I'm kicking around the idea of upgrading my 914-6 that currently has a stock 2.0 engine in it. It a 914 conversion that has an original six in it with Webers. I like the idea of more hp & the motronic fuel injection. What am I getting myself into if I take on this project over the winter? What parts will I need to buy or replace. Tranny is a 901 with LSD.
- Engine with wiring harness - DME - Flywheel/clutch? - Engine mount? - ??? Anyone document their 3.2 install |

Just a few more thoughts. 3.2's and 3.6's transform the car when they're well executed.
1. Make sure the transaxle is in prime shape. Bearings, spiders/sliders and synchros should be inspected if they haven't been already. 2. If you push the car hard... and with the higher torque/hp you will, you'll probably want some kind of reinforcement for "insurance". Especially track-time and/or AX with race rubber. Do it before "some number" of cracks start forming and your bodywork bill starts climbing. You won't know it for a long time if it's slow to come on. 3. The flywheel for your existing clutch can be bought that will accommodate the parts needed for your DME pickup and the transaxle will have to be notched to accept it. 4. You don't have to flare the car but may want to eventually just to get more tire under the car... like the factory did. Of course they didn't have our tire compounds either. Good luck |
