buy cylinders with piston set, keep original muffler and keep original airbox, rejet carbuartor and you should have about 32HP, fine tuning with powertube would get you up to 35HP.
PS I assume that you can find these cylinder sets easy in France. _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged |

Oh ok... so no need to change the muffler and the airbox... I thought it would have made a difference, but if it's not the case... I won't do it then... Better for my wallet
For the parts I can indeed get them in france, but as it is an english forum, I thought I was better to put english refecence
By any chance, who knows the original compression ration of the 2cv engine (602cc)? _________________ Nothing else's better than a 2CV custom!!!

compression 2cv 602cc depends on engine, old ones are 1:8,5 the last version is 1:7 if I am not mistaken. Last engine compression was lowered to better cope with octane 95. But according to an old instruction manual old engine should be able to run on octane94 _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged |

7.1
As mine is from 1987 this is probably what I have... so going from compression ratio 7.1 to 9.1 should be a nice improvment _________________ Nothing else's better than a 2CV custom!!!

Actually the engines are 1:8,5(m28/1) and 1:9,0(M28). You should have about 32 hp with the 1:9 pistons without anything else changed... |

Just look at you're engine plate for the engine type, and then have a look at this web-site:
http://www.cats-citroen.net/citroen_atypes/enginegearbox.html
The standard airfilter and exhaust system is what I understand, more than good enough for a standard or light tuned 2CV-engines.
A "sporting" airfilter only makes you belive you have more power because of more noise
The best way for a bit more power, is as you say, higher compression.
Most 2CV's from the 80's have 8,5:1 in compression. I think you can feel the differense buying a 9:1 kitt. And then you also have new piston and rings!
I also want to try this in combination with the 9:1 kitt:
http://www.pp-2cv.be/EN/News/Soufflante.htm
It's a copy of the setup on Dyane. Maybe that makes a differense too?
Anyone here tryed it? _________________ 2CV x3

Thats what I called the powertube, this can give you extra 1 to 2 HP depending on correct setup of carb.
You can go up to 39HP with diffeten camshaft en compression 1:10. _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged |

Hi silc,
I would say get off those pieces.
Higher compression pistons and barrels is definatly worth it, only try to get them from good quality manyfacturer... argentinan ones are no good, as one of my friends found out
Also get that particular 2 in 1. I'm preaching for my own church as a couple of friends and I have developed this piece. However I can say it really works as rolling road testing (obviously with correct jets) gave about 10% torque increase from about 3000rpm to 5000rpm. You can also buy these exhausts from Pierre Focant from Belgium (he may be at Spa I'm not sure).
Finally a sports filter combined with a power tube will also give some more power, price you pay here is indeed noise...
Please remind that when changing exhaust and airfilter you should set the jets as well. Also don't forget that all times you start with a healthy and correctly adjusted engine. If that is not the case do that first, you'd be surprised what a full service can do. |

Hi!
I have Dyane engine in my 2cv, so an AM2 and 9:1
This works perfectly fine and it's really reliable. My engine is more than 200 000 km, never been opened, doesn't leak oil...
Only problem, I can't success to check the ignition well with the unleaded 95. So I use the 98 and then it's fine. But I'm not a all a mechanic specialist!
So that's my experience. _________________ www.super2cv.com |

Hello Bartje,
The pistons and barrels set that I'm getting are french manufactured (from Perfect ci.) and it seams to be a good manufacture... for the air filter, I think I 'll go for it as they are not too expensive... But for the exaust, I'm actually thinking of building my own in order to obtain 2 exaust lines with 2 mufflers, etc... The only question is: is it gonna improve or decrease the performance compare to the original. At the end I know that it is a 2cv engine and I wont get much of it but I want to customise it to get a nice bubbly noise... In your note you're mensionning the tuning of the jets... what is it? The engine that I'm using is the orignal engine of my 2cv (120 000 kms) with a twin cam carburator... I'm changing the pistons and barrels, the rocker arms, the valves, all the seals and the other pieces mentioned earlier. So in my point of view the engine will be good as new... If you have more information about those jets, I whould highly appreciate it
hi Etienne,
you're saying that the you have a 9.1 too on your engine and you use unleaded 98. Is it the same as "sans plomb 98"? do you know if those kits support "sans plomb 98" instead of "super"? Or you're mixing it with some dope? if not you're gonna spoil the valves don't you?
I need to check on my side if the new valves and the pistons and barrels set are compatible with the "sans plomb"... _________________ Nothing else's better than a 2CV custom!!!

Don't worry about this! As I said the engine of my 2cv is more than 200 00km and I drove the last 80 000 km just by using 95 and 98. No prob.
The "dope" is just bullshit, 2cv engine doesn't need lead. _________________ www.super2cv.com |

two in two exhaust will give less torque at lower rpm but gives less restriction for higher rpm. To keep torque you should mount a good balance pipe (pipe between the left and right exhaust)
Instead of airfilter mount a good normal airbox with more capacity, a good airbox makes car run smoother. _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged |
