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.

ahhhhh....lol... now you guys got me second guessing myself... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) .. its ok though thats what makes this so fun. on the first note i dont want to just go out and buy the car with the 6 already in it because i would like the experience of building my own. as far as budget. i still have to decide this. if im going to go for very good rebuilt 6 i would be willing to dish out 8k. as for jakes 4 with the reputation he has and his great posting to my questions ( thank you jake) i would also be prepared to spend that much. if i get greedy for cheep power, i assume i can do a v8 swap for under 6k.
quick question for all my fellow 914 fans. im going to be using the car for the street and autocrossing i dont care about beating the guy next to me in his tricked out honda. plus im not a fan of street racing. how much power do i need i would like more power than i have now but i dont know how much. what do all of you think of your current configurations and with the use i want for my car what power would be aceptable. i do realize this all comes down to my personal preference but i could really use some advice. i mean ive ridden in a ford lightning and that had about 360hp and over 450tq it was fun but is it really necessary or worth the extra money in gas..lol...any input would be greatly appriciated. thanks again for all the help. |
