Compression of 9.5:1, this kit offers a noticeable and usable increase in power. Using the R80 models with 32mm CV Bings as a example, this kit typically shows a real output increase from 49HP to 59-63+, depending on carburetion, ignition, camshaft fitted etc.
Very usefully, this Conversion kit eliminates the typical BMW torque dip between 4000 and 5000 rpm.
Thanks to its modern materials and very accurate machining and tighter tolerances offered by new technologies, not only this kit offer a noticeable improvement in performance but also a longer working life and quieter running.
Particularly attractive option if your engine cylinders bores/pistons are worn out as this kit offers a straight replacement at lower cost of the original replacement components.
For full performance advantage, we would suggest fitting a Sports Camshaft and our Dell'Orto carburettor Conversion Kit. Please see our other listings or contact us for more details.
