I thought I read a posting that listed all the different types of 914 conversions done over the years. I saved it but can't find it for some reason.
Anyhow - I remember there being a 914 SHO V6 in the list. Does anyone know who has done one of these - not just thought about it, but actually built one? I'll go it alone if necessary, but I'd be curious to discuss some approaches with someone who's been there. TIA, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

IMHO, 220 hp isn't enough of a gain to bother with. Your adding hp but the negitive effect is the high roll center change. I'd do a Subi before a Sho. cool intake though.

I'd do a Subi before a Sho. cool intake though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) No question it is a great motor. But when it is a lot easier to install a 300hp boxer that is lighter and keeps the CG way lower, I can't think of a reason to do it. Except that it hasn't been done yet.... Hmm. Ok, DO IT! |
