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 |

If torque is more important than HP, then make a compromise. The 160HP mark is easy to attain with off the shel available parts, even heads. Beyond that, things change.
If you want torque, I'd settle on a 9:1 2270 with the Web 163/86B (My version has T4 Store part #9500 and it is set up for a 78mm crank if you clearance 1.5 gr off each big end corner of the T4 Store rods) and RS+ T4 Store heads. There's a kit that the store has thats similar to that, and you get it all without guesswork. My builds are getting bigger through development and better, too. I have moved toward a 2.4L combo for my engine program to take the pace of the 2270 for the future. With each of these making over 200HP, and having LN Nickies as standard, its easier to justify the added costs that occur each and every year. Instead of having a bunch of different engines that fit all the applications, I have worked toward a single engine offering that will do everything, in every application. Thats been a challenge. |
