I have been plagued by a series of issues over the last few years with getting my T4 running well. Some of it due to my screw ups, some just bad luck.
I keep thinking how nice it would be to have an engine that just starts and runs, and has more power. Subie maybe. But I sure like the couple of Honda V6 conversions I have seen. Anyone here that has done a conversion and regretted it? |

QUOTE(914_teener @ Sep 28 2017, 08:24 AM)  Just send it to Mark and do the rest yourself....Type 4. A comversion will take more that a year. 100 HP is plenty of fun for a 914. My .02. I'd second that. The good news is you can send him a motor and he can send you one back. Sounds like your time frame is far enough out it may work out. The conversions you are looking at can easily get into the 5k range and involve a lot of modifications. I well sorted out T4 can produce reliable power and you can tweak it to get a little more power out of it than stock, the more you tweak the more it costs. My 73 2.0 I had in high school was more dependable that all my friends cars and I got 25MPG! all stock. The value of your car will also be higher, if heaven forbid, you even have to sell it. |
