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) |

The thread on super MPG was on my forum when it was hosted at www.shoptalkforums.com
The site is down right now, so I can't rab the link, but my entire old forum is there in archive form. Its been a while since we had a chat on my community about MPG and its time we have one. I'll put some time into the big picture of the plan and post something next week that can be universally applied to all my TIV applications. The 1911 is THE way to go... For once I am trying to do something that you guys can afford, and then you want to pay more! This could be done for much less than 5K. |

What else do I need? Taller velocity stacks? Helium foot instead of a lead one? or were the carbs a mistake? No worries, I'll be cheap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) and you're going to post a link to your MPG thread, like you did with the 1.7/1.8 to 2.0 stuff? |
