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. |

Let me know if you find the gaskets.... Also, what CHT have you been seeing?? What hole do these gasket's plug on dells? I have a part throttle (I assumed progression port) whistle/squeal too on my dells, but I half thought it was a noisy alternator belt that I couldn't find a good tension on. Goes away at full throttle, which I've always used as an excuse to go faster. Can you point out on the attached dellorto pic where this gasket goes? Come to think of it...I'm pretty sure my vacuum ports aren't plugged... |
