can anyone help give me some advice on rebuilding my 1971 squareback motor. i just bought the car with 15000 original miles in completely original condition. i want to rebuild the motor so that it is as fresh and new as the rest of the car. i would like to beef up the horsepower while i have the motor out. keep in mind nothing radical at all. i have read that porting the heads as well as the intake runners and increasing displacement on the fuel injected motors is a no no because it throws off the air to fuel ratio. is this true? it makes sense to me because of the way the fuel metering is monitored by the air pressure sensor. it would have no way of knowing the more air is flowing into the motor....hence throwing off the fuel to air balance. i come from the water cooled side of vw and am very familiar to k-jetronic and ke-jetronic fuel injection but d-jetronic is new to me. could someone please shed some light on this subject for me? if so....could you give me an idea of what a good motor setup would be i.e.. crank,cam,displacement,heads,valve size ect.. one more thing before i bore everyone to death, is there an after market exhaust that will allow the use of the heater boxes? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
