Help. I've got my 914 running, but I feel that it needs alot more power. I mean, it handles great in the twisties, but doesn't seem have enough power for the straights (or the stoplights).
Does anyone have any suggestions to drag more power out of my 1.8L. I'm looking for about 140hp without swapping the engine. Has anyone out there tried pulling this much power out of their 'fourteen and if so how did you do it? Any help or suggestions or even ideas that you could provide would be greatfully appriciated. Thanks. P.S. I want a dependable engine that I can use as a daily driver that won't need to be rebuilt every 10,000 miles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

QUOTE(Jake Raby @ Feb 17 2004, 08:11 PM) Forget that... Like I said I'd rather have a small block chevy... 4 IDAS and atleast 400HP (and you can buy all the parts fro Summit dirt cheap) Type IV or V8 for me..... Thats the simple engines of the world. Hell the Type IV has bigger main bearings than the V8 does! bigger pushrods too!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) my buddy about shat himself when he saw type 4 pushrods... "compared to type 1s... they are massive" he said (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I 1/2 agree with you jake... v8s are definately the easiest/cheapest engines... but I NEVER want a radiator in my 914... |
