Hey guys! I'm sure this has been hashed out a million times here, but i was just wondering how it feels to have a powerful 914-6. I own a totaled 2.0 and it's stock. Wrecked it right after high school. (good tires are important!!!) Interesting enough-my friend owned a 1998 454 suburban and my 914 was exactly as fast as it all the way to 98 mph when the suburban's governor kicked in. Here's my question-how fast is a regular 914-6? What car (speed wise) does it compare to? I understand all 914-6's will be different-but i would like to know about yours. Let me know your thoughts!

If i remember correctly, the stock 2.0 FOUR makes 95hp while the SIX cranks out 110hp. Some books have 'em at 130hp I think.
Most conversions will not be a 914-6 2.0 motor, BTW. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) People are going with 2.2, 2.4, 2.7, 3.0, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) BIGGER. Thats HUGE to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Dependending on the year model you are comparing it to, the wieght difference is only 100-200#'s. It's like have me in the the passenger seat full time. Again, no biggie. Imagine 130-250hp for a 200# trade off. Hmmm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Oh, and why spend huge bucks on a rebuild, when you can find another used motor for cheap? KT |
