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. |

Shift and clutch linkage is easy. You could go with a hydraulic clutch and use the stock hydraulic clutch setup, Or you could keep it cable and go that route. Shifting should be done via cable. The honda setup is PERFECT for a cable system.
Also you could easily keep the front trunk, And some of the rear trunk (Basically enough to throw tools, a jacket and the targa top). Like I said you only have to deal with the radiator, and you could easily go with a 1/2 radiator and if you really wanted to you could mount it in front of one of the rear fenders and make a cutout. Using a fan you would have all the cooling you need, the honda engines run REALLY cool. |
