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. |

I've been trying to work out what it would take to do a TDI 914 conversion. I figured that if you can do a TDI Vanagon (actually a pretty common swap) you can do a 914 swap. I "think" a Passat TDI and and trans may spin the right way and may fit if I can lay it over and get the cable shifter (Boxter?) mounted. I really just need find an engine to measure.
Then there's the 1.8T swap too. Take a FWD Audi A4 and pull the motor and trans, should be the same as the passat, and drop that in with same shifter config. Easy big power there, maybe a viable alternative to the Suby swap. Possibly have to pay more for the motor but the trans cost might be less due to no KEP adapter plate and better shifting. Anyone have any insight into this? |
