Have the bores been inspected and found to be correct? 20 microns is a tolerance I have never in 40+ years seen achieved by common or garden lineboring techniques which most use, but I have seen the destruction it leads to. I have been told too many times by VW 'engineers' that they set the cutters with a tenth thou' clock, simply assuming the holes will end up equally accurate. Undersize or oversize, the wrong size is storing up troubles for what is essentially building a block of new flats on old bungalow foundations...
Recommendations on building a mild 1776 cc engine for my 1303.
I am building a stock looking 1776 cc engine for my 1303.
Any comments suggestions and specially experience with a similar setup, on the specks below, are most appreciated?
What i want is a civilized easy driven engine that pulls from low down.
Of course I want as much power as I can get, but not on the great expense of low down power and torque.
Going from 1300 to 1776 will naturally give a great deal of what I want, but maybe there are more easy apples to pick?
I will use:
Cast AA pistons and cylinders.
AB 1300 engine case – AS41- With Hover mods.
Full flow oil pump / filter.
Stock crank, con – rods.
Stock TP heads, and do a little flow work on them
34pict carburetor – MAYBE a progressive Weber.......
Probably stock valve train with bolted rocker axles.
Depends on whats needed for the cam I am going to use.
CR 8 – 8.5
Stock looking exhaust with CSP High Flow tailpipes and either I will mess the internals up in the stock exhaust, or maybe buy the CSP stock looking one.
As I don’t want a screamer and as I rarely will see over 4000 rpm, I am a little I doubt about if I just should stick with the stock cam or go for a mild upgrade.
Have tried to order a CB 2280 cheater cam but the order were canceled because it is not available any more.
That leaves me with stock cam,
or maybe an Engel W90,
or maybe 1:25 rockers with stock cam is just what I need,
or if some of you folks have a better suggestion?
Recommendations to the rest of the setup is of course also most welcome.
Have been looking a little towards this setup CSP has posted, using a W90 cam, in conjunction with their High Flow tailpipes.
