So, there are some big changes coming in E-production (SCCA) to "equalize" the competition. In 2005, the 914-4 2.0L runs at 1870 pounds with driver.
Is anyone thinking of switching from FP to EP and using a 2.0L now that the 914 has lost 50 pounds? As you may have guessed, I'm considering it. Since I have 2-2.0L engines and no 1.8s, I'll be starting in EP anyway. But, I'm on the 4-year plan to get competitive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) , so it really doesn't matter immediately. I know they used to be competitive in EP. Anyway, there have been some posts about the horsepower a FP 1.8 can make. Any thoughts on a 2.0L? |

If given enough outside funding I would convert to EP 4 cyl specs. It's not going to happen on my current budget. That class is one of the most competetive in SCCA these days. Beating the front running Miatas, Loti, RX-7s, etc. will be a huge challenge in a 914 even with the weight reduction. The minimum weight is attainable though. My car is currently at 2025 or so with 60lb ballast, glass windshield, steel fenders & decklids. A smaller driver would help, as I currently contribute 230 to the total.
If anyone can build a legal 210hp engine that will stay together it's Jake Raby. |
