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.

Get a reverse rotation camshaft and spin the motor backwards. There problem solved. Really dropping one of the B20s or H22s should make a nice little street motor. Slap a turbo there and run 400+ and you would have a really ass kicker. Grab whole front clip and engine wiring harness. You would have to do some minor work and it should wire right in. Get either Uberdata, AEM or Hondata and hand tweak the computer for your application. Buy a set of headers and just run it like the factory did and route it out the drivers side of the motor, straight out the back.
You should not have any more headaches than these other people that do conversions. The 928 motor weighs more than a cast iron small block engine. Not worth it. the Scubby motor would be really neat. Forget building a turbo T4, RIGHT. Until there are some better heads it is not worth it. |
