Hi all,
I've been needing an engine rebuild for quite awhile now. I finally pulled out the tired old 2.0L and I'm in the process of putting in a 1.8L to drive while I do a rebuild. My plan (dream?) the entire time has been to buy a Raby 2056 kit and do the build myself. I'm pretty sure the last time I looked, the kits were around $3600. At that price, I'd say it was a no brainer. I had another look at the Type4Store site yesterday, and I see the kits are now $6000. I know Jake builds great stuff, and I'm sure the price is still worth it, but it's a little harder to justify the cost at the price point. Does anyone have any insight as to why the cost has jumped? Is Jake still active on here (haven't seen him post much lately)? Any suggestions on alternatives? What should I do? I was hoping to get some more power out of the 2.0L and I know that's not cheap. Thanks, |

I can answer the SDS question. Jake no longer handles SDS. All EFI sales are refered to someone you can find under the EFI section of the aircooledtechnologyforums site. Sorry, I do not recall his name. Again, this is something that took to much support time. When you call Jake about something, you are taking his concentration away from what he should be doing which is building and breaking in engines on the dyno. If you go with SDS, there are guys who can help you tune on his website under that EFI tab.
