hey first and foremost im new to the world of 914's, but ive been an avid aircooled vw fan for 2 years now(im 18 now). so here's my question. what should i look for when buying a 914? what years engine size fuel injection or carbs? im planning on making it my daily driver/hill climb car. i can bore out engines for performance but i was wondering if there is a bolt on turbo kit or do you have to fabricate all the header tubing etc. looking foreward to gain some knowledge from the wise 914 owners

The main things to look for:
1-- rust 2-- rust 3-- some sort of engine 4-- rust 5-- four wheels attached somehow 6-- rust ...You thought Bugs rusted? 914s may even be better at it than them. Fuel injection is original; carbs are easier for some people to deal with, an are typically more compatible with lumpy cams. There is no turbo "kit" currently offered, but a few people have put together setups that have worked well. You can build any size Type IV engine on any Type IV crankcase, so don't stress too much on exactly which engine you start with. --DD |
