Read the whole thread if you are interested in new and improved....(400 grams lighter) 2.0L rods for your 914. Jake is talking about $280.00 a set, but it won't happen unless he gets enough buyers lined up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) For that price you could afford to put a set on the shelf and keep them for the next rebuild. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I'm buying at least 2 sets....who else wants to see this happen ? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

These rods don't exist yet. To do so requires people commit $$$ for 50 sets. The monetary commitment hasn't happened yet. So far it is emailing Jake with "I'm in for a set"
There'd be some increase in power, and the motor would wind up/down faster. The big deal is that stock rods are heavy, and the stock rod bolts are weak(ish?). These rods would have less weight and stronger bolts, resulting in better longevity at high RPM. Or am I just full of (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bs.gif) |
