Alright - so I had this idea...... how about we take a Vanagon Diesel engine (which is basically a type IV at heart right??) and we rebuild it with a lower compression ratio as a turbo gas motor for a 914. It should be pretty bullet proof because it will be designed for diesel compression.
What do you think? Could it be done to be PCA legal? Fiid. |

using the wasserboxer case would be a no-no, but the heads and cylinders would be "okay" AFAIK if grafted onto a 914 /4 motor.
adding new watercooled heads or subaru "based" heads is still okay....until that is you start spanking too many other cars, then you'll be banned or stuck in a "special" class (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I thought I had read that they might be adding a class for air-cooled cars converted to water (still gotta be P-car based) |
