I would really like to know what you have for 914 in the way of a hi mpg, respectable performance package.
I figure the 914 should be able to kick out 40+ mpg and get a 0 - 60 time in under 7 seconds. The new tdi jetta coming available in July will go 0 - 60 in 6.9 seconds and get 41 mpg in the city and 53 on the highway. However id does weigh 3300 pounds. I figure the 914 should be able to smoke that with the 1300 pound weight advantage. I am really looking forward to seeing what you have come up with Jake. trying not to hi jack the emissions thread but keep it on 914 world (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) BTW you said you need 10 or 12 additional people. I would be # 2 ... I would gladly buy a super efficient 914 engine as opposed to buying a tdi jetta. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Yes, L Jet compatible versions would hit the ceiling at 110HP, carbs about 120.
This is a realistiically economically feasible combo that could be easily assembled- remember, we aqre looking for a good mix of power/driveability/MPG/reliability/longevity with all being equally important, hence the conservative displacement. |

Do you think adding efi to the mix could bump an additional 2 or 3 mpg vs L Jet? |
