Pics of mexican 2.2 "Formula K" car

[Mario_V]

I just found this pictures on a mexican forum.

On the late 80s there was a Formula K championship in Mexico city. All the cars used a 2.2 engine. Check them out:

[Force Fed Mopar]

Need...to find...that ITB setup! ;)

[mcsvt]

[GLHS60]

I don't know much, just little bits I´ve read. I know their 2.2s had a bigger cam (apparently from Isky), Weber 40 with free use of jets, 12:1 compression and header.

The pics aren't mine but I'll see if the person who posted them has more.

[JamesL]

Awesome pics Mario! Thx for posting them.

[R/Tony]

dang! Awesome pics! Where the hell came those cars? Havent heard of them. I want that setup also, seems to be very funny

[BadAssPerformance]

Thats badass! thanks for sharing Mario V :thumb:

Look at the size of that cam gear, they musta been running a larger crank sprocket.

[CNH320]

Where are the spark plug wires going?

[Force Fed Mopar]

Look at the size of that cam gear, they musta been running a larger crank sprocket.

Looks like a regular size gear to me, it just has the lower TBI valve cover.

[fishcleaner]

one of the bigger driving schools, Skip Barber or Bob Bondurant used to run a 2.2 open wheel car for their school, sorry I can't find any info on it, I do remember talking to the chassis builder about it.

might be a VW/porsche deal. you can get adapters from kennedy engineered products for all kinds of engines including our 2.2L's and 2.4L's and stuff to bolt to the porsche/vw style trans. http://www.kennedyeng.com/vw_por.htm

I used to race at Bob Bondurant, In fact We used to do all the replacement glass on their cars when they were wrecked. I remember the 2.2 cars.

[bakes]

I wonder what one this k racers would go like with a turbo motor in them!

C'mon,that thing dwarfs the VC and it's Aluminum...

I wonder what kind of ignition they are using, I can't see a distributor??

Thanks

Yeah I guess you're right, it is bigger. Looks like they were running some sort of coil pack or magneto setup, so maybe they used a larger crank gear for use w/ a crank trigger or something. The valve cover looks to be modified too, looks weird near the cam gear, but it clearly has the throttle cable notch in the back end though.

[bakes]

look at the rear cam plug you see a home made cam sensor. and if you look at the the spark plug wires you see they go to a dis coil .

[2.216VTurbo]

That's the first for me as well, N/A with ITB's, they must rev it to the moon to make power eh?:eyebrows:

[iTurbo]

Looks like the Weber DCOE dual sidedraft setup to me. Not that uncommon.

[BadAssPerformance]

Absolutely awesome, great find! Thanks for sharing!

[Dr. Johny Dodge]

well now I know where / what those particular upswept intake manifolds are from / for

- the usual little weber manifolds from the DC catalog won't fit with a TU turbo manifold
(the lowest carb flange bolt boss hits)
