Jakes looking at making these kits available for what's a really reasonable price.
Here's the details: Engine Thread on Jakes Forum I'll put them together for cheap labor. He's only making four right now, but email him for details. |

one would think a kit for a 2.0, with the correct pistons would be the same price. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) kevin 1.7 cranks and rods can be had for almost nothing, 2.0 cranks and rods go for a pretty penny. Jake is trying to make some use ($) out of his undoubtedly abundant supply of these paperweights. |

A 2.0 crank is 3 times the crank as a 66 stroke crank...
1.7/1.8 rods are 4 times cheaper than 2.0 rods. |

That way you wouldn't have the added expense of hunting down 2.0 sheet metal? Besides, aren't the 2.0 heads more likely to crack than the 1.8? Or will the 1.8 heads limit your hp real bad? |

I don't know what Jake's using for these kits. Shoptalk is down right now. But what you're saying makes sense. I don't think this is supposed to be an ULTIMATELY cheap kit. Just cheaper than the full engines Jake does.

It's good parts for less money due to the cores being cheap and plentiful.
The heads are 1.7 or 1.8 with 42x36 valves........ We are talking a complete engine kit for less than 2800 bucks if you have cores- Thats a steal especially since its got my combo. Even with 1.8 heads or for that fact 1.7 heads this combo will make 100HP, I have never tested a bone stock 2.0 that made 100HP on my dyno. |

What goes into making a complete kit? Does it include the valves & such along with all (totally) innards to fill a block? Sorry for my ignorance. I haven't gotten into the "engine internal" as yet but would sure like to.
I haven't known what I was doing when I took on any of the repairs since I got the car but I've learned (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (I think)! ........b |

Ok, so let me rephrase the question: Why would you go with the added expense of 2.0 heads and sheet metal if you can get the same performance from a 1.8 head, properly built?

QUOTE Ok, so let me rephrase the question: Why would you go with the added expense of 2.0 heads and sheet metal if you can get the same performance from a 1.8 head, properly built? I just built a motor like this, 1.8 bottem end, fresh 2.0 heads, no additional costs since I had all the parts....it would have cost me more to rebuild the 1.8 heads, even more so to get them up to 2.0 standards (I thought I read that 2.0 are good for approx 10 hp right off the bat over the 1.7 and 1.8 heads) what was meant with the "1911's rock" by Mike and Brad was to let people know that there is potential in the smaller stroke motors and that motors other than the 2.0 can be fun....my first 914 had a 1911 (1.8 based) and my driving instructors thought it pulled better than their 2.0 914's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

Let me see if I hear the deal correctly.
$3799.00 get's me a crate of high quality parts? I must assemble It myself ( risky ) or pay to get it assembled ( expensive ). Seems like $5k or more to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I'm looking at a SIX conversion for under $4k, including a running engine. ( that I can do myself ) To each his own... KT |
