Well I have been staring at my 914 for a while, and contemplating options........
The reality has sunk in that I dont want another turbocharged car on standalone fuel injection. I saw the 2600$ price tag for the renegade hybrids LS1 kit. I am pretty much dead set on dumping a bone stock LS1 longblock into the car with an edelbrock carb manifold and a holley double pumper of some sort and the edelbrock/msd retro kit. I will convert to a high flow low pressure carb friendly pump and bam, I will never need more power. If I do, heads and cam will make an easy 450whp. Are there other options than the renegade hybrids kit? Who out there is using one? These questions are just a start, I am still wondering about chassis bracing and so forth as I don't feel like tearing my 914 apart after a few hundred miles of fun driving and autocross. |

From what I've read (mostly in some of Jake's posts); The shifter and cables would be an easy integration into the 914. Probably a lot easier than shift linkage. Stock Boxster S cables, Stock Boxster S shifter, Custom mount built in the right spot for your right hand.
Did you already do a five lug conversion? Did you check out Eric's thread on the five lug conversion? He addresses some key axle issues there that would be a worthy read. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...view=getnewpost The cost range on the Boxster S transaxles that I've seen on ePay run from $2k - $3k. (I've been watching them because I want to put one behind my V6) |
