What you have is a little bit different than a TypeIV motor in a 914. We/they say "you can't turbo a 914" mostly as a tongue in cheek inside joke. With a 914, there is no easy fit of the turbo and all the associated plumbing and some sort of induction style (carbs? EFI?) due to the mid engine placement. In your pic, you have a "tail dragger"/rear engine so you are not looking to "turbo a 914", you're looking to turbo a TIV located as a rear engine and I think it will be fairly easy to do your situation due to engine location. Still, since it's not a TypeI, you will be going into some uncharted territory and may have a bit more fabrication than a typeI. Keep us informed about your project....
PS: where in VA are you? |
