I am thinking of buying a 74 1.8 for 3500 with 39k miles, a mechanic I know got in a trade for some work and I have wanted one for about 10 years . also how much more HP will I get if I put dual webbers on it ( are 44 better than 40s ) and are there higher ratio rocker arms to increase lift to allow for the added fuel , eletronic ignition hotter coil , what other semi simple HP increasing things can I do . BTW I love this website

BTW I love this website I recently bought a 74 1.8 for $2700. no rust, really a nice original car. cost me about $500 to debug the l-jet and now it runs great, just as Porsche intended. IMHO if you can find one of these still running the FI, you should stick with that. it works great, it's a good setup. altering the engine for more power is a slippery slope with no end in sight. you want a fast car? go buy one. the 914 in it's stock form is a good,fun car and in stock spec will hold value quite well. offer $3k and drive the car and enjoy it for what it is.

If this is your first foray into the 914, have someone from this board look at it with you. Rust under the surface can make a grown man cry. The cost of a few beers and maybe a steak dinner will be much worth it. you want a fast car? go buy one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Funny but true. |
