Does anyone have a hi HP plan for a '74 2.0L 914 engine rebuild? I want to get the max possible horespower out of it and retain the reliability. If someone has pushed it to the safe limit and can provide me w/the details i would appreciate it.

Currently fuel injected but I would like to entertain all avenues
smilie

Thanks,
Darryl

We made big head way this weekend with the "New Endeavor"...

This is gonna be sweet, but I really have to get on the ball to be done in time!

There are several hundred ways to build these engines, but the best are about to be very simplified. I have plans for any budget, but the main thing is that EVERY component related to the TIV engine, except very, very few is about to have one source...


You can buy my complete engine, but the wait list is now at 9 months+... BUT, you won't have to buy the entire engine the way I have things set up now.. Most of the same combos will be available in kit for, or by the piece and fully compatible...

But don't dare trying to intermingle my stuff with someone elses, nor even ask the question! It has taken years to get the compatibility down, and I'm not interested in trying to make my designs work with the parts others carry..... If you get it all here, either piece by piece, as a full kit or as a complete engine- It will work!

Now days we are only building 2270 and larger engines, the smaller ones are perfected combo wise and will be available so damn complete that you won't even need to buy a nut or bolt to complete the assembly!

It looks like I will even have 4 complete sets of tools to rent out to those assembling my kits, with everything you need right down to the deck height and pushrod geometry tools....


Of course there will still and always will be negative downfalls of building an engine yourself, but the chances of flawed parts or incorrect parts is greatly lessened with doing things my way. Hell, since EVERY kit I plan to sell has been the result of my R&D and over and over testing I can even offer full tuning settings for timing and jetting for any altitude- See where else that exists !
For those that don't want to assemble it, I still have my engine building department, but those engines are now sold fully developed with 90 hours of labor dedicated to their conception and they really are not cheap- They are my hallmark!

BTW- I can do 150HP for a street engine literally in my sleep and recite every setting verbatim for every combination....

Coming VERY soon! T minus 8 DAYS!
