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.

QUOTE Built right I have seen a few [hondas] that could out handle some 911s and 914s. maybe a 911, i've never heard of a honda outhandling a well built 914. and i doubt i will..... the only japanese motor id consider giving up PCA membership for would be an STI Subaru motor. something like 280lbft of torque and around 300hp, imagine hooking that up to a built 915 gearbox... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) ive been thinking about potential powerplants: 928 motor? too heavy for AX. Chevy? hell no! 2316cc turbotype4? not enough longevity and too much money!! porsche 6? i wish i was rich enough. i would totally love to do a twin turbo typeiv of a reasonable displacement (2056-2316) but i dont know exactly how im going to build the heads to handle lots of boost pressure. anybody know of any companies that do individual heads per cylinder (4 heads, 2v per)? ive spent some time looking at the heads and block on a type iv and it looks like it will certainly be a hell of a challenge to do a twin turbo typeIV right. ive heard that beveling head/mating surface to fit in each other and running the motor rich to form a carbon seal to hold high head pressure. |
