I have a 1988 (Super) S-eta that I am considering turning into a very mild stroker. I have pulled out the parts of http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?p=920959#post920959 that I think apply, and have re-posted them in this post. Because that thread started off as mostly an upgrade thread to the motronic 1.3, it got a bit confusing, and I think it tried to answer too much, dealing with i, e (eta), and s-eta motors all in the same thread.
Several points seem to be slightly off with what I have read elsewhere in the forums, including that thread. I will edit this post to try to ask clarifying questions about the concerns that I have. Any help would be appreciated.
As I already have the motronic 1.1, i exhaust, and domed s-eta pistons, my build should be greatly simplified versus the pre-88 builds, correct?
Now, on to the real questions. Here is what I think it the relevant portion of the original post:
Based on what I have read, some things that are listed as "optional" are really more required than what is losted above. I have moved or added the bold entries. Am I missing anything?
This woud be my preferred setup.
This only applies if you switch ONLY the motronic unit, not if doing an actual stroker (i head/cam) install, correct? So if I am doing a stroker build, isn't this note is essentually moot? I'd think so, because I will already be digging into the top end, so I need to do the dual valve springs when I do the i head and the 1.3 conversion.
Also,
09/87 and newer build dates (basically the S-eta 1988s) do not need to worry about this, correct? Also, i will be using an i head (as opposed to an eta), so won't I be fine?
Did I understand that correctly?
A post by etaSport indicated that an i (or larger) fuel pump may not be necessary, even with 17.5# injectors. Did I read that correctly? Edit: I may have mis-read that. I now think he was referring to the fuel pump, not the injectors.
This does not apply to 1988 eta owners, does it? The Motronic 1.1 that we have already has the correct plug, right?
This is among non-super eta owners, correct? S-eta owners might as well do the cam, ecu, springs, and anything aft of the motor, as they see fit.
