Possibly. Need to run some errands. Text me beforehand.

I'm on a phone, sorry, but what's so "kewl" about seta engines again opposed to regular e's?

[ak-]

From what I understand:
2.7 bottom
885 head with a gay cam
Single v springs
Unique intake manifold, slightly different than an e though
Different injectors


Anything bottom end wise different?

[Ayman]

They're just super duper from what I found.

[yert315]

Pistons are different. Compression is between the I and e. like 8.5 or something iirc

The crank and rods are the same as Eta but the pistons are what's special and they are Super Eta specific. The Super Eta pistons are ideal because they're designed from the factory to work with the combustion chamber of the 885 cylinder head. If you throw the i cam and springs in it along with the i intake and t/b you've got a kickass 2.7i engine with torque for days. One of our customers just dyno'd his Myster-e head on a Super Eta bottom end and did 168 to the wheels, not bad!

PS: My turbo engine has Super Eta pistons. :)

[mcr_driver]

eta crank, domed pistons better compression ratio for boost with a I head ideal budget stroker. even n/a some decent power gains. most times on par with m50's

Phew! Thanks Matt!

:p Razzzzzz.

When doing a 13 button OBC swap they have to be from the same model correct? Since I have an i I can only use OBC from other "i" and "is"?

168 wheel? no shit. i need to get on this train.

im hoping to make at least 150wph , eta bottom end, shaved/rebuilt head , stock cam/injectors. Alpina b3 chip (copy). Power kicks at 2400rpms :D tq for days and nights :D

Lets just say, 3rd gear chirp all day any day. Still running the small eta exhaust system and eta dualmass flywheel.
