This is a RAT 200HP turn key in action in a 914. The engine was our 2.4L AX special, making all it's power by 6,500 RPM.. It runs stock cooling too!
Listen to that beast!! He ended up taking top time of the day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y13C3v2L788&feature=user And this is the same car on the track at a DE.. Watch all those water pumpers get their doors blasted!!! (this video was posted a couple weeks ago here, just a comparison to how an engine can be "Dual purpose") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uFRrbjy_pM&feature=user Posting anything on forums other than my own opens up doors for people to deem something "advertisement".. Well this video is worth the blame and any flames that may arise from them.. I stand ready. Safety off. :-) This post has been edited by Jake Raby: May 19 2008, 12:37 PM |

I have no problem with 6s or 4s. As long as it is a Porsche appropriate motor for a 914, then that is great.
As for the V8 conversions....well......that is another matter. We had three at our last AX. One broke.......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) , one was being driven very slowly and one is just being figured out, and does not have near enough tire under it for the motor in the engine bay. I have yet to see a v8 conversion do well at an AX...maybe some day. just too much for the chassis in stock form... |

You just can't argue with the sound of the v8 though, gets them panties right off. |
