Who all have tales/tribulations about buying a nice motor?
Any reccomendations on places to look into? Im not interested in an off-the-shelf TIV, but a nicely built motor with some fire... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I have been looking for somthing from outside CA if possible.....fuck the government, I dont wanna give them any of my tax $$...! "justveedubs.com" seems like they might have something in store for me...any horror stories or better reccomendations? a bit of customization to their "2700cc TIV" might do the trick nicely.....mebbe "101.5" instead of those 104's though... woah....

[I know you are working for the high-end market, filling that price-point.....but do you have any inclination to offer a high-tech but slightly more budget minded engine option? IE. carbourated? that would knock off like 5K no?] -JD |

only 1 turbo will be used...I bought 2 at a good deal... going onto a stock 1.8 one of these days...I have aftermarket fuel injection to make it easier (famous last words, hahahaha) selling motor due to needing cash for a car accident I was just involved in.....cannot say more until it's all resolved, but it could be ugly.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) the "can't turbo a 914" is long standing joke....I think it started when someone wrote into European Car asking about it....the editor or tech writer was a moron and wrote that it couldn't be done or would be a bad idea....you can turbo a weedeater if you can find a small enough turbo (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |
