why no turbo 914's out there? Options

[Next GenRacing]

i am relatively new to the 914 scene, but i am curious as to why there is no turbo'd 914's out there, at least none that i could find.

the main problem i can see is the heat, but couldn't this be overcome with a front mount oil cooler?

i am experienced in turbo theorys as well as built 3 different turbo cars (from NA to turbo)

let me know if there is something i am missing here?

There are a few out there mostly 1.7l's as the 2.0l suffer from blowby due to the thin sealing surface between heads and the cylinders.
SammyG made a 2.0l turbo that was blowthru sold it and Mark L had then sold it and the motor was made NA again
BenM has one in Eastern Wa thats a 1.7l with Kjet on it, runs good
EJM had one back east and has sold it, 1.7l
Jenny's brother had a 2.0L djet one that shot 3 ft flames out the tailpipe when shifting, he loved to race people haha. Think its dead right now


There are no kits at the time but Jake is working on a new setup to solve the head sealing issue. The more boost you apply the quicker the heads/cylinders fail at this time if larger than 90mm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif)
