As an owner of a Raby motor I can tell you it is not just about max HP. The motor combination has been developed to be very drivable and smooth, it runs cool, idles in traffic and loves to stretch its legs on the open road. I stayed with a 4 because I felt it was the best package for the car. Still light weight and low CG, no big oil tanks or radiators to cut into your car, I still use all stock 914 rubber and hardware, the 901 handles the power fine and it is a very clean install. You pay to have things done right. I knew I could not build the motor well so I payed for Jake's thousands of hours of experience, not just the 100 or so he put into my motor. I could have bought the parts and done it myself and made one stupid mistake which would ruin the motor. It would not be that cheap after that. I'm very happy with my purchase and have had 13000 trouble free miles over almost 9 years. My .02.

Anybody can make power, not everyone can make it at a sane RPM, make it predictable, make it run cool, and keep it that way for years. Thanks for shining in with your direct experience. Damn, its been 9 years already?!!! WOW! A Pauter engine isn't designed to be thermally efficient. The head castings are barely finned and so are the cylinders. The engines heat soak badly. |
