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? |

Yeah, but geez that heat issue can be a bitch. The T1 I have in my tube frame Speedster eventually needed two external 10 x12 coolers with fans in addition to the stock cooler in the doghouse and an intercooler.
NOW, it sees 200F on the highway doing 85mph and 190F at idle and cruisng down Main Street.....took me two years on a partime basis to get it right. It was fun but geez, a lot of work. A lot of BAD information out there. Especially on the Megasquirt controllers. At least I didn't tank the motor....which I have done in the past....actually I DID tank it, but that was at the beginning and it turned into a favor. I found a LOT of stoopid things done by the previous owner. On the T1 in a 914 specific application....I would think the exhaust would be the most challenging as well as a workable heater. Go for it, I'd like to see it. |
