Btw, from experience.
48/38 is a high revving track motor, not so great around town. 46/38 is a sweet setup that you can wind up till the valves float 44/38 is a nice tame version that runs nice. Spend the money on a nice valve job, and port the 44/38 setup and you will love the motor. This is probably the best setup for all around use, decent port velocity and its cheap fun...no special case work aside from milling out for the jugs. No need for external oil cooler unless you are on the track only...for street and autos, it's fine with the stock setup. Again, being a CSOB, I don't think trying to get more than 180 hp out of a type 4 motor makes to much sense to me....it starts to cost a lot more money right about 180 or more. That is really plenty of reasonably priced fun with a 914 |

To the over heating topic:
I do agree with rich (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Heat is caused by compression not bore! What I'd like to know is, what cam are you planing to run? Would the 9550 still work? |
