I am going to pull my engine this week after an embarassing weekend at sears point. Too little horsepower. Can't even keep up with the 944's. I hope to build up my 2.0L into something pretty strong, probably in the 140hp range. I will be keeping the stock FI if I can, but if I can sell the stock FI, maybe I go carbs?

Where should I start? What should I get? I do have a budget, so I want to keep the costs somewhat moderate. Help me out. Thanks! Terrance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

Don't rush anything. Plan out your entire engine from cams to induction, to head mods etc. For reliable HP, every component needs to be matched to other components to achieve the best result. The head work will really be dictated by your intake, cams, and exhaust flow. Once you determine which cam you want, what type of carb set up you are running, and the exhaust choices... then you can talk to your head guys and make sure your heads flow properly to match the rest of the components. A lot of power can be found in the heads. Even Bruce Anderson states that in his 911 book. There is also lots of fun and power to be found in balancing everything. Have your P&Cs balanced in to a gram or fraction of a gram of each other. Have the crank weight balanced. Lighter weight springs, and lifters, and flywheel mods can all add to a freely spinning responsive motor. Spend money on head work... port and polish, correct size valves for your motor combo, etc. I would think that something like 100mm P&Cs (spring for Birals or Nikkies), 44 or 48mm carbs, a beefier carb friendly cam like a Webcam 86a or 86b, balance and blueprinting work, minor weight reduction in the flywheel, strong springs, lighter lifters, a good cooling system (air cooling or oil cooling), and a Tangerine Racing header/exhaust combo and you will be rocking! Talk to Raby... dig in his website a little. There is lots of valuable info there. Put together an engine on paper and shoot it by the list for critique. Regards, |
