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. |

Do a search for bike engined cars (BEC) on google. Specifically take a look at what locost builders are doing. (Those guys are champions at coming up with engineering solutions on a budget)
You can chain drive the wheels like in a radical sports car but that needs maintenance to keep tensions and alignments in check. Alternatively (but add weight) you can use a RWD diff and fab a short prop/drive shaft to drive the rear wheels. |
