Title: 1641cc or 1678cc ??? Post by: Felix/DFL on September 27, 2007, 22:05:35 pm Hi,
a good friend of mine wants to go this or that way.He has a mild 1586cc with decent headjob,webers,W110 and all that "normal" stuff...Now the pistons need tho be replaced so a good time to go for more cc. I am a bit curious cause there is a thick and a thin version of the 1678cc Mahle Kit. I know that the thin 1678cc Kit is not a very good choice but never heard some voices about the thick version,or I forgot it ;) Any good advices what way to go ? Best greetings, Felix Title: Re: 1641cc or 1678cc ??? Post by: Georg/DFL on September 27, 2007, 22:50:30 pm You never heard someone saying something about 88 thick walls?
Felix, my old engine used to be a 1678 before I turned it into a 1776 - what I thought it has been before. :( But that was the only downside. I used that engine for I guess around 30000 Kilometer wihout any problems. Later on I gave the 88s to Sven in exchange for a swiss cheese fondue! 8) Thick walls yes, thin walls no!

Thin Wall 88's run hot and the barrels Crack , CB Performance sells the thick wall 88's

Title: Re: 1641cc or 1678cc ??? Post by: Felix/DFL on September 28, 2007, 14:12:43 pm I even would go for 1776 but my friend wants to keep the "halves" together.
That`s even the reason why I never thought about a 1678 combination with only a few bucks more you have a 1776cc ! So I never minded about think thin and so on ;D Greetz |
