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) |

To quell the "not enough tourque at the bottom" fears I made this little graph to compare the torque curves of a stock 2.0 Type-IV and a stock (USA) WRX 2.0. Apples to apples - these are wheel-dyno numbers from multiple sources. The WRX motor weighs 40lb less than the Type-IV by the way. 40lb ought to be enough for a cooling system. Remember this is a stock EJ20T (in other words "worst case scenario").
