i want to replace the engine in my 914 and am confussed by my choices. i thought of the subaru or chevy v8 conversion and i dont think thats for me. im looking at a rebuilt 2.4 6 conversion from motor meister or a built 4 motor of equal hp, which is 170 hp. jake at aircooledtechnology seems to be very busy so i was wondering if any of you knew how much a 914 type 4 motor would cost to build at that hp level.

I would suggest looking into the route of a used 6. I spent a lot of time considering both T4 and 6 options.
I reviewed options from Jake and other T4 builders. T4 gets real expensive once you go beyond mild stock rebuild. Once the engine grows, your into new fuel sytems, oil coolers, etc. Buying a used six made the most sense for me. I shopped forever for the engine until a deal presented itself. The car will be worth more with a six and at the end of the day you will have spent similar amounts of money. I should have my six conversion completed soon and current estimates put it at about $6000 which includes the engine, all conversion parts and professional install. |
