Hey Jake what do you have for us on the MPG engine Options

[LarryR]

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)

OOPS. I really didn't mean to ask that. At the beginning of my post I said I had more research to do, and typed that out in question form instead of statement form that it was one of the things I was researching. Both Jake's site and Tunacan have been a great help in IDing parts.
Mr. HAM Inc posted to me in another thread that it didn't matter which 1.7 head I had, that I should just build with what I can afford, what I have if I can't afford something new (or something like that. really friendly and helpful advice, thank you sir)

So, thank you Jake, Tunacan man, and Mr Ham inc, Rich (for pointing out the link up top) It's making my research go much easier, as I have a tendency to research things several times when I get paranoid that my memory is failing from having certain health issues.

So, again, thank you for the help. I will make sure not to play jeapordy in my posts now.
