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? |

If you can't get a Type 4 working why would you even tackle a conversion... Not trying to be snarky here but just frank... Type 4 are simple reliable engines and can make more that enough HP for street or track in a 914. If you're not doing stock FI then weber carbs/ manifolds and a new fuel pump is about all you need. Keep it simple. No trans adapters, radiators, etc....and on and on You know there is plenty of help here from advise and hands on work. So....hang in there.. take a deep breath and... Don't give up on the Type 4 !!! Regards....John |
