Re: [T3] Is a 1776cc practical in a squareback w/FI?


ive seen other 1776s with the d-jet.  it works fine. 
just remember that you need to keep the compression
ratio at 7.7:1 for the d-jet to work properly.  also i
would suggest taking GBs advice with a healthy grain
of salt.  i have herd of plenty of 1776s and even
stroker motors with CR in the 8:1 range in type3s that
have ran just fine and lasted just as long as a bug
engine.  just remember in a type3 keep the bore at
90.5 or smaller(1776, 2007, 2110 all work fine).

from the sources ive seen GB engines(super low
compression ratio with semi-hemi heads) are VERY hard
to tune, they run hot, and they tend to get poor fuel
economy as they have to be run very rich, and they
dont produce much power.  if your running carbs you
can get away with CR in the 8:1 range on a street car.
 just remember the FI needs 7.7:1
