Title: Bare minimum requirements for a Web 86C? Post by: Matt Tobias on November 28, 2015, 22:39:15 pm For a good street engine with no strip time.
Thinking 42x37 DRD heads, 2276, 10.5:1, 48 IDF's with 40 vents, 1x5/8" exhaust(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/tobiism/67%20project/6555589_zpspg8k2aa0.jpg) (http://s12.photobucket.com/user/tobiism/media/67%20project/6555589_zpspg8k2aa0.jpg.html) Title: Re: Bare minimum requirements for a Web 86C? Post by: neil68 on November 30, 2015, 02:40:43 am I ran a Web 86C with CB 044 Ultra Mag Plus oval-port 42 x 37 (looked similar to your photo), Weber 48 IDA's, 42 vents and 10.5:1 CR and 1 5/8" header. It was an excellent hot street Beetle, but required 91 octane (94 when at sea level).
(Later, I elected to have 44 mm intakes installed and moved up to 1.75" exhaust, but that was done in order to race at our Friday night Street Legal drags).

Heads were 42x37 044's (hand ported), and I had 10.6:1 - previously had an 86B at IIRC 9.5:1 and it felt so much better with the 86C and the extra compression. Very drivable, I used it daily for a 45 mile commute when my every day car broke. Title: Re: Bare minimum requirements for a Web 86C?

I consider using a 86B in a street driven 2165ccm engine. Thanks! Best rgs BB Title: Re: Bare minimum requirements for a Web 86C?

Best rgs BB To be honest nothing at all BB, the car was great with it in there, but the block was apart for a bearing change and I had the parts so thought I would try the change. Definitely quicker (as you would expect) with the more aggressive cam and CR, and not just by a little bit, it seemed a whole different engine. Title: Re: Bare minimum requirements for a Web 86C?
