2,4 liter update

Hello,
I did post some pics on the STF already, but would really like to show my build-up to the GL society as well
The long block is firmly together but the surrounding parts have been test fitted only so far.
Still, I hope to have the DTA computer 'mapped'by the end of this year



Best regards,
Walter

Nice looking engine you got there. What amount of power do you expect to make with it.

Thanks,
Well, I have no idea about the hp to be honest, but probably nothing high, since it still has got the stock valved 914 2,0 heads on it, which will be the limiting factor.
Greetings,
Walter

Those stub stacks look too tall for the filters you have...
Ideally you want a diameter and a half of the inlet as free height above the stub stack, but the more clear height above it the better (too a point, obviously )
So weber 40's you really want 60mm above the stub stack as a minimum.

Read that in some carb tuning manual years ago.

And sometimes stub stacks are known as velocity stacks....

Cya,

Also, this is quite en experimental engine for me because of the use of the used 964 piston/cylinders and EFI, so if the longblock blows, it won't take out too much of value I hope and the loss of expensive heads would hurt then even more.

Polish? well, I hardly ever wash my car on the outside, so polishing on the inside would seem weird
Just kidding of course...

Greetings to Groningen,
