I am looking to build a big displacement type 4 for my 914, and I want to hear from people that have driven a 914 w/ a big "4" . I am looking to build something around 2500-2700cc. Any experiences good or bad would be helpful.
THanks Lorne |

Thank you all for your opinions,
There are alot of things to think about as this project goes on, and that is why I decided to put this topic out there to see what others have experienced. I guess a goal should be set, and I would like somewhere in the 160-180hp range, as far as cost well at this point whatever it takes. I absolutely love driving my realtively stalk 2.0l w/ CIS fuel injection, it is very smooth, reliable, it pulls hard. But what it does lack is that thow you back in your seat power taking off from a stop light or coming out of a slow corner. I have toyed with the idea of a 6cyl, but I have driven many big type 1 motors there is something special about driving a big horsepower 4 cylinder. I would never consider a V8 conversion, I just don't see the point. As far as carbs, well I would still run a form of fuel injection so that wouldn't be a real issue for me. Brakes and Transmission, i realize that can be a problem, I already have 911 vented brakes up front, and am iconsidering my options for upgrading the rear, and the transmission, well I would cross that bridge when I came to it. Please keep on posting your ideas or opinions on here, I am sure there are alot of other people that are asking the same things. Thanks Lorne |
