Time to meet Rotary NARP, welcome to the restart of my project Options

[Rotary'14]

Hi All,

I've been lurking around for a while now and felt it's time to get off my A$$ and put a teener back into my life. I went and rolled my last project car out of my ma's garage, a 1974 2.0 914. It has some rust issues in the rear trunk and the PO had some crappy repairs done to it, but I'm not complaining. This car has been sitting for over 10 years in my ma's garage. This would be my second rotary 914. The first rotary 914 I ever had was over 10 years ago, and it survived stop and go traffic and a vacation to SF california, I live in LA. It was my daily driver to my first "real" job for 3 years. But 3 years of daily driving really took it's toll on my poor 914 and lack of parking forced me to send it to the autobahn in the sky. I kept all the parts and I'm starting the project again.

Turbo Paul.


I blew an oil cooler line and fried the motor (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) . I was getting lazy and bored to rebuild the motor, I decided to sell everything and go with a 350 chevy crate motor conversion which is almost complete. I loved the smooth power of the turbo rotory motor, but was always curious about the Chevy small blocks. My 13b (two rotor Cosmo) motor was pushing about 365rwhp with a single garret t04 turbo, a standalone Microtech LT8 ecu, 3" exhaust. My chevy crate motor is a 330hp out of the box so I hope the same thrill is there. My brother in-law has a 993 turbo look also powered with a 13b turbo. I will try to get him to come out to one of the 914 meets with me one day. Once you drive a 914 with a 200+ hp motor, your "porsche purest" attitude is out the window, wouldn't you say.
