Jakes looking at making these kits available for what's a really reasonable price.
Here's the details: Engine Thread on Jakes Forum I'll put them together for cheap labor. He's only making four right now, but email him for details. |

Trekkor,
I saw the pictures of your motor. I recently finished doing a similar conversion on my car. I did everything except the machine work to put case savers in the case and the heads myself. I also kept it simple with a 2.0L in E trim. I won't be real surprised if you can get the running for $4000. I will be real surprised if your setup survives more than 2 summers of being wailed on at track days, autocrosses, and general street driving. Mine didn't. I'm not saying it won't, I'm just saying the cards are not stacked in you favor. My experience is installing an old six is WAY more risky than doing some basic hop up stuff on a type 4 with average mechanical skills and average tools. Here's what I learned: 1. only use the hose diagram in the part number list to plumb your oil tank. 914 tanks (both factory and Vellios) have the opposite plumbing from a 911 tank. The diagram in the 914-6 factory manual shows 911 tank plumbing. 2. Do not use a quick six mounting bar if you intend to drive the car like a man. My Patrick mount lasted 5 autocrosses with 205-50 R compound tires. The engine movement bent my shift linkage, ruined cables, and bent by engine tin. I look forward to hearing how you conversion goes. Kelly |
