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.

Cooling the oil does not and will not cool the cylinder heads! Head temps are not of any issue- the engine is efficient enough that it doesn't generate excess heat. If you have heat issues add the 914 DTM and they are resolved.
Of course an external oil cooler is needed, for most applications- just like with a six. Its only been a matter of development. |
