My 914 is going in for some engine work and I am considering one of Jake's kits, either the 2056 140hp or the 2270 145hp package. Any thoughts any comments?
The car is going to be an aggressive weekend summer driver -- to autocross or track. I just want to drive the hell out of it. |

Those kits have evolved a bit since those numbers were put forth... Jake has recently made more HP than my 2270 with a 2056.
I have about $2500 in the Tangerine Header, another $1000 in the Dellortos. Probably another $1000 in peripheral systems and gauges. So close to the cost of the kit in "extras". I don't think you can build a 2270 and not put on the "extras" I have listed. Anything short of it and you are causing harm to the motor. For one thing, these motors seem to be very exhaust dependent. If you are not willing to spend for the extras, consider the 2056 with stockish djet. I have never driven a 2056 so I cannot claim to know one is better over the other. I just know that McMark has driven mine and his and he seems to really like mine. That says a lot to me. Chris did come back with a grin after driving mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
