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. |

With my "Extensive prep service" option for the 2008 kits the deck height, end play AND valve train geometry processes are removed from assembly!
We set this up for you during our portion of the kit, allowing the assembler to build the engine without ANY special tools or procedures. Just bolt it together. My kit program and the service and suppiort we offer is designed for the first timer, I have reconfigured the program for 2008 with time lines, more documentation and I have transformed my basement into a video studio to tape the support video over the next 3 months. With this video I'll walk you through EVERY step of the procedure....... My development always has and always will use the lab for comparison and initial development, but I then hone the combination in the car with full data acquisition. I hope to have 90% of our engines leaving in kit form in 2008 and beyond, freeing up the shop for Boxster development and a select few MassIVe Turn Keys that we want to take on. Type 4 development will continue, ut mostly in the form of practical application since I have spent 30 months designing components that all need to be tested and then brought to market.. BTW- no local shop can create what we can for you, I don't care what they say. The reason for this is dsimple, each time they build an engine for a customer its experimental, they don't have the opportuinity to create, hone and apply developments every day like we do, because they generally work on a variety of cars, not one specific engine. There is certainly no way they can realisitcally create 150HP turn key for 5K and expect it to be anything less than a cornucopia of components. The new kit program will change the face of MassIVe engines for the 3rd time in the past 5 years, every time we make it better, easier and remove the guesswork. Results like Robs are typical when people follow the directives word for word and don't cut corners. |
