I understand the time thing. I am getting ready to tear out my kitchen and start anew! This is really going to cut into the P-car time. I just hope there is no delay in the cabinets arrival. Anyway...

I agree there are factory specs for factory built engines. What about the ones they didn't build? custom applications need some custom tuning. I think I may end up with an electronic spark control to go with my EFI on the project motor. This could get way too involved without a dyno and a starting place.

PM or email about the struts. Yeah, I think I could use the room. Besides, the stock M calipers have been just fine on the track once I put the ducts on. I really don't think the targa needs any more brake. The ST... Well that's a different story all together.

Anyone remap a dizzy for a custom engine config? Jase, Bueller, anyone? I know RoninLB used a stock 2.7RS dizzy in his 2.7RS/PMO carb'd engine. I think it's pretty close, since all that's different than a classic 2.7RS/MFI is the induction (A/F ratio vs. rpm???). Not sure who else may have had to tackle this.

I'll contact you about the brakes / struts, Jamie.

Speed Bump :shock:
Jim, what did you end up with?
I asked Matt about the US distributer that's in my car and I'll map it when I get some time.
I'm supposed to have the Euro distributer to go with My CIS.
I have the US distributer curve (Map) Anyone seen the euro version.
The 79 might be simular because it had the same version of K-basic CIS.

Matt if your there, thanks for the alignment!

You asked how it drives. It's a little unsettled at higher speeds 110-120.
I'm wondering if putting the rocker extension will help a little.
I do have the front spoiler with no rear wing. I herd that's a no-no, but that's the way it came. Is that correct?

[exageration to follow] At those speeds ... BIG NO NO. :shock: [end]

On a street car ... I have been convinced by other, it is better than opposit way [wing and no chin spoiler].

humbly,

Jase

The big no-no is rear spoiler with no front. I didn't think front with no rear was a big no-no, or at least no more so than no spoilers at all. I think Tony drove 999 with no rear spoiler for as couple years and seemed to have survived :D

Yes ... but he was in the infancy of his ascension to greatness then :wink:

I would rather run no F or R anything at 130+ [think '66 2.0L F straight VIR] than F spoiler and no rear or versa-visa.

[taken to its own thread]

Now that’s different, I always thought it was the other way around! Both our Carrera’s have the same stock front “chin” no rear and both are steady at speed. The ’87 has seen 130 (briefly) indicated at SP with a cross wind, without drama. When we ran the ’71 in auto-x with no add ons the “aggressive” alignment made it twitchy at anything over 80 :shock:
