Just curious if anyone has dropped a newer (mid 90s) Honda Civic engine in a 914?
I have a 96 1.6l engine, harness, fuel injection, all hardware and also have a turbo charger laying in the corner of the garage..... The combo should put down a very reliable 250 hp and just had the gears turning in my head about the thought of it. |

Which type of honda engine do you want to use? The D-/B- and H- series spin the "wrong" way , The S2000 F20 engine and all the K-series spin the "right" way and do not require you to flip the diff.
For your info: The H22 is much heavier than the B16 and prone to oil starvation damage, So is the B18, The best and strongest engine is the B16, that is for the old generation. You can boost it, charge it and as long as take very good care of the fuel injection part, that is, the right mixture/ecu program, you can beat the hell out of it... Stay away from the D-series, unless you mod the hell out of them for big bucks, they will yield too little of HP profit. For what it's worth: forget the old generation and because you're in the USA, the K-series are cheap. no flipping the diff hassle and it is truely an amazing engine!! Charge it, get a K-Pro ecu and you'll never go back to the aircooled stuff ( no offence guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). Do not expect V8 torque, but high rpm fun with hp figures perfect for the 914. Also a good option is the Honda S2000 F20 engine. Almost identical to the K20 with a few minor differences, swap a K20 valvecover and camgears and this engine can also use the K-pro ecu.... stock 240HP 9k rpm.... I've been building Honda engines for over 20 years now and I still think it's one of the best ever........ Randall |
