I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on the 2270 engine kit from the Type 4 store. I'm curious if anyone knows what the difference between the kit and the Raby 2270 SR. I see they each have different HP specs. Do we think this is an actual difference or just a difference in written spec? Same cam? Same Heads? Curious if this kit can make better HP than 140? Headers? Other tested and ordained cam?
I'd appreciate any input based on experience, Best, Alex |

What is there for a slight bump in HP if you want to keep your 1.7 with existing dual Dell's, and you want economy and longevity of engine life as the main factor, with performance secondary?
It seems there is lots of info on 2.0 upgrades/conversions, but not much for the 1.7. I suspect it's because people want to get away from the 1.7 as fast as possible, not unlike the side shift upgrades away from the tails. But what's a 1.7L person to do, other than run away? |

Like I said.... header. It's a bolt on. |

Like I said.... header. It's a bolt on. Thanks for the reply. Yes, I saw that. I should have asked the question that popped into my head: Since this is a daily driver in Cali-Oregon Cascades, I regularly drive in sub-freezing (and occasional sub-zero) temps, what does a header do to the heat exchange? Or more specifically, are there any headers with exchangers built in? What are the heat options with headers? And finally, are there any electrical heater options that could plug into the cig lighter or direct wire? |

To me you have a choice ...heat or in your case about 10 extra hp, or the extreme of swapping exchangers and headers 2X year. Tangerine did have a heat box option at one time you could see if he still does. The only thing that works electrically is heated seats, the heaters are total crap. A gas heater is a do-able option but it costs and is a lot of work. |
