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.

Yes I agree that its a bunch of new parts for $8 to $10K if your going for the 200 HP kit, but its not a running engine. $10K plus for a 170 HP engine that we have no idea whether 170 hp was generated with stock, improved or modified headers from Tangerine or if it was with carbs or the $2800 FI. Required upgrade to heavy duty clutch. Up to $1000 more for machining or core if you dont have them, plus the shipping of all these items back and forth. When you add the undisclosed costs and possiblility of machining or core the ticket to the game gets a lot more expensive. Approaching $15K This post was originally focused on the cost of a 170 hp T4. I would just like to see some honesty about the entire conversion costs associated with the claimed output. And how long before one of Jakes engines isnt considered brand new anymore? Brand new is over rated in my opinion. |
