dyno run for 2366 with Web street cam and DLRA 45s Options

[98101]

I bought this car a couple months ago, and wrestling with problems that I expected, and some I didn't expect.

Dyno shop got a noticeable performance improvement by reaming out the main jets. We played with the timing curve a little bit also. Unfortunately the clutch is contaminated or something and sometimes interfered with torque readings.

Now that I've read more about 2366 longevity, I'm not sure I'd opt for it. It sounds great and pulls harder than I'm used to in a 914 though.

Your clutch is slipping probably any time you are putting your foot down.
As a reference point, my 2056 dynoed at numbers greater then your 2366. You are WAY under potential power.

I agree with the others that your clutch is limiting you. Anyway you do it, you need to pull the transmission and clean or replace the clutch.

The longevity issue with the 2366 is heat. The head temps are pretty high and they don't last as long as other builds. You can mitigate it with $$$ pistons and cylinders and head work. But I'd not worry about it. Get it running properly and enjoy the power. You are going to have a very fast 914.

I'm excited to hear that! I hope you're right. It already feels faster (and sounds better) than the single carb 2.0 I had in the 1980s.

Synchromesh is shot in every gear except 3rd. I'm hoping Dr. Evil makes a stop here sometime.

Regarding the head temps, the car does have a front oil cooler, CHT gauge, and oil temperature gauge. And it doesn't get as hot here as where the PO built it. And I'm more likely to track my cheap 91 Miata than this car. Maybe I'll be OK?
