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 hoping someone would check into these things.
Mainly the TDI conversion- seen the price of gas lately? Or Even a 16 Valve conversion- same thing with the GTI engine. I'm not sure how I'd feel putting deisel into a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) . But, as far as the GTI /Rabbit engines go Parts are CHEAP those engines are maintenance FREE, they take a beating, They rev nicely and the conversion cant be too tough. The KEP kit, the deisel vanagon flywheel, and the 'leaning engine' kit are all you'd need. inquiring minds wanna Know!! -Bob O |
