corradojeff's second atempt at bug

[Kev]

See, you shoulda traded those B pistons for my 90.5 A's lol...
 

Just kidding

[Garry H]

B pistons??? On a stock stroke.... Clearance that case for an 82mm crank and you'll end up with Close to zero deck with that piston....

[corradojeff]

And then I have a feeling that I will be out flowing my dell 40's and need to step those up aswell?

Gary: with the zero deck do you think that will still provide clearance for valves?

Would the engine run na with the 82 or go with 74 crank and turbo?

Thanks for all the tips so far

[Garry H]

74 is what I would call a mini stroke.... you cann still use Apistons and not have to clearance the case/rods.... I have had a 2054 myself with 44 IDFs and then went to a 2276... The difference is huge... You don't Really make a bunch more HP you just make that HP over a lot wider range... If your heads are not Really done (dual springs, ported) the you wanna have them done... If you are running a cam any bigger than an engle 100 you should already have this done.... You may just wanna look for a set of A pistons.... If you are going turbo you'll make up the power....

I would think that with the current way things are with Mahle not producing new products right now that it would perhaps be easier to get the crank to remedy the issue....

[Garry H]

Yah that is a bummer.... I have three sets of 94Bs (not 4sale) in my shed just in case I need them...  I do have one 2276 to build....

I prolly shouldn't have said that... Last time I did my message box got full fast...

[corradojeff]

will the dell 40's support the 2276? i really dont want to have to go find another set of carbs? if i do that i will probably just run no turbo

[CatBox]

They can.

However they will be the limiting factor to how much air it will be able to breath.  When you get bored with that then you can save up for some others.

It is a stinkin' slippery slope this performance VW crap is I tell 'ya.  That is one of the reasons I skipped to the front of the line with my build.

[jbjetta]

At least you have a buy who would line up for the dell's :D

[corradojeff]

so where do i get my case clearanced for the crank?

[Garry H]

Brothers in Bend... You'll need to send your rods to get done too..

As far as the dells go you could sell them and get a set of 44s to replace them for close to the same $$.... You could get away with them but that depends on your heads... A 110 cam would be perfect for a stock geared too.... 120 with some head work will make it fun to drive....

[corradojeff]

the heads are ported and polished. 42x37.5 valves i think, if not they are they next size smaller. The heads are already set up with dual springs. the cam is currently a webb 110 which basically has the lift of a 110 with the durration of the 120

[Garry H]

Well if you have 40 x 35.5 valves, dual springs, mild ported heads, Webb 110, 1.25 rockers, and dual 44s on a 2275 you will be tickled when you feather the throttle and the car pulls like a horse... That's a great low end grunt motor... It will be over at 5k or so but it will make great power up to that power... You'll never want anything but a stroker ever again...

Phil Bradfield has a 2332, stage 5 DRD heads, c35 (scat) cam, with CB EFI on it... I figured it to be able to pull a Notchback around with a 3.88 ring and pinion trans... It runs smooth like a Rice Burner, and make big torque... It still needs some tuning and to actualy be driven though....

[CatBox]

This is the oddly the only picture I have of the heads that Jeff has now.



Actually you can see lots of Jeffs motor here....
* Heads
* Pistons and cylinders
* Rockers
* Pushrods
* Extra turbo cam

The dry sump stuff and turbo header went to Volksrodders.
Mark has the MSD.
All I have left of that purchase are the Dellorto 45's and manifolds.

[Garry H]

If those heads are turbo prepped the exhaust valves may be too big.... Hopefully the did a split duration cam insteads...
