What can I do to rebuild my 1.7 for more HP and torque but keep the original d-jet.
piston and cylinders crank camshaft heads ? I know I can't change the cam too much but is there one that will do better and still work with d-jet. I know there is modern FI but I'm not interested. No carbs. I'm not looking for all out HP or dropping 10K on an engine kit. I just want a nice bump in power, if possible, while keeping a stock looking engine. |

See the various builds linked in my sig. Very happy with the current 2056, but mine ended up a little wilder than it seems you are thinking of going. It run stock sized intake valves, with big exhaust valves and a fairly big cam. I think the cool running of the motor is due in part to the cam, and in part to the 75% intake/exhaust valve size ratio.
