anybody heard of a V-TEC conversion for the 914. KEP could probably come up with an adapter if he doesn't have one already. but, will a front drive motor work with a rear drive tranny? does the crankshaft spin in the same direction? anyone hear of any other front drive engine conversions? my 914 deserves more power than i can afford to get out of my type 4 motor. for the cost of nickies and upright cooling and head work, etc. i could have a turbo vtec setup.

A billion and one "bling bling - makah no power" parts you mean. I don't count turbo's as a special "hop up part" for a Honda because you can turbo any car. Most of the Honda stuff is relegated to bolt on headers, intakes, etc. If you are going to go turbo with an engine transplant stick to a motor that was turbo'd to begin with. Perhaps a 3SGTE from Toyota. I actually bought one for my 914 but sold it when I got my 20b. As for the whole Vtec thing - highly overated in my opinion. All you get is a little power surge in a small part of your powerband. Mostly marketing hype.
