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! |

The WEB FI cam works OK.
You have to search for OE P&C'c or if you have a real good used set you can hone and re-ring them. Avoid VW Bus pistons and if you do find an euro piston set they will likely be spendy. There is nothing wrong with using the KB pistons and bored cylinders (96mm), It won't mess the D-jet much. I personally don't care for the AA P&C kits. I'd at least try to borrow a O2 WB meter, but they have come down to less than $200. |

Maybe a 2056 with a stock cam would be the answer...would it require any MPS tweaking? |
