 Posted: Mon May 12, 2025 10:38 am Post subject: Building a 2110 looking for some recommendations |
 |
|
So I'm building a 2110 for my early beetle, I'm going to try to cover all the questions I see on other posts to help simplify things. thank you for your input. Here are my Specs.
3.88 r&p in an otherwise stock geared 68 trans
195/70 tires
I want heat
I won't be racing the goal is a strong street car
I have these parts
new case clearanced
CB 82mm crank
CB 5.4 H beam rods
Forged Mahle 90.5 B pistons
Light chromoly flywheel
1700 lb Kennedy PP
Berg 42 special dcnf's (I know there is better but I have them)
bearings, hardware and what not
What I'm looking for is heads, cam, rockers, compression ratio.
I have built lots of stock and big bore engines but not for at least 15 years and parts availability has changed A LOT . I don't have a strict budget and I've been looking at the CB cnc ported heads but I'm here for suggestions.
Thanks again |

Tims S1 40x35 heads, web 163 cam, 1.3 rockers, aluminum push rods, and 9.3:1. ss143 VSpeed muffler
If you want to keep the heater boxes, you will need to use the bigger 1 5/8" finned heater boxes.
A better, cheaper solution is to just use a Amazon diesel heater mounted under the front hood, and run J-tubes.

Thank you sir , I have considered the diesel heater after seeing yours but I'm fine with the big heater boxes too. By "Tims" you mean Steve Tims yes? |

Steve passed away, and his son Greg now does them. Same shop, same phone number, same great heads. Greg had been working with Steve for years.

Thank you for the order!
Deck height isn't really a "see where it lands" thing. You should be making the deck height .040-.045" no matter what is needed to be done, so if you have decided on the compression, you can order the heads now.

Also, dont be sorry for the 42 DCNF´s They are very nice street carbs, and can performvery well, also fuel efficiency wise once set up properly.

I agree on the DCNF's. And they sound really bitchin' when you are getting after it. I have 40's on my daily car. They have their little quirks, but they aren't terrible. A pain to work in there, but they do run nice.
I wouldn't let Greg talk you into 42mm valves though. I think his 40x35's will be great, and I know they work good with a web 163. The rest of the combo seems quite well matched.

Brian, why don't you like the 42 intake valves is it because of I/E flow ratio? I thought Tims offered a 42x37 head with smallish intake port volume-could be wrong though. |

I'm excited to run them, I had a 2110 built using all Berg parts in the early 90's so it's nostalgia for me |

The ratios are a little wonky, but I don't think they are needed for this engine, and from what I have measured, the 40x35 has better airspeed. I am not saying the 42's suck by any means, but the 40x35 will make for a killer driver rather than an upper rpm racer. If it was a 2276, then maybe switch to the 42's.

Agree. In the 90,5 bore the 40 can be, and most likely is more efficient.
