I'm rebuilding my engine this winter. My original plan was to stay pretty much stock (including pistons & cylinders). My cam shows signs of wear on the lobes, so it needs to be replaced, along with new lifters. Piston rings are shot but P & C's are in spec. Heads will be rebuilt & all new bearings installed.
I'm sticking with D-jet and ordered a new wiring harness from Bowlsby. What I really love about my current setup with the stock 2.0 D-jet is the drivability and the overall lack of tinkering required to keep it going. I don't need a fire-breathing type 4 and don't want to mess around with external oil coolers & other add-ons because of heat concerns. This is a case of "while your in there." With the engine already torn down and for slightly more $$$ I'm considering building a 2056 with a slightly more aggressive (d-jet compatible) cam. My question is, what additional work is required to make D-jet work on a 2056 with a more aggressive cam. Is it just tweaking the MPS? Do I need to buy or install an air fuel meter? To someone who's been down this road, is it worth it? Thanks! |

it would require tuning the MPS and using an Air/Fuel meter, while driving or on a dyno is really the best way to do this. Your conditions and elevation matter, so its best to do this one on the car....
A hotter camshaft will make it idle worse, that is the result. Rich |
