Doing some daydreaming here...
Searched some old posts regarding putting the subaru engine in a 914. Figured it would be an easy swap, looked into it for a Vanagun but sold it before I had to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) It looks like a few people have put the EJ20T and EJ20TT in their 914s. If any of you would care to reply and let me know what you think, great. Even if you don't have a subee engine in your 914 feel free to let me know what you think. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I dont think either one has them on the ground running yet....
I think it would be a great combo engine, but not very efficient for the auto x.... Its like a 944 turbo.... Gots a bunch of hp when the turbo kicks in... but below that, its so slow, you think somethings wrong... I think the subaru has 70hp before turbo spool, 300 hp after... If you can get the turbo's to spool up quick (I think Fiid has some quick spooling turbo's) then you can get away with it... Thats where a twin turbo would be better.. A single turbo would be great for more hp.. but the lag will kill you. Asside from that, its very simular to the T4 layout... Low center of gravity, very lightweight. You wont add much weight to the 914... Its a little more difficult to install than one might think.. Its got a computer, and thats a big thing... Just my thoughts on it. |
