There's part of me that keeps thinking that a Subie 2.2L in a 914 would be a nice little car. Not massively powerful, but substantially more than a tired 2.0 TIV, and super easy to find spare parts, knowlegable mechanics, etc. Less heat to get rid of than a 2.5, better gas mileage. Maybe my next conversion... |

Reliable?
I never drove my 914 before the conversion and after Crawford performance breathed on my setup, I bought a one-way ticket to San Diego, hitched a ride to Crawford and drove it 300+ miles through the Mojave desert in July - no issues. Drove it like I stole it for a month or so in 120 degree heat, then drove it to Ventura California for GAF then to Moab with the ONLY issue bieng that I scraped the bottom and bent my radiator hose clamps and restricted the coolant flow and ever so slightly overheated on the way to GAF. Yea, I guess my car is not reliable after all... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

QUOTE(Crazyhippy @ Nov 30 2006, 08:57 PM)  only 286 so far... And i never would have considered driving to Moab w/ the stock motor. Tony I have an extra Turbo when you get the itch... also should have most of the exhaust stuff ready to bolt on... Have to do pistons and drop the Compression, or run race gas thugh :-( BJH Race gas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) My friends Audi 5000 (yes,odd choice I know) runs on a race gas blend . . . of course, its puts out way over 350hp untuned and shoots flames (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It is very fun to drive. |
