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.

Clay,
For all that hatred of rice, you must have had your 914 smoked by some "ricer" in a civic. I agree with JP. Horsepower rules. If you don't have it you are just another toy car that should be in the slow lane. Honda makes some good stuff. They were the first manufacture to make the 100hp/litre mark and have a reliable daily driver. Plus you can make them handle great. I have seen many a turbo and non turbo civic with enough power to walk away from most 911s and 914-6s. Boy that will really piss off some of the Porsch owners. Built right I have seen a few that could out handle some 911s and 914s. You can build a lot of power inexpensively with Honda parts. There is a huge aftermarket for them as well. I have seen street driven 200-600hp civics. So what if they are wrong wheel drive and the engine is in front of the driver. The Civic, Focus, Corolla, Celica, Golf, GT are the new tri-year Chevies, Novas, Lemans, Darts, etc. Like it or not they are the future. |
