I have the chance to buy a 2,2T motor.
Is this a good motor for a 914 6 conversion? Its not cheap so I want to be sure that its not wasted money. There is also a 2,4 available and its a bit cheaper. Advice required (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1300.photobucket.com-17452-1472590389.1.jpg) |

That is a loaded question. What is the condition of the 2.2? Are you planning to install it and just run it? Are you looking to rebuild it and then install it?
Same for the 2.4. Personally, I say buy the engine that suits the driving style you intend. Street driving? Track events? Are you planning on keeping it carburetors or going to go to F.I.? I wanted a reliable, no nonsense, dependable motor that would start every time. I decided to go with a 3.2 with Motronic injection. Straight forward swap from the stock 6 motor with very few modifications, none of which are major. I figure that motor will be good for about 230 HP with terrific low/mid range torque for a street car. |
