace the cam altogether?
Aside from that here are the specs of the cam I believe are in the engine now... Valve Lift: .420" Advertised Duration: 276 Degrees Cam Lift: .383" Duration @ .050: 236 Degrees From my research on the web cams this seems to be a mild carbureted cam grind. Has anyone else out there used the engle cams? I'm wondering if this might be contributing to my overheating...though I'm also pretty sure now that a major part of the overheating is that I don't have any of the engine bay seals (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |
