Re: 16V NOS kit questions and Rant

[LXVTEC@aol.com]

Scott, 
I have a 1.8 16V with 82.5 MM bore and high compression forged pistons 
(Unsure of the stroke) with a 2.0 head ported and polished. I am running the 
stock 2Y with 3.67 final and it is OK for low-end torque. I have a 4K tranny 
that came out of my car going in and that will take care of the low-end and 
off the line that I want. I am running the 40MM intake and I personally think 
the 50MM is a waste of time. The only time a 50MM would be good is for a 
turbo or supercharger because of the extra volume of air. The 40MM is perfect 
for a all-motor setup because it increases air velocity over the 50MM. I 
definitely see you losing alot of low end with the 50MM because of your setup 
unless you plan on running you car in 4th or 5th at high RPM's (above 6K) all 
the time like Winston Cup cars do also with your R&P which I am assuming is 
like 4.25 or 4.40. 

Worst case you can try the 50MM and always remove it later if you don't like 
it. Mine has enough torque for me. I know I will gain alot with my 4K but I 
will suffer some gas mileage around town but not like I am now. 
Good luck.
