I am thinking about converting the 2.0 to a six with HP in the low 200s, but before I go on with the conversion, how fast will the car be, what other cars can it beat, 0-60 times.

Not a six but my Raby built 2270 Type IV (150 hp) can top 125 easily. Haven't had her much past that yet but feels like there is plenty left and the aero & suspension don't noticably float at those speeds either. 0-60... don't know, never bothered. Fast though.
For comparison my Boxster weighs about 1000 Lbs. more than my 914 has a 2.7 six (227 hp) and will do 0-60 in about 6 secs according to Porsche and it seems plenty fast. and will hit 155... I've had her up to 140 personally with no problems. 200+ HP in a 914 should be quick enough for 90% of any street contest you might encounter. You might check the specs for the new Lotus Elise. 2000 Lbs, 190 HP. |
