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.

VR6 = $$$. i'm leaning towards the honda because i have a few "hook-ups" for parts and engines. i agree with the bling bling parts, but the fact is that there is a wide selection of parts to choose from, and not all of it is bling bling. i don't think the v-tec is hype, its just a different way of squeezing horsepower out of a small engine. i'd probably wouldn't even go the turbo route if i got the v-tec, i'm just saying that to get a similar amount of power out of the type 4, i could have a turbo motor that would be smokin' that expensive type 4.
the motor mounts is something that would be a challenge though. and i was thinking about the 3sgte motor too. but, that 3sgte isn't all that cheap or easy to come by either. maybe an sr20det? oh i feel so ricer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) shame on me. |
