NQ(and others).
Glad to see the list here. It reminds me of my relatives, don't talk for
5 years and then pick right back up like it was yesterday.
I've trimed my herd down to my 68 sedan(megasquirted 1776 turbo) and a 72
KG 1914. The turbo is newely back on the road after cracking a cylinder
at 12psi...my fault though and another long story about what NOT do do
in a hurry with your exhaust on a turbo.
NQ, to answer your first question(the one that started this).
I really don't think you could pass enough air and gas thru a 34pict to
feed a 2 liter for very long. My bet is that the jetting and idle circuit
adjustments/changes would be a nightmare....even with a limit of 4000 rpm.
Might be an interesting exercise though.
Think about the throttle body on a 2L bus engine and the teeny tiny carb
off of a 1200cc. VW always managed their horsepower by adjusting the carb
venturi size and the exhaust pipe size...mostly for longetivity as many of
us have learned over the years.
On the other hand! Wasn't it Bill May who always touted the torque coming
out of a mildly modified single port? Seems like he always believed that
the single port made more torque down low than the dual port.
Ya didn't say what you wanted to put this engine in, but I'm thinking it
wasn't something you were going to put on the hiway.
Go back to the "famous" hot vw's 1776 daily driver beginings and I think
they tested with a 34pict to start with...they had dyno numbers also.
Now, time to tell *why* you want an engine like that!
Cheers, dave
