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) |

Sure, what do you have now?? I have: no idea what cam is there. I will try and figure out what my valve train is this week. Any tips on figuring it out w/out cracking the case? The engine has zero miles on it. So I know I need to buy some break in oil. 1.7 heads that have been fly cut for the 96mm setup DRLA 36 carbs throttle linkage on its way from CB performance stock 2.0 exhaust, the engine is going in my 76 for the summer, then we're pulling it to put in the 73. What I know I need: Break in oil. What I might need: new jets for carb to match my unknown cam? |
