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. |

Glad everything has worked out for you Rob. Do you have a suspension under the car? Have you done anything to the tranny? LSD?
...and dont let this car beat you at AX events with that big new motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) This post has been edited by grantsfo: Dec 27 2007, 12:32 AM Attached image(s) |
