Going from ~90 HP to ~125 HP is a big step up in our little cars. That's about 40% more power! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Andy |

By the numbers a 2056 doesn't seem like a large increase. But like most things, the numbers don't tell the whole story. The combo that Jake has put together is a real, and noticeable improvement, as Scott has mentioned.

exhaust leak is fixed!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
now i don't sound like a pack of firecrackers as i get to a stop light...... so with a smooth exhaust note and a fresh exterior wash and interior vacuum, i think i added about 10-14HP. if i had cleaned the windows, who knows what the dyno would say!!!! regardless, you want a great motor, get this one. i will check in on occassion as the miles add up. but being in new england, it will be about 40 degrees below zero in about a month so i may be somewhat delayed.... cheers and thanks again to everyone who has made this engine/trans work out so well. scott |

How about the limited fore-aft travel with the JWest linkage upgrade? Did you do the extra clearancing needed to help select 2nd/4th? We are about to work on another box with excess play in the forks and try to tighten up the slop by improving internal clearances. |

QUOTE How about the limited fore-aft travel with the JWest linkage upgrade? Did you do the extra clearancing needed to help select 2nd/4th? was a quick fix once i got info from james/ed.... needed to remove a bit more material due to interference with the front of the new console on the trans. had no problem with 2nd/4th but was having issues engaging 3rd. and yes, the roll pin and worn ball lever replace helped as well! cheers, scott |

Zombie thread......
Just wondering after driving the car for 2 years with the new 2056, how's it been treating you? Have you gotten used to the power yet, or is it still a nice surprise? FYI, I'm responding to this old one since I see there has been a lot of talk about 2056 rebuilds recently and this is one of the few full reviews. |

10-month bump:D
For some reason...even though I have a 2.7 911 engine, carbs, oil tank, headers, muffler, sheetmetal...I'm still intrigued by this WAY easier upgrade option. Scottb, how's the car running/feeling. |
