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(lapuwali @ Dec 16 2004, 02:57 PM) Sure, all of those early 911s driving around with 901s that spin in the opposite direction are failing constantly. James, flipping the R&P only changes the direction of rotation of the output shafts. It does nothing to the rotation of the input shaft and the pinion shaft. If you have an engine that spins the other way, both of those shafts will be spinning backwards. So it may actually be the case that running the input shaft of the transmission backwards will reduce its life or will make it work very strangely. I suggest side-stepping all of this backwards-running stuff. Get a K-series motor that spins the correct direction. 160 HP @ 6500 RPM ; 141 lb-ft @ 4000 RPM for the lower-powered version. I believe (but don't know for a fact) that the 200 HP (@7800 RPM) version still has 141 lb-ft @ 4000, but the torque peak is 143 lb-ft @7000. Or, heck--get yourself a Nissan SR20DET. It's a force-fed monster of a motor!! --DD |
