I'm at a crossroad in my 914 experience. After getting all the engine components cleaned up and ready to go, I started my inspection. Turns out the PO never told me there was a good bit of piston slap. So I'm turning a different route and I would like to get more information on the 2270.
Does anyone know where I can get specifics about it? I hear a lot of upgrades from the 1.7 and 1.8L blocks, but not all that much from the 2L block? Is there a reason? Is there a way to get the added stroke without cracking the block? Anyways, thanks for the info. Can't wait to actually drive this thing that sits in my garage and taunts me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

Actually, the TIV is falling off in Germany these days.
With the new laws and etc in the fatherland many tuners that were once on top of the world have fallen off or went out of business. Even in their day the Germans didn't do alot with small bores. They were into short stroke large bore engines with super long duration cams and hardly any lift. This was great for high speeds on the Autobahn but wasn't very good for acceleration... The 2270 may have been done in a multitude of locations, but it was perfected right here under my roof- Thats a guarantee. I have 107 different proven combinations of 2270 and have used that base for more R&D than anything else combined. |
