I have thought about it. Need to get the weight down as much as possible.
Hayabusa engine will run you about $3k. There are several options for differentials with limited slip and reverse in the 2-3k range. DIY no-reverse solutions are possible. Pushing a 914 out of parking spots is no big deal:) See this thread: http://www.minibuggy.net/modules.php?name=...topic&t=261 Questions I don't have answers to: How much less will the car weigh because of the engine swap? How long will the transmission/clutch last with 1500-2000 lbs to haul around? How light can you get the 914 with fiberglass fenders/hoods/bumpers/smaller gas tank/etc? Would the drivability suck after all that $ and work? Mmmmm, 13,000 rpm. The engine I'd really like to see in a 914 is this hayabusa/powertec 2.6 V8: http://www.powertecracing.com/ cheers, dug |
