Does anyone know if they make jug kits for the 1.7? If so what hp and performance gains can be expected? Are there any other cheap performance mods for the 1.7? Thanks for the help guys.

Matteyp,
First, ask yourself why you want more HP. These cars aren't drag racers. It is about carrying speed thru the corner and accelerating to the next. If that is what you are looking for, get the suspension working best you can, get brakes working great, put some good tires on, then get some seat time driving the car. If you want a little more acceleration without modifing the engine, you could go down in tire size to like 50's or so and get a little extra grunt at the expense of gas mileage and engine wear. That 1.7 will give a lot of thrills. My first 914 has a 1.7 and it was a blast in the twisties. I had f/g flares and 235's on the rear with 215's on the front and was running 60"s so I had a little extra grunt and the tires made the car stick in the corners very good. My buddy's 1970 "6" would eat me up on the straights, but my wider and lower aspect tires would make up the ground in the corners. Tom |
