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? |

Paul,
It says it's a 2332cc turbo injected engine- aka it needs a crutch to get that level of efficiency and power. If power levels are equal, a turbo engine will never be as efficient as a non-turboed engine. Car manufacturers such as Volvo have been doggy engines and boosting their output with a turbo. Take off the turbo, and it's still a dog. Putting it another way, the power of that 2332cc turbo engine is WAYYYYY less without the turbo. Ken |
