As some of you know, I am going back and forth on putting in a 2.4l six or swapping a Subaru Ej25. I want to know what impact the Subaru engine will have on racing the car. I am specifically wondering how the PCA (and RMR since I am in Colorado) treats 914's with non-Porsche engine swaps in them. I want to be able to run my car at club events. I know there won't be a problem in SCCA racing. But I don't know about the "official" Porsche clubs...

Thanks folks. This is really good information. I don't really care about being competitive. I just want to come out and participate. So if my car was banned all together, that would really bite.
In light of the above, this decision just got really difficult. I have had a low mileage Ej25 with ECU and wiring harness just dropped into my lap as payment for doing a WRX swap on a guy's MY00 2.5RS. And I found out from Renegade that their Subaru conversion kit doesn't require any welding to install. This is important to me, because I would always want to be able to cleanly revert my car to original spec to maintain some sort of value. |
