Hi Gents,
I recently purchased by "mistake" a EB-Engine for my 181 thing. I was told it to be the US-Version of the 1.7 80hp W-engine, but now I learned, that EB is the Californian Version with lower compression and 72hp.
My questions are:
- What are the differences between EA and EB?
- How is the lower compression achieved?
- Can I easily rise rompression or make the EB work like a EA?
I´d like to use the engine as it is, i.e. a 1.7 with fuel injection, but the EA has more torque and thus makes more fun, I assume ...
These are the specs I found:
W, EA: 8,2 : 1
EB: 7,3 : 1
W, EA: 132 NM bei 2700 U/min
EB: 121 NM bei 2700 U/min
W, EA: 59 kW (80 PS) / 4900
EB: 53 kW (72 PS) / 5000
Thanks in advance.
FF
