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) |

Paul.
Building it myself with my 13 year old son. (he probably has dreams of torque wrenchs chasing him). Would I do it again? Qualified yes. If my car had been fuel injected, I would have just done 2055. I already had a set of Dellorto 45's and no FI parts for my car, but I would do it differently. I would try Demello or DPR for the crank. Save about $200 I'd use KB 96's instead of JE. Another $200. These weren't available in stoker pin locations with 22mm pins when I started. I cleared my rods individually, off of the crank. Today I would just clear one on the crank (#2 or #4) and take them to the machined to match. Ended up doing that anyway, just wasted a whole lot of time. I used the Shadek pump. It cost $130 to machine it to work. Raby sells a type 1 pump ready to go. Would I build another one? No. Project will have a six. QUOTE How would I go about raising the compression? Just get the heads decked? If it's being stoked, your'll need spacers just to keep the pistons in the jugs. Carlos 76 2270 'it's almost ready' 76 Project |
