As I contemplate the upgrade possibility from a 2.7rs, is it possible to put too much engine in a 914-6?
I don't want to drag race, or even do DE's in it, but I do want the best back country road driving car and one gets used to HP. What type of engine would be the optimal if I put on 8" tires? Is it possible to overdo it and end up with a less usable car? Where is the sweet spot? Is that a lot different than a 2.7rs which I have gotten used to already - hence wanting more! I would have this professionally done. |

If they feel spongy, have a pro bleed them. Ie take it to a shop to bleed the brakes. If that doesnt do it, rebuild your calipers, take out the proportioning valve (if you still have it in there) and either put an adjustable T or a regular T (both would work, but you have a little more playing around with the adjustable one's.. especially if you put bigger brakes up front.)
A 2.7 will have the grunt. I have to say, I enjoy driving my slow car fast sometimes compared to the turbo's my dad has.. Andrew |
