Performance enhancements 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be D.E.Sweden on  Fri Jan 23 11:21 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi, Aidan! I agree and also diagree with some of the messages that you have recived(i haveŽnt read them all).
In a oem B18 they propably wouŽnt enhance the performance at all, but with the right changes they will be superior to the suŽs any day.

If you doŽnt want to increase the volume of the engine(is a good idea if you want more torque), i wouŽd increase the valve size to 42-35mm, together with a mild port job and opening of the comb.chamber around the valves+increasing the compression ratio to around 11:1+a K-cam wouŽd increase the power and torque alot.

With this modifications, the webers propably wouŽd work fine with 36mm venturis, to get best performance from this combination, a small 4-2-1 header+minimum 2"(prefably larger)exhaust would be nice.
