Hello all! I am just finishing up the cleaning and inspection of my torn down engine, a stock 2.0L 76. I am planning on rebuilding it as a 2.0L with a Microsquirt taking care of fuel and spark. Inside of the engine the only "upgrade" I will be going for is a more modern cam.
While I am finding companies that provide complete rebuild kits, some of my parts like the crank are still good, and don't need to be replaced. I am looking for companies that will help me build a complete kit around the parts I don't need to replace. Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Jim |

It's just that stock pistons and cylinders are the same price as 96mm. So take the free upgrade. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The 2056 is truly an upgrade and I hate the way that word is thrown around - "I upgraded to BMW calipers dude!" No you didn't. At best it was a wash... It's a nice bump in power and you could even use the stock EFI as long as you don't get cam-foolish. Call Original Customs. He can custom a kit for you. He even knows a thing or two about microsquirt... |

Thanks for the info. I have followed some of the MS discussions on here, and know that McMark has been a positive contributor to all of the discussions. I haven't contacted him because it says on his site that his MS setups are only for his engine customers, and the engine services he has listed are not for just selling parts, but for the building of engines for his customers.
If there are other options not list on his web site I will be a very happy guy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
