Just rolled into the driveway from a 70 mile trip back from McMark's Original Customs Shop in Napa... Wow. I left Mark's shop at about 4:30pm so I knew I was going to get some traffic. But magically, it was sporadic and I just cruised. This motor just never ceases to amaze me. 5th gear passes are no problem. The power is everywhere. Not peaky at all. just pulls from the bottom to the top. I love this motor!!!
I think my motor is a similar combo to Dave Hunt. He has Nickies which are actually good for a little power in addition to better cooling. I will be working out some details over the winter which will be small stuff at best. Possibly an external oil cooler. Though, I have to tell you guys this again, this motor runs cooler than my stock 2.0 liter. I strongly recommend the 2270 Raby kit. Build it yourself or have Mark do it. He has a couple of them under his belt now. This is the motor VW-Porsche should have used. |

Rob, I can only imagine, considering how nicely my new 2056 with stock D-jet runs and pulls.
Was at Laguna a week ago and put the hurt on a '65 911 sporting a Jerry Woods 2.0L 6 putting 170HP to the ground. I am sure it hurt him mightily to give me the passing signal between 4 &5 and then later in the day going up the main straight. you can just make him out behind me in this pic.
