I'm going (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
Alright, so say I were to get a Raby 2056 kit, and put 40 or 44mm Webers on it... So then, what do I do about exhaust? I'm new to all this, so I don't understand the different types of exhaust. Headers? heat exchangers? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) So What would work well for a 2056? I need something inexpensive And for the heads. It says it comes with "Complete Super Stock remanufactured heads. 42x 36 valves oval exhaust ports, 96mm bore" , with the option to upgrade the heads to PORTED heads. Ok, so what's ported? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) And for the ignition. I don't know where to even start on this. I assume whatever ignition setup I have now isn't going to work. TIA. I'm trying to learn. |

Hi Hammy,
I was remembering what we talked about on the phone. So I have few questions for you. The answers will help us all help you!! What is the end result of this car? a) Toy to have fun in and race an occasional AutoX? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Daily driver with great gas mileage? c) Daily driver with lots of horsepower and OK - bad gas mileage? (like 13-18 MPG.) d) Full blown ricer killer? e) Do you want it to handle like a good stock 914? f) Do you want it to handle like a very crisp street car? g) Do you want it to handle like a like a F16 fighter on steroids? h) Cosmetically, do you want it perfect or just pretty good or you don't care? I) Do you need heat on your car? Lots a guys in Kali run with no heat. Therefore no heat Xchangers. Just headers and good muffler. J) How much money are you setting aside for this build? K) What are you starting with? Is this a rust bucket or a perfect car or where in between? L) How much time to you have to devote to this project? I suggest you ask some knowledgeable members here on the forum to come over and look at what you have. I always have another member look at my stuff for a second opinion before I start my projects (thanks Skline, Aaron, John and the guys at the cofffee shop). The other way to do it is to simply trust Jake on the engine. (I would) And blindly go forward with what you can afford like most of us. Time has no meaning in the 914 world. Utter than that. I am here to help. Like I told ya on the phone. I don't know shit. Thats why I ask questions and READ READ READ until I think i understand my next course of action ... Keep asking dude.. By the way... How old are you? Cause I sniff you are young and pretty dam smart... Twystd1 |
