trust me, i know all about jake, im also on STF and thesamba.

i agree about the mechanics....all they really know about are T1's. my mechanic didnt even see how it was preferable to use a T4 instead.


im looking to put in a 2.0 too....but funds lacking

Krems where in Kingston are you. The conversion may not be all that expensive if you can find 2.0ltr bus cylinder head tins. Jake sell a book which tells how to do this.

i have Joe Cali's book, and i can find an engine with little prob...just need the dual carbs, to fabricate an exhaust....do the necessary work (lighten the flywheel too) and go.


im in Mona

any advice/suggestions?







to keep on topic: nice shroud, wonder how it'll do against the DTM.

by the way, Jake, i remember some time ago you said you hadnt tested the dtm against the Cali conversion, have you done so since then?

Krems: To find dual carbs check Peter or Morgan on Red hills road by the Price Right suppermarket, they should be able to help you out. Thank god i have my dual 44 webers the price for new carbs now is rediculous. Do you have a flywheel as yet if not get an 1.8l flywheel and you are set if not the waterboxer flywheel can be used with a cars starter its 228mm ( more clamping force ). About the exhaust thing i was going to fab mine i have to buy 1 5/8 stub pipes form jake, the bends can be sourced elsewhere. Krem if you lighten the flywheel get everything balanced this should be done on any engine built. The mechanics hear don't tell you this they only put your engine together as best they can and bang 6 months later you are out of an engine, yes i know we don't have balancer in Jamaica but spend the money and check jake out. I am curious to see how well sandeep's engine cool after the modifications to the shroud.
