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.

You have to remember it's not just peak numbers that count. That is something that the Honda crowd has been sold on for years. Making 200 hp over 200 rpm is not useful for anything other than bragging rights. Take a look at the new Celica. A friend of mine bought one and it's a dog until the varible valve timing kicks in. He has to shift almost immediately after it hits though and then he's back out of his powerband. A stock 140 hp 13b RX7 from 1987 stayed with him all the way through the gears even though his car is advertised to have "190 hp".
I bought my 3SGTE for $1100 and sold it for $1300. They aren't that hard to find. A nissan engine would be nice - a member here has a Maxima engine in his 914. They make power the old fashioned way - displacement or forced induction. |
