This may sound silly but Has any body put in a 930 3.3 turbo eng and 930 4sp trans into a 914 .. I have extra 930 running brakes cross drilled rotors.. I was being told that it is a ton of work and $$$ and not worth the time or cost .. But I'm having a hard time accepting that 4cyl VW sound .. I'm hopping to find someone who has done this job and can school me better then just telling me DON'T do it ..
Love to hear any feedback on what to do ... Thanks Again Guys |

Yes, whoever is telling you that has never driven one (not that I have either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). iamchappy's orange beast is the gold standard of six conversions. Don't recall the gearbox as others have said but whatever's in there seems to work.
Build thread: chappy build thread Certainly not easy at all but I doubt you'd every hear him say it was "not worth the time or cost". The good news is you already have some of the expensive parts. Post #585 from 2011 states: "My car kinda scares me....sure got my heart pumping tonight. I wanted to check the boost pressure but had my hands full and didn't dare take my eyes off the road...." Actually posts 561 on are pretty good. His giddiness increases as he turns up the boost. |
