Ive decided to take the plunge and get a 1900 bottom end from Scholer, but im unsure what to do with the head? At the moment im running a ported, big valve vvc head (32.5mm inlet valve ,28.5mm exhaust valve) with piper exhaust cam. Throttle bodies and an Emerald. Now im still running with the vvc mechanisms and im unsure if to keep the vvc mechanism, or go for the proven 1444 cams?
BTW, The engine at the moment with standard 1800 bottom end is turning out aronud 185-190bhp
Basically, if i keep the vvc mechs i dont have any extra outlay, and if i go the 1444 cam rounte, i reckon im looking at £500 for the cams and conversion kit. What will the advantage and disadvantages of both be. I want the car to be able to do a reliable 6000-8000 miles a year, and still have good drivability
Any opinions?
