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) |

QUOTE I went for a ride in Fiids new Subaru wagon today, it's a 2.5 turbo that rocks, the same motor in a 914 is going to be scary fast.............. Indeed. My wife's daily car is a turbo Forester. According to Car & Driver: 13.8 @ 9xmph in the quarter. Faster than any car I've ever owned. The same amount of grunt in a 914 would give seriously short rear tire life. Single turbo, with just about no perceptible lag. Certainly vastly better than the '87 RX-7 Turbo I used to have, which had huge turbo lag, and required a lot of clutch slippage to get anything like a good launch. The Soob just takes off like something with an SBC in it. |
