I'm kicking around the idea of upgrading my 914-6 that currently has a stock 2.0 engine in it. It a 914 conversion that has an original six in it with Webers. I like the idea of more hp & the motronic fuel injection. What am I getting myself into if I take on this project over the winter? What parts will I need to buy or replace. Tranny is a 901 with LSD.
- Engine with wiring harness - DME - Flywheel/clutch? - Engine mount? - ??? Anyone document their 3.2 install |

Bigger brakes. Bigger wheels. Flares. Chassis stiffening.
Make sure your car can stop as fast as it can go. Zach |

Flares. Chassis stiffening. Zach I have neither and all is well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I don't think it is accurate to say that if you have a 3.2 that have to flare your car... |

Yeah, but......you frequently are operating at altitudes that cost you 20% or more of your HP. If you lived at sea level, I'd be more serious about getting some reinforcements in your chassis. |
