Very nice! Cam? heads? carbs? And that's an interesting exhaust...

Looks like it is going flat early. I can see the carb linkage moving on the end but the motor just pegged out already.
What cam and heads? |

im stabbing in the dark here but id guess ported stock sized stainless valves with a 110(ish) cam
this is judging my the HP #'s and the sound of the engine..
i too saw the linkage moving and the engine not really responding which is why i think its a 110ish came something mild and reliable
im sure you will love it sounds healthy and im sure itll move that 181 around just fine annibal does good work!

iono why your excited for 24-26mpg. my 2165 made 32mpg from vegas n back to orange county. with 44idf, w-125/1.25 rockers. mild port heads 40/35.5 and that wasnt even trying for MPG i was having fun at times.
but your motor does sound good and healthy. should be good to go

Would probably make even more TQ if it didn't have a worthless exhaust...

Worthless exhaust? Elaborate please! As far as getting "excited" about the MPG, I was stating a fact. My excitement is geared toward upgrading from a very tired stocker that was probably only getting 25-30 HP, to something that can actually climb a hill.
Wheeeeee!
Specifics to follow. |

I get about 17 mpg with my 2375 cc in my dune buggy.I would be exstatic getting 24-26! She is tuned to the "t" too. If she didn't run so dang good I would be upset, but I don't drive it for mpg....

Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like the same crap exhaust sold by places like CIP1. The 'Eurosport' system is not known for performance, you'd do much better with something merged.

It's a tri-mil exhaust, specifically for the thing so that it exits through the bumper. there is still another pipe that attaches to the top pipe that comes out toward the back. I wanted to have the exhaust tucked up and under for max clearance. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but it seems as far as for the thing and keeping clearance max, there isn't alot of choices.
But of course... I may be wrong. |

don't mind Mini, if the exhaust doesn't lead from the heads to a turbo, he isn't interested....

I can't argue with that kind of logic though...

His exhaust may lead to a turbo but it makes the same power as if it were n/a. Whats wrong with this picture?

Mark, are you confused or just not communicating clearly?
