Hey guys,
A buddy came by and saw our 914-6 build and we started talking 914's. He mentioned a crazy V8 Twin Turbo 1971 914 that he has had for a few years. He brought it by the shop here to do some work to it. I think some of you may be familiar with it...it is the same car seen on the cover of VW & Porsche in the December 1986 issue. Originally built by Jim Traverse. The engine is a 355 Small Block with a bunch of goodies and she has been heavily modified throughout. I expected to see more of the car cut out but the rear trunk is 100% intact. You can see the front has been cut to allow for cooling with the roll cage completely integrated. I know this isn't really a factory car but I thought you guys would enjoy seeing this! Here are some photos to start: Can't fit the spoiler in this photo... |

I've wanted a twin turbo 914 for 20 years.
Mine will be built using an original(never used) Gale Banks twin turbo system I've had sitting in the original boxes in my garage for 15 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwk4WEuBttk |
