Turbo 914?????? Options

[ne14914]

I am thinking of adding a Turbo Unit to my 914. It currently is a 1973 F.I. 1.7. I am getting different opinions and need some input.

Are there any kits for a 914, and if so, where can I purchase one?

Should I keep my F.I. or convert to a Weber Carb?

Will I have to fabricate any parts - and if so - what?

Do you recommend any reliable mechanics in the Los Angeles area? I live in San Bernadino County but commuting is no big deal.

For those of you that have a Turbo Unit - what problems can I expect from it? Is it reliable?

Thanks for the feed back.

Thanks;^)

>>One last question, what did you do to the engine internally (specs.) to handle this power?<<

The engine is basically stock. The pistons and cylinders are Mahle US spec 94mm with Deeves rings. The rods have ARP bolts. all internals have been balanced. The oil pump is a Melling Hi Volume unit. And I have .060 copper head gaskets. Static compression works out to be 8.3:1 And a WebCam #73 grind with Web lifters.

I have the stock oil cooler on the engine and a remote cooler mounted up front. Oil temps stay at 180-190f most of the time. In the summe rat the track I run 200-210f. Heads run at 300-350f.

Yup, thats how it starts.
