Oelfinger Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 What to you want to know ? Using a 2.8i bottom with original cam and a 38 weber carb. Polished inlets and intake manifold. Output is 156bhp at Dyno. I will sell the motor because I work on a BOA at the moment. If you are intersted plz let me know. Kind Regards Daniel

bortaf Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 38DGS (if it aint got one already), some cappa ashley manifolds and a system (probably have to be made for it though), K&N, ect All the usuall stuff plus Burtons recomended a good inlet to head port match when i had My Mk2 granny, i fitted a pair of Stage 1 heads from them and although it didn't really set the world alight (probably due to being in a barge) they did make a good improvemnet Much more than that and youll need to start looking at better traction
