I have a 2332cc Type 1 engine. It dyno'd at 210 hp and 200 ft-lbs of torque on jake Raby's dyno.
Would I be viewed as a total hack if i put this in a 914? |

I'd love to see it. I wish more people would go down this path and get setup that would work. There are so many more resources for T1's. I have a great resource for T1's builds .....no more megabuck T4's.

well, I know the type 4 is better engine, it has the ability to shed more heat, and also has a superior long block.
The type 4 is a Zippo, and the type 1 is a BIC. The advantage to the type 1 is it's cheap HP. I could use this engine until i built a proper type 4. Unlike other engine conversion, it would be completely reversible. The other advantage is i have it on hand, sitting unused and it's double the hp of the stocker. I don't think the type 1 could replace the type 4 in terms of reliability or longevity. QUOTE(grantsfo @ Jul 4 2008, 11:39 AM)  I'd love to see it.
