Af16 Assistance / Build
Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2019 11:24 am
I want to do a mild build on an AF16 that I picked up this summer.
It currently runs, but there is a leak from mr crank seal. I have a new one ready to press in. Cant see anything leaking on the stator side. The thing is just a turd though. I bought an NCY / V8 style pipe for it and it did nothing good really, but I think the engine just needs built up again. Thats fine. I traded for an AF05 pipe in the meantime.
I want to run a Contessa because i can get one for like 130 bucks and thats pretty impressive IMO.
I figure I might as well do gears while im at it, but not 100% sure which ones are going to be the best trade off. Im NEVER going to ride this on the highway, but having the ability to do more than 45 from time to time would be coolio. I assume 9.8:1 would be best?
Ive read different threads talking about redline on different bores. I would like to get a pipe that lines up with this well. I think it was harleyracer that linked me to an ebay pipe that looks nice, but I dont really know where it turns on or what to expect in that regard. I wanna make sure I have a pipe that pairs well.
Intake Manifold I dont suppose it matters a while lot, but I thought about getting a stage6 or something nice, though it looks like treats has a few options that are cheaper.
Ive seen it mentioned a few times to get a Polini 24 for the carb. Dunno if anyone has opinions there.
Would it be worth it to do ZX trans also? Where would I get parts?
