Like every 914 owner I've been thinking I want more power. You know, I'd like to at least be able to smoke a Mini Cooper S or a Honda Civic Si without breaking a sweat.
I've been collecting parts to build a 2056 2L engine. I keep wondering if it's worth it. Or, will I still want more hp in the end? What kind of horsepower does it take to make a 914 into a 0-60 8 second car (Civic Si), a 7 second car (Mini S), or a 6 second car (S2000)??? TIA |

Ha ha yes it is... but the 3.2 fan is louder.. and I get the "high tech" woosh of the flapper box behind my head in a injected 3.2 car.
I "enjoy" carbs also... but if I was a daily driver type of 914 guy like Anthony is... injected 3.2 all the way. Save your money. I have yet to clean a dirty injector on a 3.2... LOL B |
