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.

no thanks, 180 is wonderful, anything over 250 fp torque is just overkill. i would bet the difference between 250 fp and 300 fp on a 0 to 60 or even a 60 to 100 run would be less than 2/10 of a second. in the pro drag world thats a lot but in a 914 it is nothing.

as for what it feels like 180 fp is hard to tell from 100 fp in first, second gear it becomes clearer, third and above it is wonderfully different (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

i personally would not want more than 300 fp, remember the torque is your accelleration. if some body wanted to spend money they could slap a v6 desiel with the right gears and it would fly. a v6 deseil should be good for about 300 fp out of a 3 liter motor
