Following with great interest.
What is “X-Factory EFI”?
Can you describe how you clean those ugly mag cases?
Cheers,

What's involved in going from 2.2T to 2.2E/S (and what actually is E/S...)?

Tremelune,
well, that is just my description, based on the build, compared to 70/71 stock specs.

911T: compression ratio = 8.6:1
911E: compression ratio = 9.0:1
911S: compression ration = 9.8:1

This build......Mahle 9.8:1 P&Cs, E-cams, SSIs, Sport muffler, 40IDA carbs.... so , a little bit of E & S, with E-cams and S compression ratio......

S compression without the super peak of the S cams...Interesting. Anything need to be done to address knock when upping the compression, or did Porsche just detune for marketing purposes?

If I had the choice between an E or S cam I would always choose the S cam .
The myth that the E cam has more TQ is just a myth.
Just my experience with engines on the dyno.

3.0 in the house.....

Just received this 3.0 from Ohio. The owner of the engine is an EFI kit customer. and the EFI was successfully installed.... However, per the installer, the engine history was a bit unknown and it had not been run for some time and unfortunately, when he fired up the engine.....it had a bad knock and metal filings in the filter.........from the description, it sounds like a spun rod bearing or???? really won't know until I tear it down. We shall see.......


regards,
al

Hey Al,
Fun times. Following your 2.7 project with interest. I'm going down a similar path with mine in a few months.
Where are you having case machine work done? I may be able to give you a lead down here in P'Town.
Cheers,
-C
