Without the euro cam, is there any benefit to running a euro head?
Very good condition. Pulled from low milage running car. Asking $300 obo + shipping.

Add this plus the Euro cam and you might net 10-15HP total. The Euro cam is for a carburetor, but according to Steve C in Australia, it plus US bone stock FI should still have an acceptable idle and give you the feel of added lower end torque, maybe costing you a teeny bit of top rpm. You'd need to find a place for the Thermotime switch however since this head does not have a spot for it.
My guess is that if you did a little clearancing of the intake ports to mimic an FI head, just adding this to an existing FI car would probably add 5-7 HP just from the compression boost.
Thanks for the interest Kevin. I will try to get a quote for you, during my lunch break, tomorrow.I may be interested. Can you give me an estimate on freight cost to 01545 zip?
Thanks
Kevin.
Great thanks. Question; noting the exterior mods that are required (Thermontime) is this a bolt on performance upgrade or will there be some machining required to really squeeze out the 5-7 HP increase? In short I want to just bolt this one onto my existing '86 FI motor and go! Preferably quicker
I like that: An FI car with a "Choke" knob.The cold start valve could be operated with a simple momentary closed switch or button, and the AAV's function of allowing air to pass thru hoses could be accomplished with a cable-operated heater control valve.
I didn't get to the post yesterday. In to work early and left work late. I'll do it today and pm you. Thanks
No mods needed. This head is oem for X1/9, so all accessories parts are the same as US spec.Since this is a 1500 head does it have a three bolt thermostat housing pattern? I had to make a 3 to 2 bolt housing adapter for the Punto head I used on my 1.9.
I do not see any pictures of the thermostat side. That might help a little as i know there are many T-stat styles out here.No mods needed. This head is oem for X1/9, so all accessories parts are the same as US spec.
