So Saturday, at EASY, while Ways was garage saleing, and Andy was Octoberfesting, I saw a 914 at EASY that has a very well engineered install of a Honda Odyssey motor. Sounds like it goes like stink! Guy says he's a member here but this is the first time I've seen this.
The thing drew a crowd of about 10 guys. I made the comment "If a 914 drew this kind of a crowd at a Porsche event 40 years ago it was because they were asking the guy to leave!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

He said its never run hotter than 190. Sounds like a legit super-car when he left RGruppe...

He said its never run hotter than 190. Sounds like a legit super-car when he left RGruppe... I have an Odyssey, great van that I haul the kids around in. Very dependable with good gas mileage. The Honda motor I would stick in a 914 would be the 2.0l VTEC from a 2011 or later Civic SI. That motor is crazy fast above 5000 rpm. I have never heard or seen anyone here try to use this motor. Naturally aspirated that redlines at 8000 rpm. Not even sure what tranny would work with the motor since the RPM's are so high and the car was originally front wheel drive. |
