Hello people.
I'm a noob here, but been around cars for awhile. Recently acquired a 75 914 that is very clean and going to do the Subaru conversion. Car will be used mostly for track events and some odd miles on the street. The question that I had, is how does this car respond to high horsepower? In stock form, the EJ257 will put out 300 at the crank and I'm wondering if it makes sense to tweak it a little more.... I've seen a few conversions done here and read through a ton of threads. Some very helpful info here, but I haven't read anybody's feedback on what the chassis will do if throw 500hp at it? Besides all the supporting mods necessary to handle the power, what will the driving dynamics be?? Maybe it's not worth to do anything except just the engine swap, but since it's going to get a full cage, big brakes and aero, maybe go big (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) David |

Here is one for you. twin supercharged V8 914 I am not sure how much power it has, can't remember if it was 750 or 1000 HP
Hope you have a lot of money to spend. Sounds like a fun project I think with so much power its not really useable unless you have some kind of traction control or AWD system. That I would like to see on a 914 someday like a modern exotic car |
