I had always assumed that the type 4 was also used in the 912. However it seems that they used a polo motor instead. It actually looks like a 6 cylinder less 2 cylinders.
Has anyone used one of these in a 914? Any more power to be gained? Advantages & disadvantages? Thanks DAvid |

It appears the car is a keeper. I've had offers of 135 but I couldn't rebuild a car to this level for that. 10 months ago I thought I could sell it for north of 150 pocket a little money and build another one. Maybe even a 914 POLO car. Well prices and parts have gone up so much for both I can't make that happen unless prices come back down. Who knows if or when that might happen so I'll probably go retrieve it in the next month or so. I have several improvements I'll do to the car over next winter.
And yes I talk to someone several times each week about POLO engines. There is quite a bit of interest in that engine. My site gets about 75 views a day from all over the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyWMnx1yxvc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmMtdIfX-Yk Dean 's new web site address is www.PoloMotor.com |
