It ought to be a reliable engine, and ought to put out the stock HP. The engine comes out of a Legacy Wagon, so this will be light duty for it.
The intercooler will sit above where the cooling fan is on a stock 914. It does require a radiator to be put in the front. I don't have a cost estimate yet. I'm in denial about how much the car costs me, so I'm reluctant to work this out at this stage - I'm just working through it as I can afford bits. I'll add it up at the end - in ain't cheap though. Having said that - the actual engine conversion has not cost me all that much - most of my money to date has gone on suspension upgrades. 23mm Front Torsion Bars Koni Sports all around Weltmeister front Sway Bar New 19mm Master Cylinder Adjustable rear perches and 175 pound springs Mueller's roller bearings all around. I also need to go 5 lug and get some decent brakes on the thing - my brakes just don't bite. They will lock up the wheels, but they don't feel like modern brakes do. I plan to get either M or S calipers up front. Not sure about the rear - might stay stock or try and get something vented. |
