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? |

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 totally agree (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) , but 200HP is a lot more fun! Do a Subaru EZ30D conversion and watch the Type 4 blues disappear in your tire smoke!
