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? |

Turbo's and nitrous both boost output on an engine that cannot produce that power naturally.
It takes skill to get an extra 50 hp or more outa an engine by tweaking the heads, the ports, the valve sizes, and the exhaust- reliably. I first saw that with my friend's Formula Ford. For the Formula Ford cars, they took a Ford Cortina block, strapped Cosworth DOHC heads on it with a tuned exhaust and webers and it went from an anemic stock 75 hp up to a reliable 150 hp. Could you strap a turbo on that 75 hp stock Cortina block and increase HP? Yep, but it will never perform like the ultra efficient Cosworth heads/exhaust combo. Well, maybe for a short time. With the stock combo, you would be blowing through a soda straw to try to overcome the flow resistances/inefficiencies of the stock engine (stock ports, heads and exhaust). Ken |
