I can't leave well enough alone.....

    Because of the hood clearance issue I made up a 1" spacer last night and have sent it off to my nephew to have it installed and re-do the tests....2" was mathmatically the optimum but I realize alot of guys don't want to cut the hood inner structure so I made the 1" and am getting it checked out.

I have a 4" body lift, I'll test the 2" spacer
and see what happens, if you want to send
it for evaluation

Hey Wild
    I'm interested in doing that...I don't know how a spacer will work on forced induction. I kinda think the Turbo will minimize the benefit but it would be neat to test.
    I'm gonna make up a couple more in the near future, if you're not in a rush, I'd be interested in sending one to you and see how it works.

Interested?

The turbo motor lost a piston, ground up the
oil pump, ate the #1 rod bearing, and I think
broke the crankshaft while driving home from Moab
:'(

I'm going to put it together in N/A form, go get my
smog check and then redo the turbo on a 16V head
and go all MegaSquirt, including Ign control/boost retard

So if you want to get some testing in while I'm in the
transitional stage of N/A to Turbo, I would go do some
measured 1/4s and see what happens

The hood isn't an issue with most of us as we are running bodylifts. I will wait and see how you get on before I attempt this with mine. The performance benefits may not be that great but it should bring my intake up high enough to reconnect the pipe to the snorkel  ;D

Yo Wild
    I'm thinking this is a great way to check out the prototype parts and get it "out of the family".

If you're interested I'm making up...

- (1") and (2") spacer plates
- Low restriction Aircleaner/Filter system
 (won't fit under stock hood with the 2" but should fit
  under yours)
- Retarded cam pulley
- Under Drive Crank Pulley
- Crank fire ignition system (single not dual)

Once I've got it all ready I'd love to get some independent verification of how they work.

As prototypes they will be functional but probly not the prettiest.

Still interested?

If you need a crank or bits for your rebuild PM me, I have some stuff in the "businesses" inventory we can do a deal on.

Oh yeah

    I'm also trying to find the cash to get a couple of extra 226/395 cams done up for more extensive "on the road" testing.

That would be an interesting group of parts
to test, I have wanted to test the variable
valve timing, but nobody makes a cog for that.

I saw an RPM operated variable valve timing
mechanical cog years ago, that was made for
a VW 1.8L 4 cylinder, wanted one for the Kick
but nobody made one

This could offer lower RPM torque and higher
RPM power at the same time, and not affect
the drivability.

Let me know when you have these for testing.
I have a 16V engine that was going into the
Kick after Moab, but the piston blew before I
got home

I need to spec out my cam, I don't even remember
what lift it has, idles smooth, but had a major power
increase in the torque range, I really liked it, hills that
the Kick would down shift on it pulled in 3rd (auto trans)

Let me know when you're ready "Wild"

    I'm going to put together what I call Power Kit One
and get you to try it.

- Low restriction Aircleaner/Filter system
- 1" spacer
- Under Drive Crankshaft pulley

Not a rush by any means...

Hey Zag...I could do some testing for you as well....

That might be easier to have a north of the
boarder tester, I don't know how customs
are with these, other than you send them as
professional samples or as a gift item

yup ... a 2" spacer would be perfect to go with my 2" body lift ... nice how things can work out :)

    I might just ake you up on some of the wilder stuff, the engine you've got is sweet and well past stock so the lightweight stuff won't have as applicable effect.

"Wild"
    Customs is a non issue, but your engiine soulds like it will be better suited to give good data the
on  "lightweight" mods.

Zag, have you thought about making up phenolic resin insulating spacers? Keep the carb/throttle body nice and cool for a denser charge.
