Volumex on 1600 mirafiori engine
Posted: June 15th, 2015, 10:15 am
Hello
Friend and I are considering mounting Lancia Beta 2.0 Volumex on his 1.6 131 engine.
Unit is complete, intake manifold, blower, carb, linkage...
Crank front pulley is missing, but idea is to raise speed of blower for 7% as you recommend.
Front puley from Argenta is available (it has teeths for power steering pump), can it be used?
If not, what are specifications for pulley to raise the speed for 7%?
Idea is to put STD flat head 2.0 pistons in 1.6 to achieve lower CR.
Head will be ported, with bronze shortened giudes and EX valves from Lancia turbo.
Intake valves STD 41,5 or 43 if you recommend.
Cams will be STD from 1.6 131, maybe from 132 2.0 (more lift).
Carb will be STD Weber 36 (already fitted), DCNF 40 is also available.
Engine is suppose to run on LPG, to avoid detonation and hot starting problems.
Ignition will be digiplex.
How many HP can be expected?
Any suggestions for engine set up?
