Jake settle down...I wasn't dissin you or your parts, I'd love it if I could afford them, The point is I can't, because they are not inexpensive....TO ME....
I build Small Block Chevys and I buy engine kits for $250.00. so $3000.00 seems like a lot of cash to me! I'm sorry that you don't like my opinion, but if you can read my posts without thinking I'm pissing on your good name you will see it wasn't ment to be malicious. The reason I bought a 914 to begin with is #1 I love em #2 I thought they where reliable #3 I thought they where inexpensive to repair As it turns out only number 1 applys My perception of you and your business is this, Your very good at what you do, you do only the very best work with the very best parts and it all costs a lot of money...now tell me you've never heard that before?

Levi,
Sorry for snapping. Sometimes I just take things the wrong way. Thank you for the compliments. I am not an egotistical asshole.. I mean to get a point across. I'm not here to sell stuff, most of my sales come from guys that don't even own a computer! |

I do things... Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California |
Yes, Levi, nicely put.
High quality is always high dollar. We all have to decide where the dollars go. Unfortunatly, we all tend to prove it to ourselves and end up spending more time and money in the long run. I see this everytime I tear out a failed tile job done by a novice. I think human nature is the factor we're seeing here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I like to refer to it as " shopping for Porsche on a Pinto budget ". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) We all do it. KT |

914 Freak! Group: Retired Admin Posts: 20,179 Joined: 13-March 03 From: Grand Rapids, MI Member No.: 419 Region Association: None |
I would guess stock 2.0 FI or 40 IDFs would work well, depending on the cam. You could go with aftermarket FI as well. I'll bet the cam can be adjusted to your induction needs.

Times a wastin', get wrenchin'! Group: Members Posts: 3,896 Joined: 24-July 04 From: Dayton, Ohio Member No.: 2,388 Region Association: None

Jake, You thinking of doing any other kits, I need to get a good 2.2L four togther for the class I am going to be running in.
Really 2.199999999 you get the idea. anyway I like short stroke big bore engines, I currently run an nice 2069 just about like you are specing. Don't want to do the 6 sing, like driving the 4 like I stole it. Anyway, I know you are booked, so if you where to spec out a 2.19999 what would it be, need to build before next March. I am thinking 103 Nickies and 1.8L bottom end with 2.0L heads, I know you don't give out your cam grinds, so I will have ta go that alone, and hope for the best. Have the tools and like you been doing it since I was a kid, not 10 like you, I was 6, when I started wrencing on 914s. Engine rebuilds came at age 14. Waiting for your DTM 914 conversion and some other small parts. Thanks! |

I can do any size "kit" that you want. I can get you right to 2199.9 if you want!
